@evilstu @mage @biggabum I faced Stryker in my first ever non demo game of Warmahordes back in 1.0. He basically just kept knocking all of my trolls over and I really couldn’t do anything. Sounds like his flavour remains which is good.

(1) How do you deal with a cold or flu?

Painkillers, keeping warm and keeping hydrated. Also ‘feed a cold, starve a fever’.

 

(2) Can you hobby when you feel run down? (Initially I accidentally wrote run over…)

When I had my accident a couple of years ago and broke my ribs and neck I could still wargame but sat down on a low table. I couldn’t paint or glue anything. As for with a cold my hobby room is cold so I tend to avoid it and nobody wants their lahmium medium mixed with any other fluids…

(3) Your opinion on the entertainment industry of the 1980s is…?

Of its time. My key school years were in the 80s so I was pretty much surrounded by it. I loved the cartoons we had but not the music or fashion.

(4) Name a tv show you liked when you were younger or a child

So many. So so many.

Transformers, Droids, Ghostbusters, thundercats, he-man (and she ra shh), knight knight rider, the a team, manimal, automan, airwolf, streethawk, blue thunder, Spiderman and his amazing friends, X-Men, cities of gold, dogtanion, and dragons, around the twist, terrahawks the list goes on. They really don’t make them like this anymore.

(5) What toys or tv shows influenced you, directly or not, a little or a lot into this broad hobby?

I think I discovered gaming seperate to TV. They probably led me to each other. Although I realise I used to enjoy buildings Zoids following the instruction manual. That led me to GeeDubya tanks and things for sure.
