So here's part two. Warhammer Fantasy is my main system that I collect, so that got a post of it's own. The other systems I really only have 1 or 2 armies in, so they can all go in one post.
Warhammer 40k
Blood Angels - I started off Warhammer 40k with Blood Angels. I bought a big lot of models from a guy at school, sold off the stuff I didn't use and went from there. So really, it's a bit of a mish mash of stuff I have for my Blood Angels. Personally I think I intend to sell off all my old models and restart them soon, as I'm not really that fond of my old painting (Given most of it was over a coat of paint already).
Space Marines - With the advent of Assault on Black Reach, you could get Space Marines super cheap. So I decided to do so. Originally I wanted to convert stuff to plastic Grey Knights, but... the whole idea of getting them was to have a side project that didn't require much conversion in the first place (Doing it alongside my Empire, which required lots of conversion), so I just paint them really. I like how they look, and generally have almost gotten a proper army done (Commander, Terminators, Tactical Squad, Rhino, Dreadnought, 2nd Tactical squad just needs basing). Next I plan to add an Assault Squad and Land Speeder to the army, as well as some Heavy Support sometime down the track.
Mordheim
Witch Hunters - I picked up Witch Hunters box back in 2002 I think. That's basically my only entry into the system. I like the idea and design behind Witch Hunters, so I really enjoy the warband. Unfortunately I really only have the warband box + warrior priest for my warband. Since Specialist Games support is minimal, I can't really flesh them out by getting more hounds and models.
Misc - I have a few miscellaneous Mordheim models that I intend to use either in my Warhammer Fantasy armies, or I just bought becaus I liked the look of them. This includes Aenur, the Sword of Twilight, Kislev Ranger, Elf Mage, The Female Vampire persona.
Bloodbowl
Orcs - I started off with an Orc team. Why? Because Games Workshop were out of Chaos Marauders when I went to buy the box. Still I don't mind that, I had a lot of fun converting and painting the team. They're almost completely done as well! Only have to paint 2 more Blitzers, finish the Troll, find 2 suitable goblins and finish another Thrower. These are the guys I took to Southern Shrike Bowl 2008 and came last! (It was pretty much my first time playing, and I took some silly skill choices).
Lizardmen - Had to have a team of Lizardmen of course. Since they are my warhammer fantasy army, it just makes sense. Had plenty of models lying around, so I just did. These guys have served me well, and I think they ended up looking fantastic.
Khemri - Currently one of my work in progress teams. I hope to get them ready for Eucbowl in late July. Not sure if that's going to happen, but I need them done by then for both Eucbowl and the next season of the Adelaide Bloodbowl league I'm a part of.
Norse - Got some Marauders cheap, so decided to go back and do them. I've started, but have not gotten far on them. Got sidelined until my Khemri are done.
Epic Armageddon
Space Marines (Blood Angels) - Well... not really. I bought a box that has the Tactical and Assault marines in it. I'll see how the painting goes, and how much I enjoy it. So yeah, just for painting at the moment and we'll see how they go.
Unchartered Seas
I don't know much about Unchartered Seas. I'm getting a few fleets and the rulebook. Don't know if I'll end up playing, but I chose fleets that I think looked kind've nice. I like the look of the Dragon Lords, so they were a must. I got the humans cause they look kind've good, and should be a good guest fleet if anyone else wants to play. Bone Griffons I think looked pretty decent as well. These are currently on order, so I don't have these models yet, I'll definatly be posting when they come in though.

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).
