Octimising My Armies

I’ve written another column for the good folks over at Wargaming Ireland. Read about my plans to bring my armies kicking and screaming into the new edition! Share your experiences either in the comments over there or right here, I’d love to open a discussion on how other people are dealing with this.

Introducing…

….Another blog that I’ll only be updating sporadically! Yay!

This is my space to talk about my hobby of wargaming and painting miniatures generally. I’ve just started painting up a new army (WFB Chaos Daemons) and I have a good number of tournaments coming up in the near future so this seems like a good place to start.

For the record, although I do enjoy tournaments I wouldn’t describe myself as a massively competitive player, mostly I play for fun and tournaments are simply an opportunity to get a bunch of games against new opponents rather than any driving need to validate my tactical skills.

I’ve been doing this for a while now. I started wargaming with 2nd ed. WFB and at one point was in the enviable position of being paid for my hobby. I spent a spell working for Games Workshop as a games developer and then as a White Dwarfer amongt other things. When I moved to Paris about 6 years ago, I gave away my wargames collection to various clubs and friends, since then I’ve got back into the hobby (mostly driven by my involvement in Warhammer Online) and am now thoroughly hooked on 28mm crack once again.

I have a WFB Dwarfs army fully painted as well as a sizable Warmachine Cryx force, I have a bunch of painted WH40k Eldar which will one day be the nucleus of a fully painted army as well as mostly unpainted Chaos Mortals and Chaos Daemons for WFB.

Please feel free to comment and give feedback on my work, the blog in general and any part of the hobby that interests you.
