New here, from Montreal, QC, Canada!
« on: 19 October 2009, 04:44:04 PM »
Hello all,

First of all, let me say english is not my primary language. I'm not bad with it, but expect some goofy expression or translation here and there.

I'm quite new in the hobby. I started painting miniatures two months ago and guessed there must be something else to do with all of them besides letting them sleep in a box.

I am now learning Warlords from Reaper and just ordered Chaos in Carpathia. I am also very interested in wargaming, and as this is mentionned a lot, this forum is really addictive. I see great imagination around and wonderful creativity. I hope I'll be able to contribute in some way.

My main goal right now, besides trying to spend more time painting, is trying to focus and learn 3-4 different games.

See you around!

Tristan

Welcome aboard, my friend! As a fellow on the other end I cannot say my French is up to snuff, either. :)

Welcome Tristran,
I`m only a stones throw from you at the moment in St Jean Sur Richelieu.  Shame I`m on a pretty intensive course, and that all my toys are 800km west of here, otherwise we could have a game of something.

Ah, Montréal, elle me manques beaucoup!
I lived there for 10 years going to school and picking up my trade. Now back in Vancouver, but quand même, c'est pas pire icit. ;)

Sois bienvenue Tristan! Je crois il n'existe pas d'autre site aussi accueillant partagent un telle diversité d'intérêts.

Don't be shy about posting your work or game reports if you get a chance!
