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...

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!

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...

HeroQuest Barbarian Rescue.

Converted Hero Quest Barbarian I have not painted anything for over 2 years. Having a baby put an end to glue, paint and sharp things for a while. Times are changing however and i am getting the time and motivation to start it all up again. My old blogs are long gone, my paint is congealed and for some reason my bits boxes were consolidated into one terrifying mass of random parts. I wanted to start up again with something straight forward but also a miniature that wasn't part done. I have a few projects sitting that i was working on when i put the brakes on and packed things away but i wont be deluding myself into thinking my brush skill and technique will just continue from where i left off so ive chosen a few "starter" projects to get me back into the swing of things. My first choice is actually a broken and beat up Hero Quest barbarian. I got him in an Ebay job lot purchase. The previous owner had broken the sword off, hacked away the base and swabbed some pa...
