The Seasons of Hobbyists
I have always noticed that I do things differently depending on what time of the year it is......Have you?

Spring
Summer
Fall
Winter

Spring - Hobbyist Winter (Hobbyist New Year)
 I love this time of the year (and Hate it if I didn`t prime enough in the fall)
 Winter is over and I can get the primer out again Yay!
This is the New Year for us hobbyists, we all think, this year I will get more painted.
Let this be the year of Painting!
Happy Hobbyist New Year!

Summer - Hobbyist Spring
 Painting is on the brain like a cancer, sadly I and maybe u get distracted with playing the models painted but a majority of painting is done here.
Holidays are either the best for u or terrible, I love them because I can ignore family and paint.
I love the paint.

Fall - Hobbyist Summer
 I love the red and orange leafs on the tree, I tend to just buy, assemble and prime models, Either too much painting is done or not much.
If I over paint, Winter means spending time with the family, not that pleasing to me.
Gaming is done here because we know Winter is coming and gaming may not happen.

Winter - Hobbyist Fall
 When the snow hits the fan! (putting it politely)
I have lots of models primed but do I have time to paint them?
No I usualy don`t paint until after Christmas, I like to go on vacation right after Christmas to a very warm beach down south.
This is our Summer if you will, some of my friends do nothing over this time
Models are bought, very little is painted and were is the SUN?
Questions are asked
Will the snow ever stop?
Why can`t my friends make it to a game?

Are your Seasons like mine?
And have you noticed your seasons?

Intro......Some years into the past......Blood Marines.......

Were to start off?

Well I have been in the hobby a long time starting with model airplanes.

I starting buying White Dwarfs in 1998 and then two years later I bought my first model, Space Marine snipers the blister pack.

My first army I bought was Space Wolves, I never played them and never painted them fully only two squads were painted, I put them in my closet and forgot about them and moved on to Space Marines.

I painted them as Ultramarines but I never played them, they never felt like they were mine, so I moved on to my own Chapter.

The Blood Lords which have gone through a name change and are now Blood Marines, in 3rd or 4th edition I played them using the Blood Angles Codex, when the death company was amazing!

And now I run them as Space Marines.

Armies I own (may not be assembled)
