Garrett: I have been paiting miniatures ever since my first trip to the game store in 1979. Fast Forward a few years and I really began playing Warhammer heavily in the 1990s with Brettonia and Savage Orc armies. After playing video games way too long at the turn of the century, I got back into tabletop in about 2008 starting again with Warhammer 40K. My son wore a Warhammer Online hat to his day care and I happened to run into a father who played 40K. It was back to the addiction. Over the past few years I have built a Space Wolf and Ork army. Now with this new Blog I am going to be working on Chaos Marines, Emperor's Children to be exact. I have seen so many Chaos armies and with the new rules, there is a ton of Nurgle and Khorne running around. So the Dark Prince and I had a chat, and Emperor's Children it is. Our group plays in Ny and NJ. There are a lot of us. Time is always against us with our jobs and families. However, 40K is just too much fun and I am very psyched to convert, paint, and field a kick ass Noise Marine army. Cheers Everyone!
Terry: Hi, I'm Terry and I am the resident lazy sumbitch. I'm 46 years old and I have been playing 40K since the beginning, back in '87. I worked for GW as manager in the NYC store for a couple of years, and in that time I got to meet and learn from a TON of great artists and players; people like Tim Lison, Bobby Wong, Victor Hardy, Jason Morales and Trent Nighman. So my working knowledge of modelling and painting is pretty solid, but I confess to being HORRIBLY slow and I could probably stand to get more hours in to sharpen my techniques.
My gameplay style is sort of a cross between fluff-monkey
and competitive tourney player, meaning I try to put together competitive lists
that still maintain the army's flavor.
I have owned and played many armies over the six editions, but recently
I culled my collection down to Space Wolves and a Storm Warden army that is in
progress.
The Storm Warden project has consumed most of my 40K times
recently, it's an assault-heavy army based on Blood Angels rules and Deathwatch
the table-top game fluff. Given 6th
Editions castrating of the assault rules, my army is a little bite-less right
now, but I figure by the time I get two thousand points built and painted the
Blood Angels rules will have come out, and they will get a little bite back.
I have a few articles in the works, mostly talking about the design and building of the Storm Warden figures, I used a lot of alternative parts from various sources, and I will see about getting some decent photos of the army as it comes along.
Jeff: I have been playing Warhammer in some form or another since about 87ish, I remember shoveling snow for money and hitting the mall right after and bought my first minis; a Citadel blister of skeletons. They were lead then but the hobby as a whole has come a long way. I have gone through some different chapters with armies and such and Warhammer is still in my heart but 40k to me is where it is at. I love the fluff and have read and/or listened to so many of the black Library stuff it has felt as though I know the galaxy from a different view.
I have my old favorite the Black
Templars, and am eagerly waiting for a 6th addition codex, Death Guard
and World Eaters come in next, and then my back burners projects are Red
Scorpions and Salamanders. I love both painting and Modeling and think myself
to be pretty good at both. I am always ready to induct new people into the cult
of the 40k verse. Play for fun and love the spirit of the rules more than the
rules themselves sometimes J Only in
death does duty end!!!!
