About Me

My photo
PsychosisPC
I've been involved in the hobby of war gaming now for approximately 20 years. I was the GW 2008 Chicago GT Best Appearance winner in Fantasy, and have collected a number of Rogue Demon awards over the years at Adepticon from their painting contests. Mike Butcher and I were the winners of 2012 Adepticon WAB Team event. My primary interest lies in the modeling of the miniatures. I love cool looking armies and miniatures and terrain. And I also occassionally throw down the dice. So if you like conversions and paint like I do, that is what you will get here. From Warhammer Fantasy to 40k to Historicals.
