Greetings,
This post is going to be pretty strange, all things considered. What it is going to be is my ideas and purpose (changed from 'porpoise'... f*$&%*#@ spellchecker!) for this blog. I'll also include a little about myself if you want to have a bit more of an insight as to where I'm coming from.
i)
Hopefully it will allow me to astound you with the pearls of wisdom that fall out of my umm... errr... thingy-in-my-head.... spam?
Umm, no that's not it...
I'll come back to this later...
I hope...
ii)
It will be a showcase for my Wargaming things (of which there is a vast multitude. A lot of which is painted, just not very well).
iii)
It will be a place for me to bitch and rail against the inherent unfairness of certain games and the arguments between WAAC (Win At All Costs), Fluff armies and hopefully everything inbetween those two opposing factions.
iv)
I'll be doing some battle reports and detailling what me and my reprobates (friends and associates) have been doing at the local gaming store and which part of the hobby we have been currently obsessing over recently.

Me, Myself, I and the Crazy Thing that also lives inside my head...
First off, I'm English and suprisingly proud to be so. I still bitch and despair as to what is happening to my homeland, but I'm proud of where I came from. I do have a very English sense of humour, so I apologise aforehand if you don't think something is funny. You obviously don't have the same or similar sense of humour as mine.
Not my fault.
Deal with it.
I'm actually teaching English in South Korea partially due to the first point and it also allows me to see the world from another point of view.
I'm enjoying teaching over here, but I needed to do something as a hobby other than spend masses of money travelling around Korea or go into cameras, which would be even more expensive than the little hobby that we love or loathe, but hopefully enjoy.
I play multiple systems and I have a number of armies or factions in the ones that I take part in.
Warhammer 40K
Blood Angels- 3500-4000pts-ish (I need to have a proper census of these nutters)
Eldar- 2500 - 3000pts-ish (they are back in the UK and I'm not 100% sure of points)
Tau- 3000pts (but I'm not enjoying my Tau in 5th Ed. due to how I built the army)
Tyranids- 6000pts (most is in the UK, but it will be coming back with me when I'm doing the VISA run)

Warhammer Fantasy
Bretonnia- 3700pts (PEASANTS!!!!)
Lizardmen- 6200pts (...hiss...)
Ogres- 6000pts (FAT-FIGHTERS!!!!)
Bloodbowl
Lizardmen- 6 Saurus, 12 Skinks
Khemri- 20 models (back in my locker...)
Ogres- 6 Ogres, 10 Gnoblars
Battefleet Gothic
Tyranids- ?pts (your guess is as good as mine. 3 BB's, 6 CL's and 27 escorts)
War of the Rings
Rohan- lots (back in the UK)
Rhun- 1600pts
Trafalgar
2 x 1st Rates, 2 x 3rd Rates, 6 x 5th Rates
War Machine
Khador starter box
Black Powder
British Napoleonic- Lots
French Napoleonic- Lots
Painting Style
I have a rather lazy painting style that a lot of people like, but they are horrified when I tell them how simple it is. Mainly it is a simple base coat of GW foundation paints then using various quantities of other GW paints and inks. Before anyone says that GW stuff isn't the best, I'm aware of this, but unless I order from outside of Korea I'll be dealing with what I'm used to.
I have improved a hell of a lot from my Ogres and nids that look sticky and shiny compared to my Bretonnians and my Warmachine stuff that looks like they have just come out of a coal mine, but in a good way.
I'll put up some photos when I do a showcase of my armies and ecplain how I painted them and why I did it that way. It may be insightful to someone... Maybe... Ok, doubtful, but I can hope.
Next Time on... (Sorry, I couldn't resisti it...)
I'll drag out my Ogres and go through why I did what I did and give some ideas on what to do and not to do with them. This will likely all change as soon as the rumoured 8th hits the horizon though so be warned...
Chat to you anon...

That was the thing inbetween my ears right? Or was it a cabbage?
