While some
of you may know me, I imagine a significant portion of you are busy thinking
“Who is this jerk?” so let me give you a brief rundown on why and how I came to
this group love of ours called ‘Wargaming’.
My first exposure was nearly 20 years ago courtesy of the White Dwarf and a
copy of 2nd Ed Warhammer 40,000 for Christmas later down the track sealed the
deal. Despite Games Workshop igniting
the spark of my wargaming love, recently it’s been other systems that have been
fanning the flames. I have played, or at
least dabbled with many systems over the years, 40K, Fantasy, Lord of the
Rings, Battlefleet Gothic so start with, and I’ve also played Flames of War,
Warmachine/Hordes and Batman the Miniatures Game. My enduring love however has been Infinity which
has solidified its place as my favourite system. Recently Dropfleet Commander is wooing me
with its sexy spaceships and burnthrough lasers.
I love all
parts of the community equally, painting and playing and feel that there are as
many different ways of engaging in the hobby of wargaming as there are
wargamers. Sometimes I’m in a painting
mood, other times I just want to get models on the table or sit for hours
discussing list building and theory-craft.
To this end I’ve worn many hats in the community. I was one of the organisers for the Victorian
Inter-Club Challenge and TO’d the Warmahordes section. Over the last couple of years I’ve served as
a Paint Judge for Arcanacon and have been one of the people running the Total
Reaction series of Infinity tournaments.
It’s my
hope for this group that we can forge a community for all wargamers in Victoria
for all systems and all aspects of the hobby.
We want to make a page with battle reports, painting, list building and
every other aspect represented. And we
hope that you will help us make this happen.
