First entry, more to come

So here is the first entry in my blog on stuff. Mainly a warhammer modelling blog really, but I guess it may include other interests as well. I figured I'd start this, as slowly but surely I have started getting more different types of Warhammer models. I started off my Warhammer days back in 1999, in 5th edition of Warhammer Fantasy battles. Was about 11 back then I think, and I picked up some Lizardmen.
Why Lizardmen? Well, at the store there were only two plastic boxes. Either 8 Saurus, or 2 Brettonian Knights. Pretty simple decision huh? For a kid like me with almost no money, gotta get the one that will give you more models right? And that's how it all started.
In High School, a few of my friends collected Warhammer 40k so Fantasy took a brief hiatus until my friends got into that.
Slowly over the years, I have been building my collection. It's not huge by any means (Although, with the way I spend money on it nowdays maybe it will be someday...) but it has been growing throughout time.
I have taken more recent interest in Specialist Games and other systems as of late. I did pick up Mordheim back in 2002 I think with a warband of Witch Hunters, but that was only my only stint with Specialist Games until more recently. As of 2008 I took an interest in getting into Bloodbowl, participating in my first tournament (In any system) and joining the local league in Adelaide where I managed to come in 3rd in the first season in 2009.
I've also picked up some Epic Armageddon Space Marine miniatures which should be fun to paint, and am looking at Warmaster possibly in the future (I have to restrict myself a little, too much unpainted stuff nowdays).

I've also put in a purchase for Unchartered Sea's, something that seems to be taking off in the Ausbowl forums. Should be interesting to paint something different.

Anyway, that's my brief? Probably not so brief really introduction post. Should be putting stuff up on this blog as they come to me or as I get stuff done (Which seems to be at a slow pace nowdays. Hard to balance work, warhammer and computer).
