Been lurking a lot for months now and finally decided to put something up about myself as I intend to use these forums more and more as I progress with severl projects.

In our local 'club', I'm the proponent of gaming anything before AWI.  For my main rules (for better or worse) I've settled on FoG in it's different forms.

Projects I've got going include 1st Century Romans and Germanics to face them, and just started working on Spartan and Athenian forces.  I hope to order a $150 of 30YW soon too.

Like most miniature wargamers, I've got more unpainted lead than painted, but I have become a fan of line of figures here and the scale.  So, color me hooked!

A very warm welcome 'G'.
Glad to have you aboard.
Cheers - Phil.

Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Welcome gregernest.   :-h

FoG is very popular.  I played it for years.  I wouldn't touch it now.  Too much fiddle.  Too much random (as long as you roll '5's on the dice, pretty much everything else is irrelevant).

DBA 3 is recently out and is a really good update to the DBx stable.  Worth a look in my opinion.   ;)

Greeks against Greeks, eh? I do look forward to seeing some painted piccies. By the way, since Pendraken don't make a Thracian peltast, I'm sure I can mention that Newlines do. And if you want a thureophoros, they can be converted from Pendraken Roman auxiliaries.

Welcome Mr Nest.

I'm always a bit wary of people who lurk on this forum and then join. It's a bit like people who wander past bar fights and think "hmmm .. that looks fun. I think I'll join in" instead of creeping away.

Still, it's always nice to have more people with a different way of spelling.

Good show on the choice of periods! I think there's a few chaps here who like the League of Ausberg range. Personally, although I appreciate the clippy-cloppy swish-swish and clippy-cloppy pop-pop ages* (and have a range of unpainted hills to attest to this fact), I do like my horse power in an engine.

Anyway, a warm welcome. Leave your reality at the sparkly door, and your coat with Techno (saves time later).
