Title: Hello from New England
Post by: Whiterook on November 27, 2011, 03:38:47 PM

Hello Everyone!

I came across this site from bouncing around the search engines, and stooped when I when I saw an intriguing looking forum that ended up having great content in it's boards. I look forward to searching more of the threads and adding whatever I can to the community.

I've been a wargamer for a little over three decades, but have played games all my life. In the past decade, I develped an interest in miniature wargaming. I had always been fascinated with metal miniatures....but I must admit I stared with plastic Axis & Allies Miniatures; which then progressed to Flames of War, and the Old Glory Command decision miniatures. As you can tell by that last line, I am primarily interested in WWII wargaming, but I am not exclusive to it alone.....I have two miniatures games under design for:

The Battlestar Galactica universe, which takes place right before "The Fall" (the TV Shows, which depict the Cylon attack sending the rag-tag fleet into space). I have a fairly large force of both Colonial and Cylon ships in pewter and resin, which play on a homemade gameboard with a hexogonal grid.


The Stargate SG-1 universe with primarily pewter miniatures depicting SG-1, several SG teams, Jaffa warriors, System Lords, villagers, etc. I have a Stargate and DHD, and the game is played on a diorama.


I started my own wargaming forum last March and have had a lot of fun with that; am a moderator at another gaming forum, ad a Super Moderator at a WWII forum where I developed and built a wargaming sub-forum.

I look forward to meeting members here and making new friends!

Welcome to LAF. There are a lot of other areas to collect, paint and game that are well represented on this forum.  Far too many choices for the good of your wallet.  :D

Wander through the The Lead Painters League boards for some great examples of a wide range of subjects.
