Sorry about that.

It's just that I don't really have a social life. Since the divorce, and my daughter being away at university, well I don't really get to see anyone to talk to. With money being so tight and all, it's not that I can get out much, and the agoraphobia means that I'm stuck in most of the time. So I see the members of the forum as people that I can actually communicate with, us all having a common interest. I don't do Facebook or that kind of thing - no-one to "friend".

I keep myself busy with the hobby. Research and painting and gaming and planning what I'm going to buy, when I can afford to. At work, I'm seen as a bit strange. My job (Health and Safety and Quality) means that I'm seen as someone to be wary of, and I'll admit I don't socialise well. No interest in football or rugby which is like a self imposed ostracism round here. So I look forward to checking the forum. Everyone seems so friendly and knowledgeable. I love to see finished figures. In some ways I'm restarting in the hobby and I get so many ideas from the contributions.

However, if I'm generating too much irrelevant traffic, I apologise, and will confine myself to hobby relevant topics.

Sorry.

If you do the forum would be a worse place for it.

Come on in, the waters lovely!

I refer you to my latest Song of fsn post :)

Like when Centurions are going to be released , so dont worry your fine!
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Certainly not, we like to strike a fine balance between the relevant and the irrelevant.  Something like a 5%/95% split is usually about right...  :D

Admittedly I don't post much, but I think this forum would be the poorer if you limited your posts.

I've found a picture of a centurion

I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Wait ... what .... there's a tank somewhere in the picture? I must have been distracted :)

I only saw it on the third view, or was it the forth, after trying the zoom features...

The caption definitely said a Centurion - that's what I typed into the Not-Google.

I expected fsn to complain about the stuff obscuring the view
