Postby OldDude » Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:54 pm

Hey,
I just joined up and wanted to say hello. I played WH Fantasy for about 15 years and dabbled in various other games and systems over the last three decades.

I joined up here mainly for the fig. painting forums but there seems to be a lot of interesting stuff going on. I haven’t played in a few years but I’m getting back into painting.

Hello again and a proper welcome!

Pay no attention to Ruffian and KMB, one is insane while the other is simply mad! 8)

In fact, pay little to no attention to me either, I drive on the wrong side of the road!! 8O

Post some pictures of your work when you get a chance, like to have a look at it.

Cheers!

Very cool!
I like them a lot.
Nice choice of colors on the minis.

Very nice minis! Hello & welcome.

If you're after painters, herne & hunter101's stuff is of superbly high quality (apologies to others if I've forgotten you!). The image gallery here might interest you...

If you fancy picking up games, there's a whole host of different ones played here. A lot of us are picking up new gaming systems at the moment if you want to have a look at some.

Some of us (but by no means all) have our locations in our our profiles, so if you fancy going to a local game club for painting or gaming help, you can tap someone up in person if you ask where they meet. EDIT: although looking at your post timing you seem to be a merkin or a vampire...

It's nice to have some more oldies around!

Hey OldDude. Welcome to the site. More painteers will help inspire me to keep painting and keeping my project logs up to date so we can help each other through the piles of grey models!

Welcome to the site. Maybe I'll have to start painting if we get more painters on board ...

Feel free to create a Gallery album and upload pics, you get a lot more capacity for images there than as attachments in the forums, and you can use one of the many links shown under a pic in the Gallery pages in the forums; I'd recommend the TMBL option as clicking a thumbnail in a forum post will show the fancy lightbox overlay and load the original image, and slideshow all the pics in the post :)

I am not mad, or insane, KMB does not exist, "his" posts are just random bits of background radiation from the big bang. :? :?

Thanks for kind words, I will definitely check out the gallery.

Merkin or Vampire? Damn, I am old! But the time delay might be because of whereI’m sitting, Canada.

And how old? (one old dude to another!)

I'm on the eastern seabord of the US, southern part of NY state, practically neighbors! 8)
And we share some of those answers, though I got them 15 years before you did! :D
