The beginning
I’m not sure why, but for the past 12 months (maybe more), I’ve wanted to play small scale games. I’m not sure what it is that appeals to about the idea, whether it’s the scale the grandure of it or what. I wasn’t particularly taken with the idea of historical (OK, possibly ww2) but fantasy kind of appealed. Yet I have neither any opponents who are interested in playing at this scale or the time and resources to throw at this flight of fancy. So this idea floated away like the leaves in autumn.
Then one day whilst I was looking for something else, completely unconnected I came across a 6mm plastic rhino, and then I remember somewhere in the attic of my parents house is all the space marine stuff I bought in the late 90s, and my dreams of small scale gaming was reborn but this time in the grimdark worlds of Warhammer 40k.*
So with the spring clean challenge upon us, it seemed like the perfect time to indulge this gaming urge. Also what else has the grandure of 40k with its over the top medieval gothic.
*to be fair to myself 40k despite having space ships and guns is pretty much fantasy, it has orcs, knight and dragons.
