I got into miniature collecting when I was in my early teens playing D&D and then Warhammer FB- 40k was just showing up as I was making an exit. I decided to start collecting and painting up miniatures again earlier this year-April I believe after seeing some of the Dark Sword Game of Thrones minis. Visiting my local GW I got to know the manager and he was extreamly enthusiastic about 40K and I kinda got interested through him- this turned into full blown 40K hobby- I cant get enough of it lol :) I have built a Dark Angel army - and I am enjoying painting them up just now. Yea I agree I am enjoying the hobby more than I did way back in the 80's although part of me wishes I'd never stopped- bet my painting skills would be through the roof by now if I hadn't not to mention the collection I'd have lol .Unfortunately my Game of Thrones mini's have been shelved in favour of 40k but thats not a bad thing right? :)

I am also enjoying all the back ground material that goes with the universe- I thought Tolkien's works had a wealth of back ground but this is just phenominal.
