(The big 30 posts that is), I feel I ought to at least go back to the step of saying 'hello'. I've been lurking around for a while and just the odd post here and there so those 30 have been a fair time coming. So, a bit of an introduction too I guess...
I started off collecting Eldar back in 2nd Ed, and was still around for the advent of 3rd Ed but never got round to playing it and then moved away from the hobby for a while. So, when I got back into it, I dug out some of the old models and was a little disappointed by my painting (I didn't remember it being that bad). Further upset followed as I realised that I have misplaced a box of what would have been the slightly better painted things, and as I did a mental tally of the cost of the things in that box. :S I'm still hoping that it will turn up one day, but I am well beyond the initial 'man look'.
So, I've been pretty much going from scratch to try and build up a new Eldar force and with working away at sea it is coming along pretty slowly. I've considered taking some stuff away with me to do, but then every time we get in a rough transit and walking along the corridors onboard is a bit like the scene in the hotel in Inception I realise what a terrible idea it would be!
