Hi from lapsed gamer in Derby UK
« on: December 19, 2016, 07:41:05 PM »
Hi All, Geoff here, thanks Alex for setting up my account, I was going to post this earlier but real life got in the way again. My story is a familiar one, return of a lapsed gamer due to family, work and aged relatives. My plan is to post at least once a month as a way of making sure I get back into gaming.  I'm planning to start with Black Ops because I have loads of Street violence figures already painted up and ready to roll. Solo gaming Black Ops looks like it'll work well. Hopefully I’ll post pictures after Boxing Day. After that I have a bunch of Kallistra fantasy to use with Warmaster (Barbarians and Ratmen, own stats) so that's two projects before and into the New Year. Woohoo...

Welcome

Sounds like a nice mix of skirmish and mass battle. I'm a big fan of 10/12mm figures, you can get units ready to play very quickly.

Using a forum thread to track your projects should help with motivation and progress - and can help with focus, but actually you just find lots of great stuff other people are doing!

Welcome, good choice with Kallistra, they are great little figures,easy to paint and quick to get on the table. Look forward to seeing how it goes for you.
