Title: Hi from France
Post by: sundaygeneral on 03 October 2013, 09:44:54 PM

Hi,

I'm Dimitri, from France, currently 34 years old.

Complete beginner in 10mm, but not in games (I play and collect minis since I'm 15 or 16 I believe...like almost everyone on minis forums, I guess), I recently (last months/years) went to solo gaming first with D&D adventure games, then with Victory point games, and finally with Two Hour wargames games.

I recently bought Rally Round the king, in the purpose of playing solo campaigns. As a solo player without personal fortune, I decided to go 10mm, pendraken especially.

I'm currently polishing my shopping list with questions in the correct forum. I hope I will be able to post more interesting things soon, like painting, and customizing.

thanks for this kind of company, making our hobby more affordable.

Hi Dimitri, always nice to see a new member of the forum.

Lots of knowledgeable people here to ask about the period you are interested in, figures that might be appropriate and techniques for painting 10mm figures.

My motto for these forums is "don't ask permission, ask a question" :)

Welcome Dimitri

I think I've been following your posts on THW's forum.
You're in excellent company here - a fine bunch of people and Leon, etc at Pendraken are extremely helpful.
I look forward to seeing your work.

Hi FAM, happy to see you followed my advice. ;)
You may want to have a look at the historical ranges too.

Hello and welcome.

I am also a solo wargamer without fortune, largely since I found Pendraken. :)

Beware the posts about "new releases". They are particularly good making you need things you never knew you wanted.

Hi Dimitri

Welcome to the Forum. All of us are of dubious sanity and don't take anything too seriously. But Lots of useful info here on Minis etc.

Cheers

Hi Dimitri,

Welcome to the forum.

Can't think how I missed your original post. Must have been away/asleep/unconscious.

Thank you all for the welcome !

I'm currently planning my next army painting. Dwarfs or ratmen...I still don't know. Probably ratmen, finally, since I've got a few conversions planned wich should be fun (converting minotaurs to giant ratmen).

I'm also thinking about a 4th and maybe 5th army too...I never painted elfes or lizardmen, for example :-\ ;D
