About me

Gender Male
Occupation Maintenance engineer
Location Hunwick, Co Durham, United Kingdom
Introduction I have been wargaming now for over a couple of decades, mostly Fantasy/sci fi. However in recent years i have found myself selling up my Warhammer/40k armies in favour of building histoical armies. I have a long standing interest in WW2 gaming and have large scale 15mm German, Russian and American forces, although im always adding something new to these. Also in 15mm i have a acient army in the form of Alexanders Macedonian army. Of late i have turned to the smaller scale of 10mm to build armies for the war in Sudan 1884 and a French Napolionic army for the 1809 campaign. Not wanting to disbandon playing fantasy games i have now added a Undead/Vampire counts army in 10mm to use for our new choice of fantasy rules Warband. I also participate in games of various periods of History with John ( my Dad ) Robbie and Colin of the Independent Wargamesgroup, a group which i have attached myself to over the years.
