Hobby in the warp, what's the deal?

Hello everyone mad enough to read this! My names Aaron Wilson, I'm 27 from Harlow and I have a huge passion for tabletop gaming. I've been playing tabletop games since I was 11, walking past a local gaming store and seeing some space wolves fighting tyranids. I was instantly hooked and new I needed more of it in my life.

Going on from there I got my first kits and well the rest is history! I've played every game I can think of along the line, starting with Warhammer 40K, progressing to WFB, then Warmachine & Hordes, Bloodbowl, Malifaux, Bushido and well the list just continues. I have tried a looooooooooooot of games and throughout my journey and the games I currently play are Age of Sigmar, Guildball, Horus Heresy, MESBG & Warhammer 40k.

In regard to my own pedigree I don't have a huge amount to boast about. However, I was lucky enough to be the captain for Team England at the 2018 World Team Championship for Guildball. Apart from that I'd like to think I'm a competent tabletop gamer, drawing on a wealth of experience and tactical acumen in each game. 

I'm certainly a player of the game, more than anything else. I enjoy making models, I'm learning to enjoy painting, I absolutely love playing. I love the player decision it brings, I love the social aspect of going out to meet new people, I love list discussion. What I'm getting at is, I love this hobby! It's really a huge passion of mine and I'd nothing more than to talk about it all day every day.

Which brings me nicely onto why I created this blog, you may ask why? Which is a valid question and I don't think I really have a conclusive answer for you. I love this hobby, building, modelling, painting, list discussion, playing, events, meeting new people & making memories.  I would absolutely love one day to work in the tabletop environment be it social media, marketing, etc etc. I don't think this blog will bring that but it's a way of getting myself out there and hopefully showcasing some of my passion and love for the hobby as well as potential writing / social media skills. 

I don't have a structured plan for the blog as it will cover well... everything and anything hobby. My own modelling, building, painting, unit breakdowns, list discussion, battle reports and about anything else you can think hobby related.

I have a lot of events lined up, as well as a fair few one dayers for AoS, Guildball & MESBG I have SCGT, Heat 3, LGT, War in the heartlands & GG Masters coming up. All awesome opportunities for me to cover them for the blog, provide some list discussion, unit breakdowns and battle reports! 

A massive thank you to anyone who has taken the time to read this today. I really hope this is the start of a great journey for me and I'm not sure where it plans to end. Until next time gang.
