The Gamers Journey.

A Very Upset Berserker. Some time ago i was accepted onto the Games Workshop store managers course but for one reason or another it didn't work out and i decided to stay in the job i had so i never fully became a GW employee. During that whole process i learned some very interesting things about the company and how they inteact and view their players. One of the best happened during a chat with my interviewers at GW headquarters in Nottingham. I was explaining my hobby past and how i had stopped playing at a point and then come back to the hobby and both interviewers smiled. They then explained to me that GW knew the hobby journey that most enthusiast take and for the majority it can be predicted. For ease ill refer to us as "Gamers". The GW analysis was as follows. 1. Gamer discovers the GW hobby and starts collecting via a box game or through White Dwarf magazine and this usually happens around the time the Gamer starts high school. They either get into the ho

Carcharadon Venerable Dreadnought.

This is my finished Carcharadon Venerable Dreadnought. He has gone through 3 different iterations to get to this point and its been a long stuttering journey. I built the Mk1 version of this dread approx 7 years ago. The GW venerable dread kit had not long been released and i knew i wanted to go nuts with a 50% or 60% conversion. My first plan was to use the legs from the Sisters of Battle Penitent Engine but quickly ditched this idea as they were metal at the time and i wanted more freedom with the pose.

The main issue with using long legs like the ones from the IG sentinel kit was the imbalance it created when you came to the small weapon sponsors the dread kits have as arms which causes a mechanical T-Rex effect. I have seen people use the a

How Much Lead Does One Man Need.

Collecting For Collectings Sake. Having spent 2 years away from the hobby other than occasionally opening a box to see what was in it has changed my perspective dramatically. Aside from the obvious need for more space that having a kid brings i have come to the conclusion that most of the models, books and games i owned are junk.... well to me at least. I had a large collection, small in comparison with a lot of collectors i know but to me it was a good effort. Most of the collection however was gathered on impulse. " I should own that! " essentially drove my collection in an attempt to purchase my youth through miniatures i had or my friends had when i was 14 years old. Now there is nothing wrong with this at all and if i had the space and the money i would never really have stopped but the fate of the collection was always to sit on a box for years untouched and unused. I spent 2 years not taking much interest in the hobby and in that relativity short time i totally f
