Alright, lets start this off like any good web page. My name is Brock Eckstein. I have been doing this kind of gaming since the Hero Quest days! (And yes I still have hero's quest........) I really got started though with the great game of Blood Bowl. My grandma got me a 50 dollar gift certificate to a hobby store, saw the game and decided why not? So me and a couple of friends start playing it, and get hooked. We noticed Warhammer for the first time when we got one of those little business card sized fold down broucher's. After seeing the prices for the stuff, we said no way! We will stick to BB. But, I could not resist, and my very first purchase was a box of 8 woodelf archers. The madness started there. With the woodelves, I bought the Warhammer box set, (way back in the day when highelves and goblins came in it). My friend, he started in on dwarf's, why I will never know, I don't think he has ever won a game up until this day. After that, we got another friend hooked on Bretonians. So now there was three. But hey, I could not be happy with just one army, so I collected from all! How we would play is everyone would just throw all their model's into the middle, and everyone would pick one at a time, kinda like picking for dodgeball, and of course the dwarfs were always last pick. Sometimes armies consisted of Orian, the Empire War Wagon, and a unit of Chaos Warriors, plus many other mix and match guys. Then a friend came along, that actually read the rules for everything, and got us set on the right track, starting with the Thorskins Island Campaign, in which I will always claim my wood elf army of nothing but archers was by far the best in the wars! They also proved how useful a fallen treeman can be against an over-confident Bretonian knight! From then on we did all sorts of cool stuff, Blood Bowl leagues, Warhammer Quest, we even got into 40k. After highschool though, we all went our seperate ways, me joining the army. I got a couple games while I was deployed to Korea, but I kinda sputtered out after that. Well, when I got back, and got intouch with good friends again, I was hooked once again. And yes, I am that guy on Jordan's page that always had the non-painted guys. Now, that will change. I have cut down on the size of armies, and I will field fully painted armies now, either by me painting, or someone else! On my page, I will show pic's of my armies, and give a list of what I have to fight with. If you live in the Colorado Springs area, give me a message, I am always looking for a game!
