Hello all!
I stumbled across this site by accident and am rather pleased with what I've found.
I'm a rather old player as I've been playing
WHFB since 1st edition (I did say I was old!).
My new found interest in the
VC army was kicked off by me going through a box of old figures in the attic for potential ebay fodder and finding some 200+(!) plastic "Skeleton
Horde/Army" skeletons I bought, and painted horribly, as a kid.
Initially I was going to chuck them all out because about half were painted with enamel paint the rest were in pretty bad condition with lots of broken bits. Instead, I worked out how many could be saved, did a test paint on a few of them and they looked superb (my painting has come on a bit in 20 years). This resulted in me stripping all of my old metal undead minis and sitting down to repaint the army again.
I'm not a tournament player, I tend to find tournaments to be too serious and I always seem to end up playing the people who cheat or argue every single dice roll. I much prefer fun games with fluffy armies and interesting battles/scenarios.
I'm actually not a big fan of the current
VC army book and am hoping the 7th edition army book will be considerably better.
I play a lot of non-GW systems and am slowely turning into a snorey historicals player (primarily ancients and ultra modern). No I don't have a beard and yes I do still use deoderant!
Waffle over.
