The Red Flame

Hi all,

Figured I would drop an introduction post in here.

I have a story that will be very familiar - started in 1990 with GW and stuck with that off and on for the next 20 years though over the last decade I have gradually moved more and more to the historical side, though I do dabble with the occasioanl GW product.

As I have gotten older, I have certainly gotten more into the hobby. I currently manage around 10 - 15 hours painting a week (a bit less when the kids are off school) and I am forutnate to have a whole room for painting, which I have almost got set up the way I want it finally. I have way too many projects on going as well as some part time commision work. Pleased to report that this year I am on the way to a mini a day painting! I try to post all my stuff on Insta and Twitter as well.

Why am I here? Well, over the last few years I am finding myself moving more and more towards smaller scales due to space, time and money. I also like the spectale of smaller scale gaming - even when I was younger my favourite GW game was Epic. My main WW2 wargaming is battlegroup in 20mm, and I have 15mm Ancients on the go. I am about to do Sharp Practice in 10mm for the ACW (likely to be my first big Pendraken order) and will be pledging in the new Pennisular not-kickstarter as well.

I won't bore you any more - thanks for having me and I will try and post on the forum fairy regulary on top of using social media.

Cheers

David
