Me.

Played lots of that other FF game back in the day (before it became a Specialist Game). The group and I play a lot of Warmachine and Hordes. Really like what I'm seeing with Elfball, and hoping to get some interest roused up around here.

Live in the Indianapolis area (Lebanon now, Noblesville after Labor Day). Like cats, and dogs, and Daleks. I don't have a pet dog, yet. Getting old and cranky in my old age, but still alive enough to roll some dice and move little plastic and/or pewter toy soldiers around a table a couple times a week.

Hordes and WarMachhine!! There's 2 games I'd like to learn to play. If I get back to GenCon next year I've got to get a demo from the Privateer guys. Try Grind with your WarMachine minis. Another fantasy sports game I want to learn. Too little time and money, too many games.

Welcome to Impact!.

Now I wanna go even more!

Warmachine appeals to me more than Hordes, just because of the style.

Hullo.

I'm from the sticks in Northern Ireland. I'm a zoology graduate, currently wondering if a slowly emerging miniature sculptor can pay off a student loan. I've been in the gaming hobby (mostly Grandma Wendy, if that means what I think it means) for over ten years, IIRC, though I've only actually 'gamed' properly in the last couple of months. I got my first taste of FF last night and I'm sold.

First of all, welcome to the forum! This is a great and friendly forum, despite my omni-presence.

Have you tried Elfball or just Bl00d B0wl?

I would recommend Elfball, it's a better game IMO but each one has their own merits.

Vermis, you might want to contact BrownRob, as I believe he's also in NI (but no idea on how local he is to you).

Hi,

I'm Ant and I'm studying at St. Andrews university at the moment in Scotland. Been playing FF for around 1 and a half years. Before that I have a background in other table top skirmish games and some role-playing. I'm just beginning to get good at painting and have even tried my hand at sculpting. It's alot harder than I anticipated

Those guys deserve alot more credit. I would be interested in doing more of this but I need alot more practice I fear.

I love Impact miniatures and also the attitude of the people involved. Keep up the good work

I suppose I'd better do one of these lol

My gaming history is a bit of a story. I started out with book based rpg's, then a short dip into d&d and similar systems. I wanted to try historical wargaming, but it was dominated by old guys who didn't want a kid hanging around, so granny wendy was the only option.

After years of playing granny games I've managed to get myself banned from two of her shops for "Flagrant disregard of a game system". All I did was redesign the rules to granny's orc based spin off game to be a bit more chaotic and a whole steaming heap more fun.

Eventually I moved onto FF, but again the whole setup never sat quite right, and then I found elfball. Elfball makes sense, elfball works.

I'd like to get back into rpg's and brainwash...er i mean introduce some people to elfball so i can get some games.

the Dice Gods hate me. To give an example, the first time I played Elfball I got to roll 5 dice....all flops. When you play against me you WILL win, but boy will it be fun.

I'm new here, not played elfball but a fan of FF in general.
I'm a professional modelmaker and sculptor and have just begun my conquest of 28mmish miniatures.
Been playing wargames for many years, started with Space Crusade and Epic and have progressed through far too many to name, but still an avid 6mm player.
so, Hello!
