Howdy,
I got into warhammer fantasy battles and 40k about 15 years ago. At one point our group was playing fantasy battles, 40k and the lotr sbg almost every weekend. After highschool it died down somewhat with the occasional fantasy battle. Later during university I tried out mordheim, infinity, battlefleet gothic and saga. Fell in love with the hobby again.
Favourite faction is Orcs and Goblins.
I like playing games way more than the painting.
I've been writing a sci-fi skirmish wargame as a hobby project.
