Warhammer
I've decided to open up this blog to all things geeky in my life as I don't think I have interesting things to say about programming often enough.
So, to start this new trend I thought I talk about my desire to get back into Games Workshop games. I've been following them on Twitter for a while now (since they re-released Space Hulk and my wonderful girlfriend managed to get me a copy for my birthday!). I saw that they were redoing Warhammer, as well as redoing my favourite race - The Skaven!
After seeing all the amazing new models and the new rules I thought it was time to dive in and I ordered the collector's edition and a unit of Clanrats. The Clanrats serve two purposes - a start to my Skaven army and a testing ground for my painting skills. The new Space Hulk models were just too nice and I didn't want to end up ruining them!
My main reasons for stopping in the past were cost and never finishing anything. Cost is still an issue, but not so much now that I have a decent job(s!). The never finishing anything has always been a sticking point. This time I've decided to stick to not buying anything else until what I have is painted and sticking to a points limit for my army. We'll see how long that lasts.
I also have an ambitious idea for a gaming table, but that's much further down the line. I intend to post about my progress here, so if you're interested then stay tuned!
