Sawtooth Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Born '81, found the hobby at a very young age. In a weird way Warhammer has been an old companion for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth_Hobo Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I'm 33 and my first ever Warhammer purchase was plastic Khorne Berzerkers box back in 1998 (I think). Funny to think that Berzerkers are still that same kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venerable Jazzman Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 51 (I'm 3 weeks younger than Sergeant Pepper, and 3 months older than The Jungle Book - 1967 was great) Been gaming since high school, all sorts of systems over the years - think we started with home brew rules for 1:72 Airfix tanks, then moved on to Panzer Leader* thinking it would be similar. Oh were we wrong... https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2639/panzer-leader First GW game was Judge Dredd RPG about '85-86 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge_Dredd:_The_Role-Playing_Game (still haven't painted all the figures ), as I've read 2000AD since it came out in '77. Never really did Space Marines until 3ed came out, when I bought a couple of boxes of RTB01 and painted them red. And here I am now * it may not have been exactly Panzer Leader, but it was some hex and tile affair - thought it was Panzer Grenadier, but that came out in 2000 and it was way before then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakkomaster Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Let's see, it's 2018, I was born in '81 so... I'm still 36, going to be 37 in a couple of months. Err, at least I think so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brother_b Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I didn't mention that I'm 46. I've got to see the development of nerd culture; both online and through gaming. I got to play late 70s early 80s d and d. I own the first warhammer, rogue trader, and WHFRPG, among many others. It's nice being in the hobby now; the rules are better, the models are better, and the community has expanded and is more accepted. I'm enjoying introducing my children to the joys of the hobby.

Me too, I bought my first issue of WD back in January 1996, at the age of 13. I feel older than my years due to poor health and my eye sight ain't what it used to be, just sat down for my first modelling session since emperor knows when, and got so frustrated by simply removing mold lines from some tac marine bits I had sitting in a container after clipping them off the sprue Months ago. Looks like its off to the optometrist in the near future for updated glasses. Any of our more venerable members got any tips for dealing with not being able to see properly? I've got a 8× magnification desk lamp, which helps, but things are still a little blurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormelyKnownAsSmashyPants Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 40 with the body of a fat 70 year old. Same, got a bad knee, I've been putting off going to the audiologist for hearing aids as my workmates are getting sick of may saying pardon, what was that you just said and can you repeat that please, and just booked an appointment for the optometrist Lungs of an 80 year old coal miner from the pack and half I smoke each day and I'm four years your junior too, if could go back back twenty years I'd slap myself upside the head for the life style choices I was beginning to make, lol, but 16 year olds aren't the most rational of people, so it probably wouldn't have made a difference. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
