So how did I get involved in Tabletop Wargaming at age 60? Well on a visit to my youngest daughter who was living in Armidale my 2 sub teen grandchildren were busy assembling armies of Space Wolves, Space Marines & Orks as they had found a Wargaming Club nearby. Grandpa was co-opted to assist & paint the models & to their suprise I painted better than they did (Courtesy of many model planes etc when I was in my late teens & 20s)
When they moved to Moruya I thought I would collect & paint an Army so I could play with them. I choose the Sisters of Battle as they were very different to all other Armies in the 40K Universe. Unfortunately there were very few SoB models available & the Codex (rule book) had been out of print for some time although I did track one down on E-Bay.
I then decided to collect Black Templar Space Marines as I was intrested in the history of the Knights Templar from the Crusades. Eventually the Sisters were re launched in the Witchhunters Codex & I was able to complete my Sisters Army. I also have a Daemon Hunters Army with a Puritan Inquisitor & Grey Knighis & we now have a local Gaming Club called the MORUYA MARAUDERS who meet twice monthly for gaming. |
