Hey everyone,

I think it is indeed a little bit late for an Intro as I got myself into the action as soon as I joined up on the forums. Been having a blast and do really appreciate how welcoming and helpful the community here is.


A few words about me:

I remember painting warhammer miniatures for a year or so when I was a teenager, now 27. But what woke up my interest in miniature gaming again, was that we had established a "board gaming alliance" of sorts with my mates. And as none of us except for me had played/painted miniatures before, getting into proper wargames was out of the question. So I just figured out maybe I could spice up our RISK/Dudes on a Map games. Now I've been painting for around 1-2 years.  This hobby provides me with relaxing pastime and a nice balance between my formwork carpenter day job.

And as board game miniatures tend to be around 10mm in size, of course I settled for the 10mm scale.


As of now, I've totally fell in love with the 10mm miniatures. And I have to admit that the lead hoarding leprechaun addiction is real and out there to get you.


I wish you all a great weekend and thank you for your involvement with me, and of course special thanks to Leon and his crew for making it possible for us to express ourselves through these miniatures.



Best Regards,
Atte

Welcome aboard Atte. I wonder how many of the carpenters in Liverpool speak excellent Finnish, in fact excellent anything other than scouse, or more likely, Polish!

Hi Atte, welcome to the forum!

You already know what you're getting yourself into so I'll forgo my usual warnings about the idiosyncrasies of the denizens here! :)

A number of interesting posts already .... looks like you'll fit right in.

Hello again and welcome.

It always amazes me how good people from far shores are at speaking
English (usually better than the natives).   Pretty humbling.
