The Start of Something New

Welcome to the first entry of "It Came From Outta the Warp!!" (say it as though time and space just ripped open and daemons started spilled out ). This will be a general blog about what I'm doing, making, and playing, everything from terrain making to mold making. I'll also be doing tutorials on how to make the stuff I'm creating too, my goal by doing this is to help inspire others into the hobby. The point of this blog is also show my progress and allow into my creative process, and in turn get more people into the amazing hobby that is Warhammer 40,000

Just a few things about me, I started playing, really started hobby-ing Warhammer 40,000, when I was 10 after seeing my eldest brothers amazingly painted Eldar army. I was so blown away that anyone could create and paint an entire army on such small scale, I had built Gundam models before yet this was something else entirely, the esquist details and the fact that you had to really paint them inspired me to start. So a couple of weeks later, it may have been a week later, I went down to my local game store, really it was the closest one, only 45mins away. There I bought my first kit of plastic space marine, and those 5 little marines got me hooked. Soon that was all I could think about, space marines and building wargaming terrain. Everywhere I looked I saw thinkings to convert and build, of corse at the time being 10 I didn't have the grasp of finer details what I did have was heart and a wanting to create, also in 2001 there wasn't an online community as there is now, meaning that you couldn't just go online and type in "how to paint/do/make/whatever" and come back with anything useful. At that point you couldn't be connect to a larger gaming community without having a FLGS (Friendly Local Game Store, for those who don't know) and being 10 I couldn't hop on a bus to go two towns over or drive a car so my options were very limited. Now later in life and with the awesomeness of the internet I have been able get back into the game in a whole new way, re-inspired to do more.

My first rulebook.

So my hope is that this blog will inspire people, gamers and non-gamers, and make it somewhat easier on those who want to get into the hobby and game and don't know where to start.

Oh and I'm a professional Fire Dancer, teacher and Artist too, so some of that will sneak on here from time to time too.
