I would also love to indulge in some positivity if that's alright!
I rediscovered the hobby during lockdown (used to collect Chaos/Slaanesh as a kid) and I am loving all of it. I have immersed myself in the message boards (lurking this one mainly) and I am glued to YouTube/Twitch when I can be - particularly a fan of GooberTown/eMR/Vince/TTM/Sam Lenz. The journey so far has been a perfect blend of escapism and nostalgia and the painting side has also offered a real chance to improve a skill which feeds the motivation to continue. Honestly, at this point my mental health owes a lot to Warhammer which would have sounded odd to me a year ago.
The paint jobs, terrain pieces, conversion ideas, fan fiction, digital art etc in these threads and beyond is so impressive and I really feel like I am in this for the long haul.
I am only a recent returner to the hobby and have not even played a game yet so I do understand those out there that have invested infinitely more time, effort, and money are fully entitled to their criticism. It's just, you won't hear any of that from me just yet.
A couple of weeks ago I got the urge to start a Skaven army so right now I am just waiting for my Skaven SC box to be delivered and I am very excited about it. I just have to decide if I am going to stick with the green colour theme for the Pestilens or go for something more original - any ideas/tips/input etc is very welcome. Thank you!
Thought I would share a couple of models I have done in the last few months.. nothing special but it's a start.
