A quick hello world!

In the words of all amateur programmers, "Hello world".

As you can probably guess, I am into IT, war gaming, archery, music, computers, painting and a variety of arts.

Now about 2009 I started with Warhammer Fantasy 7th edition. I got the starter set, containing about 100 models, 30 odd dwarfs and about 70 goblins. Now the models weren't the most detailed, nor did they have options for assembly, it was a starter set with dumbed down models. The assembly was very quick, the painting on the other hand was very time consuming but enjoyable.

After I finished that, read the rulebooks and fluff around all the races and general back story I started with a Lizardmen army, got a battalion from the US, and that is where my true love started for it. The tactics and strategy I enjoyed equally. Having played the Total War series and enjoying specifically Rome, it was a very easy to make the move to it. Having read and enjoyed the Tolkein, Lord of the Rings novels and a few other fantasy novels it was just laying the roots for the fantasy battles I enjoy today.

Recently I moved to Johannesburg, Gauteng, ZA and now with some free time I am spending my time painting, building models and every now and then a glorious tabletop battle. This blog will cover mostly table top war gaming, painting and maybe some tech if it tickles my fancy enough.
