Through interesting circumstances, i have acquired Games Workshops' "Island of Blood" starter set. I used to be an avid wargamer but have been out of the hobby for many many years - getting by on PC offerings such as Blood Bowl and Dawn of War.
As it stands, i felt an urge to start painting again. Painting was always the part of the hobby i loved the most. I could spend hours de-stressing staring intently at a model trying to perfect it!
The Box
My first thoughts when i opened the box were: "Holy crap, look at the amount of detail on these babies!"
Seriously, when i started wargaming, i had the Warhammer 40,000 box set that contained 10 clip together Space Marines and around 40 one-piece Goff Orks and Gretchin! Oh and don't forget the old cardboard dreadnought!
I was always one for the "Good Guys" and so, whilst i intend on painting the Skaven up at some point, i'll be focussing on High Elves and if i ever find any money, intend on building on these first.
I am a trainee Maths teacher and money is exceptionally tight - more so than time right now, so painting this box set will hopefully keep me occupioed until the end of May!!!
I'd hope i can get a first game in at some point too!
So there we have it - this Blog is born!
