Hey all, today I thought I’d show the Forge World Chaos Renegade Militia Command group that I painted up about five years ago.
Before then I had not painted a single model for a good ten years. I had always been passionate about painting models from an early age up until my late teens and then stopped due to studies and other things that young adults pursue. When I got back into the hobby a lot of things had changed including paints,models and rules.I was quite in awe to begin with and had also forgotten how to paint, so I picked up one of the Citadel painting manuals and got learning again. I think its strange how you can be really into a hobby, then drop it for many years and then return to it fresh again. I’m quite fond of the models above, but in some ways would like to try my hand at them again. Have any of you guys been out of the hobby for many years and then come back into it again?

Wow. Really beautiful. impression of decay and dilapidation is great. Beautiful work with an excellent atmosphere of the final look.
Yep, I have started and stopped the hobby twice in the past twenty years. Most recently starting again about three years ago. I paint quite a bit these days but havent had a chance to play 40k since around 2005 or so. Though I do manage to get in lighter miniatures games like The Hobbit or X Wing. My World Eaters army has miniatures that spans all editions. Last night I just finished painting a pair that was released around first or second edition.
