My Venture into MCP

To be honest, I got some miniatures painted up and ready to go but I forgot to take pictures of them. For now, here’s some WIP pictures of the terrain tiles I’m working on.

I’m not exactly a stranger to the hobby. I just haven’t jumped into the pool quite just yet. Since I could remember, I’ve always been interested in miniature wargaming since the first time I walked through a Games Workshop store as a kid and saw the demo tables they had for 40K and Lord of the Rings. I wish I still had the Uruk-hai model the employee gave me as a souvenir but a lot has happened in the 20 or so years since then.

Since then, I’ve always teetered back and forth between joining the “40K Club” since that was the only game I was exposed to regularly. Between the after-school crew who played at one guy’s basement all the way to the 40k League I spectated in college, it’s always been something I wanted to do but had neither the finances (always hearing the jokes about needing to take out a loan for an army) nor the time to prime/paint/play regularly. That’s what eventually led me to my first dive into miniatures: HeroClix.

Being that they were pre-painted, HeroClix was great because it was based on the comics I loved as a kid and setting up a game was as simple as bringing a box with a paper map around. As I continued to play regularly at my FLGS, my “hobbyist” mindset started coming back as I tried making 3D maps and objects to make the board look a little better. Inevitably though, the game locally fizzled out until it was only myself and one other person playing. I switched gears to start playing more card games starting with the Dragon Ball Super Card Game (now known as DBSCG Masters) and I only ever dabbled into miniature gaming since.

It’s only recently that I’ve gotten the drive to jump into miniature gaming rather than miniature painting (primarily thanks to a new resin printer I was gifted for Christmas). I’ve got a buddy coming back to the states who’s been particularly picky about the games we play (they only like playing with licenses that they enjoy like DBZ or Marvel Comics). They don’t come back until mid-April so we still have a couple of weeks to get everything set up for play. Hopefully everything pans out well but regardless, I’ll be posting the progress here for y’all to see and potentially provide advice for.
