Back to Basics - Warhammer Resurected

As this is my first post I will do a quick introduction

- I’m 27 years old, born and currently living in Sweden, in a town of about 130000 people called Linköping. Since I was 6 years old I have been a devoted gamer in all areas. I remember Christmas when I was 6 years old and my father had bought me “Drakar & Demoner” (More or less the Swedish equivalent to D&D). Oh little did he know that he had just changed my life forever. I still pick up those old rulebooks and invite some friends over for some old RPG fun.

- Not long after I picked up Warhammer, coming from a game where I had on more then one occasion enjoyed playing a Wood Elf, jumping the treetops filling my enemies with arrows my decision was simple, I started playing Wood Elves. This should be around 5th edition I think, we didn’t pay too much heed. A bunch of friends played almost every week for 6 years and then the rest of the life caught up, other games, other friend and parties.

- So now, almost 15 years later I go through my boxes in my storage area and I stumble upon my old army. Well, army is kind of strong word, almost all was broken, half painted and missing. But even so nostalgia sets in and I bring them back to my house, much to my pregnant wife’s distress I bought some glue, and assembled everything that I found. This is what I turned up,

  •   18 Glade Guards, no standard, no champion no musician
  •   8 Glade Riders, no standard, no champion, no musician
  •   10 Wardancers, no champion, no musician
  •   Orion & Ariel
  •   Durthu
  •   Elven mage on Elven Steed

I realized pretty quickly that this wasn’t going to cut it and off I went to the Games Workshop site and ordered,

  •   1 Wood Elves Battalion Box
  •   1 Dryad Box
  •   1 Wood Elf Lord
  •   1 Wardancer Lord
  •   1 Battle Standard Bearer
  •   Bunch of Colors & Brushes

So here I am, ready to spend hours and more hours painting and assembling my armies from the Woods.

Wish me luck!
