Edward got involved with miniatures at age 12, when a friend of his mother's introduced him to Napoleonic wargaming. "The pageantry hooked me," he said, and soon his Westphalian militia were battling on the 3rd Sunday of the month down at the local pool-hall supply store. The rules were Column, Line and Square (and he thinks he still has his copy, somewhere).
Edward's going through a minor "gaming crisis" at the moment. He's just moved to a new house, started a new job, and his wife is expecting a baby in April. Most of his miniatures are still in boxes, except for the "little stuff" such as his Epic 40K armies (Imperial Guard, Ork, and a small Eldar force "because they look cool").
He's had to cat-proof his gaming room before, but now he's worrying about kid-proofing everything...
