36 year old dude from the states. I've played the Warhammers and some other GW games off and on for about 10-15 years. Lately I find myself straying from the flock. I wanted to try something different and something that didn't involve large scale battles. I got looking into skirmish games and on kind of a whim wound up buying a western game called Gutshot which is pretty fun. At some point of scouring the web looking for cool terrain ideas I found myself drooling over the craftsmanship on the western board here. Out of curiosity I went lurking into the other sections and was astounded by all the genres and rulesets that are out there miniature games. It's like a whole new world for me. When I read about all these games and the people playing them I love the fact that they are all very story driven. I have played some RPGs in the past long ago and while I prefer miniature games I feel that for me personally, I've missed the story that is created by playing. I've been mostly looking into the pulp/horror stuff and am thinking of trying that out, maybe some .45 Adventure.
