Last year, I graduated college and moved from the East Coast to the West. As a way to stay in contact, my friend and I decided to start a blog to show each other our current WIPs. I'll be starting by putting up a few pictures of my previous models before getting to my current works, but this is a quick primer on my hobby history.
In high school, he and I entered the hobby together. I picked up tyranids, and he chose Imperial Guard. I had semi-played with a few models/books for a couple of years, but this was the first time I really started an army. We painted them up and led them to battle on basement floors and dining room tables. After a while, we entered a tournament at the local store. We expanded our armies, played more, and had a pretty good player base.
After playing with my tyranids for a while, I got tired of having no tanks and no heroes. While contemplating a change, 5th edition came out, and I decided to make the jump to a new army. I already had marines from Battle for Macragge, and with AoBR I decided to go with a tyranid hunter themed Ultramarines army. I've collected a lot of models, but have plenty to build and paint up. A few months after, we also got into a little bit of Warmachine. I started up Cygnar. Even though it's been a couple years, I've only managed to paint one squad of tactical marines and one warjack (real life and playing just gets in the way!). Well, I've resolved to be better in painting, and I've been holding myself to it.
So that's kind of a primer on my hobby status. tl;dr I've played a lot, I'm painting more now, and documenting the growth of my armies.
