Where it all began

So welcome to the start of my blog. First of all let me tell you a little about me and the hobby.
I first started out in the wargaming hobby back in 1994 when i bought the second edition of warhammer 40k. I used to paint and play Space Marines from the starter box and a friend of mine use to play the Orks from the box. I was in to it and played often (although probably not properly) for a few years. I then felt i had grown out of the hobby and so it all disappeared.
I moved out of home with my parents and in with my now wife a few years ago and i found some of my old paint in the move and decided to get a few models just for a bit of fun to paint. I ended up picking up a high elves battalion which i mostly got painted but looking back at it as we all do quite badly. And then again it kinda of stopped i hadn't painted or looked at anything in little over a year.
Once again (starting to sound familiar) i found my models in the loft and decided to get some more so i bought a vampire counts battalion. And it started again i was back into the hobby. I found myself looking more and more often on the games workshop website at vampire counts, a few pounds later and a bit more paint i was starting to amass an army. 
From there the hobby had taken hold and now just over two years later here i sit. So at the moment i have collected and have in various stages of being complete for Warhammer, 
     3.5k points of vampire counts,
     and a battalion box set of wood elves. 
For warhammer 40k, 
     3.2k points of Orks, 
     2k points of Necrons, 
     2k points of Daemons, 
     2.2k points of Chaos Space Marines. 
Flames of war,
     2.3k points of Germans for late war.
I have also recently bought Super Dungeon Explorer which my 7yr old daughter loves to play (and regularly beat me). 
So feel free to follow along as i continue to grow my collection, possibly starting other projects and (one of my favorite things) some terrain making.
