I thought this was some kind of alchemist forum...where am I??

Hello everyone,

Don't worry, I know where I am by the way.  I found this forum and ended up running across posts of all the other miniature hobby folks I follow on blogs, lurk after on other forums, and skulk around behind in general.  I am only an interested lurker at the moment, as I do not have the financial or temporal freedom to actively pursue this hobby  .  That's what two daughters do to you.    I love em though, so it works out. 

My interests include Sci-fi, Weird war, and WWII miniature gaming, terrain, and painting.

Thanks for reading and I will see you out there! 

Cheers

So much to do, so little time…

Welcome to LAF though

Welcome. I too am located in the great metropolitian area of Denver.

Welcome aboard, my good man. The hobby certainly can be expensive but we all start out small. A blister here, a blister there. And then the horde is so huge it's a mountain and you're intimidated by it and distraught on where to start painting from.

Perhaps you could get some managerial tips from Commander Vyper? I think he's got us all in shame at the moment if my memory is still intact.

Thanks for the welcome.  Well I guess I was a little miss-leading. I used to be very much into this hobby and recently sold off my 2000 point space marine army.  *Sigh*...actually it felt really good watching that get shipped off to some other poor sap who does want to play 40K. Hope I haven't burnt any bridges there...

Last Chancer... nice to see someone else local. Do you have a local game store you frequent?

Thanks again for the welcome!

Ha! A convert. My gaming group which often plays 40k rather dislikes the spess murrreen player and his nigh-unstoppable and cheezy 'reen force to the point they got him to start a space orc force because no one wanted to bother with it anymore. It's alright to have been under Games Workshop's spell at one point, a lot are in the beginning. I still fancy the Tau Empire, Tyranids and Lizardmen myself. Make good enemies for just about anything else miniatures-related.

Welcome - pull up a chair and make yourself at home.

Go with the kids - they grow up but the hobby stays 

But if you can squeeze a little time (they do sleep don't they?) you could do worse than visit http://onemonk.com/Home.html as his figures are now FOC  for rules visit http://www.freewargamesrules.co.uk/ and have a scout around.  Minimal cost to keep your hand in.
