I am a Sheffield based hobbiest and photographer. I got back into the hobby after leaving University, now funded by a real job! My favourite parts of t he hobby are painting and photography so I collect a bit of everything from Rivendell Elves to Adeptus Titanicus.

Its hard to keep up with the number of new releases now! I managed to get one of the free Miniature of the Month, and thought I would paint it up as a Cadian 122nd from Codex Cityfight! I’m Tom, and welcome to another Oldhammer inspired showcase!
