Welcome to Kiwidave's Wargaming Wiki!
I decided that it was about time I set up a site to showcase my hobby: playing with toy soldiers (and occasionally winning...) The site is a work-in-progress, so bear with me - eventually I'll have loads of pics of my various models, and will endeavour to get some battle reports here as well.
A little about me: I'm an ex-pat New Zealander (home of the All Blacks, a bazillion sheep and Hobbits) currently living in self-imposed exile in the UK. I'm the wrong side of 40, married, with a 5 year old daughter. I'm a computer programmer, Cheltenham Town supporter (come on you Robins!), and Star Trek fan (and enjoy almost anything sci-fi or fantasy). My favourite author is Raymond E. Feist, and his Rift War novels. Tolkien is pretty good too :D
On the gaming side, I've been dabbling with wargames as long as I can remember, starting with plastic soldiers and cannons that shot matches, through to my current activities (Bloodbowl, Warhammer Ancient Battles and Blitzkrieg Commander). Years ago I even wrote my own set of WWII rules called Attack! for 1/72 scale models, and have even used Lego bricks to re-fight a battle between Rome and Carthage...
Current Projects:
- Assemble and paint a Warhammer Ancient Battles Rus army (update: 09/07/2011 - now have 1 units of Varjazi (24), 1 Voi(32), 1 Militia (24), 1 Malaia Druhzina (12), 1 Steppe Nomad/Tribal cavalry (12) to paint! Painted stuff is here) - getting there slowly! Next on the painting table will be the Druhzina. Probably.
- Assemble and paint Blitzkrieg Commander Late War Eastern Front Germans - (update: 08/09/2011 - have debased all my vehicles, and changed the support weapons (MG/Mortar) to 30x30 bases. Can now field two full battalions of infantry)
- Assemble and paint Blitzkrieg Commander Late War Eastern Front Russians - (update: 08/09/2011 - as per the Germans. I'm selling the figures for the third battalion, as I'll never use/need them... )
- Finish painting 10mm scenery (update: 08/9/2011 - have completed a set of farm builings - pics to follow!)
