Commander Gonehead Bromville in a nutshell...

I confess, I love the 40K background stories.  For me the Warhammer Hobby is just as much about the back story as it is about the painting and the playing of the game.  I love to read the little blurbs in the Army Books and I pretty much purchase everything that Dan Abnett writes.  I have played Warhammer 40K for a long time, but as of late not so much.  Painting this PRAETORIAN ARMY serves two purposes. 

1. I need to improve my painting skills
2. I need to get back to fighting battles

I miss the Nerd-Centric conversations you get to have with the other players over the wargame table.  I miss the opportunity to meet new like minded people and see their Armies.  I miss eating Cheetos and throwing Yellow No. 6 stained dice across a miniature landscape.   I miss making the noises when my big guns fire.  I miss a lot of things about my favorite Hobby.  Even writing in this Blog is stoking the fires that fuel my desire to organize my miniatures closet so that I can easily access them all and clean off the flash for this project.  I am excited again and can't wait to start painting.  We'll see how excited I remain when my high standards collide with my meager painting skills...

"HI!  I'm Mr. Paint Pot.  Can I be your friend?"
