I collected some Napoleonic minis in my teens, but more recently have been sharing an interest in Warhammer with my son. We've painted a fair number of armies - Dark Elves, High Elves, Brettonians, Chaos, Dark Angels, Feral Orks and a bucket load of Lord of the Rings stuff.

My son loves the big beasties, so I have hours of fun grapplying with Balrogs, dragons, fellbeasts, manticores etc, supergluing my fingers together and lancing my thumb with a pin vice.

I'm half hoping we'll get into historical stuff but am a little hesistant as the painting is incredibly time consuming and frankly almost as interesting as watching the paint dry.
