Title: Hello from Gothenburg, Sweden.

Time to de-lurk.

The name is Fredrik and I've been collecting and painting (and occationaly gaming with) mainly GW 28 mm miniatures for about 15 years or so. The reason I ended up here seems to be Mantic Miniatures and their release of the Kings of War ruleset which seemed quick and fun, but a lot more suited to 10 mm than 28 mm, so I dug through my "one of these days" boxes and pulled out two Warmaster armies I had picked up. I realized that there was a few pieces missing and I was off on a quest of browsing the internet for 10 mm figures. Eventually I ended up here.

I can't see myself selling off the stuff I've got, but my wishlist of things to pick up was pretty much cleared out and now consists of 90% Pendraken products.

What interests me would mainly be fantasy, dark age and medieval things.

Grey minis doesn't do it for me at all, so I'm in a state of getting everything I've picked up painted, at least if I can see myself ever putting it on a gaming table. Then there's kids, family, renovating the house, and reenactment fighting/crafting taking up a fair bit of time (I guess work does take some time as well...) and being a rather slow painter it takes a while to go through those piles of lead and plastic, but one of those days I'll be prowling the mailbox for packages from Pendraken.

Hi Fredrik

How about getting your kids and family to do the renovating?
That covers three of your to do list leaving you to do painting figures, reenactment fighting and crafting. Sorted!
Mind you, I'm not sure how you get the work one covered.....always found that one a bit of a challenge.  ;)

Anyway, welcome aboard.
