My name is Ben im a miniature painter and tech enthusiast from Germany.
I started my Warhammer journey at the end of the 90´s and ended it finally by selling all my minis in 2010. In this whole time period i never did any serios stuff. Just painted a few minis in the first couple of months. Then other hobbys got more and more back in the focus and i finally sold all my minis in 2010 after almost 8 years stored in my basement.
As the Years passed other hobbys got lesser intressted MMO´s consumed half of my young adult time and i started a career in the tech industry…
Which brings me to a to turning point in my life as the COVID-19 pandemic started. Banished from our office location to full home office work i sticked the first couple of moths to my daily routines.
- Get up at 7 a.m.
- Work until 4~5 p.m.
- Login into MMO Account 5 p.m.
- Go to sleep 11 p.m.
After a couple of months i realized that i need lesser time on my computer. There was anyways this strange feeling in the last years that i miss something in my non working hours that is a non digital activity. But addicted to fantasy lore and scifi stuff it took a long time to finally realize that i allready had a hobby what would fill the gap i’ll leave by quit computer games.
And here i am back in the Warhammer hobby after almost 2 decades without touching a mini!
What motivated me to start this site ?
The community has grown and knowledge can be easy transfered all over the world. With my content i want to share failures, misstakes and success in the whole discovery process of the miniature painting and so be a part of this knowledge sharing network that has grown in the years of my absence!

Love to all the miniature painters out there! ❤❤❤❤❤
