Hey guys,
Wow - been ages since I've used a forum like this. Reminds me of the olden days. I used to play 40k as a teenager, but fell out of the hobby as my life changed.
I'm now 30 and got back into it last year during COVID-19 here in the UK. I ended up painting a full necron army, selling them 'cos I didn't like them, then getting a Deathguard and Admech force together.
Unfortunately, I also have adult ADHD so my attention span can leap rapidly from one thing to the next. The hobby is dynamic enough to keep me interested, but my interest spreads across different areas and suddenly one day, I needed to collect Age of Sigmar.
I bought dominion, painted the Stormcast, sold the orruks and then spent a few hundred quid on eBay buying more Stormcast. I ended up with a 2k+ army and painted them all the fastest I've ever painted anything (owing in large parts due to metallic drybrushing and contrast shading).
But with that army done and 2 games played, I knew I needed something. I like Stormcast, but they lack a real sense of identity to me.
Then I saw Seraphon.
Oh, I thought, here are the lizardmen from my youth. They're interesting. I'll just have a little look into their lore. Maybe a Google of their hobby community. Oh, what's this, Lustria online? Hey - I can find their Start Collecting box for like 40 quid....maybe if I sell some unused models on eBay I can justify a new army.
Now here I am with a full start collecting force (and the added models from the excellent thread on here), a bastiladon, 20 skinks, stegadon and Slann (old Kroak).
I'm going with a Teal and Orange scheme for them and want to really play with colour and contrast. I want them to be my most vibrant army and the most 'wow' to see on the tabletop.
I tend to get obsessed with my hobbying. I write lore, read everything, watch YouTube videos on the subjects and even fit in time to game. I can't wait to go on the Seraphon journey alongside my stormcast and hey, I can even ally them together sometimes!
Glad to be here!
