Happy Canada Day / No Witty Name

Happy Canada Day everyone.  This post is late because we went out and watched fireworks at midnight.  It took us longer to get out of where we parked then the whole show.  Still it was decent.  

Introductions, Workspace, Work in Progress and Finished Product

 So I figure I should start my first official post with a little bit about me.  First off my miniature war-gaming.  I have been playing WH40k since I was 18.  When I started it was 3rd edition rules at the time.  Since then a lot has changed.  I played in some small local tournaments and one off friendly games, but nothing too big.  I also got in to WHFB for a while as well.  More recently I have started playing X-wing too.  I also used to play MTG and D&D, plus some other rpgs.  Over the years I have gotten a family and have drifted away from the more social aspects of gaming and more focused on painting 40k.  I have had a lot of different 40k armies over the years but Blood Angels and Dark Eldar have stuck with me the whole time.  Because of 6th edition I start widen my collection, by adding Chaos Space Marines and Dark Angels from the starter box.  That was followed by Daemons and Astra Militarum.  I also had to get a knight titan because they are just so awesome.  Even though I don't get many chances to play I still get the rule books as well.  I plan on adding to my already diverse collection by possibly adding Grey Knights, Sons of Medusa space marines and Eldar. 

So after that history I figured I would start with a little bit of showing off... of my workspace that is.

First Picture Up

I was planning on writing my first real post on Tuesday, but seeing as I have the day off work tomorrow (well technically today) I figured I can stay up and post something now.  And so I present

A Little Bit About My Blog

I have tried to run a blog twice before, but always got distracted.  I am going to try to do a post every Tuesday to start as a way to show of my painting and try to keep myself from hobby burn out.  The last two times has been a combination of burn out and discouragement from a lack of viewers.  However, this time I am going to do it for myself and nothing more.  And hey, if other people check it out, great. 

My blog will be about my favorite hobby, Warhammer 40K, plus some other games I play like Xwing, Minecraft and other geeky stuff.  Sometimes posts may be about music and movies as well. 

Hopefully this try goes better than the last times.
