WILL
Will is a self-professed hobby butterfly,
flitting from project to project;
never truly finishing one before another
catches his eye. (though does
anyone ever finish projects in this
hobby).
Introduced to Warhammer Fantasy
Battles about 17 years ago, he was
caught up in the stories and characters
and the ability to represent
them on a table. Since then he’s
played pretty predominantly Games
Workshop produced games and
has collected many, many forces
of varying sizes, most of which sit
unpainted on a shelf. Happy to play
anything his favourite is definitely
Mordheim, so many amazing moments
and memories. The highlight
is when playing “The Lost Prince” a
vampire made it to the top of the
tower where the young princeling
was hiding, surrounded by enemies
and with no way out, the two leapt
from the tallest balcony (approximately
15” high). With the princeling
broken and dead at his feet the
bewildered vampire fled the scene,
cursing the frailties of men. Mordheim
is the one game where winning
and losing is irrelevant since
you still get to play strategic games,
but ones with such a high element
of storytelling.
Will’s main inspiration in the hobby,
and favourite area of it is in converting
and building models. Finding a
cool element of a story or character
and creating a new army around
that theme. He likes to restrict himself
to certain elements of a faction
and drill down into that visual aesthetic
to create a warband or army
with a lot of character to it. Some of
his favourites include his Arabyan
Ogre Kingdoms army, Slaaneshi Pit
Fighter warband, Dark Elf Corsair
fleet – which includes a converted
Dreadfleet ship, and his very WIP
Space Ork army that has pillaged a
museum (pirates, cowboys, gangsters
and egyptians). But his absolute
favourite army is his next army.
Will isn’t really a ‘gamer’ as such, he
really enjoys playing the game, but
more for the opportunity to create
amazing/fun moments on the tabletop.
Due to the nature of converting,
his armies are always a little bit
of a struggle to play with, but much
fun is had regardless.
