About Me

Started back with the hobby in 8th edition by picking Thousand Sons, and has since developed an unhealthy love of filigree. This has led to a small Slaves to Darkness force amassing , alongside his Sylvaneth which funnily enough are also the army he's painted most of. When he's not painstakingly painted filigree, he enjoys creating his own terrain, either scratch built or 3D printed. He's also now spent enough time around Edwin that the dadgaming has rubbed enough and his hobby space is being over taken by a variety of historical ranges. Because everyone knows the best way to get someone to play a dadgame with you is to own two armies. Twitter: https://twitter.com/MikeJB_S Insta: https://www.instagram.com/mikejbs/
