So for those who don’t know me I am Dave “Scorpius_GLC” Barfield, I have been suffering with severe Depression and Anxiety Issues for many years, I am also a hobbyist who loves buying, building painting & playing with Toy Soldiers!!!
I have found that through the dark times of my Mental Illness a good support network REALLY helps! For most this will be close family and friends…..for me this is also true, I have a VERY loving & supportive family, but I have a larger family than most…..I am of course talking of my Wargaming friends with whom I feel so comfortable that they are really just like Brothers and Sisters from another Mother & Father…This is my Hobby Family…..and the best thing is…..they really get me! They understand when I talk about my love of Orcs, Giants, Dragons, Wizards & Super-human Soldiers battling it out in a darkly gothic settings, that I am not mad, I am into Warhammer! I have also found that the “Hobby” of Wargaming is a great tool to battling Depression and as such me and a friend are doing a year long project of building an army leading up to us getting out and playing a game!
My fellow Wargamer is Andy of Bears Wargaming, someone who has also suffered from the Mental Illness, and the game/miniature setting we have chosen is Warlord Games’ Historical Game – Hail Caesar!
So Andy will be doing Romans and I will be doing Dacians & Sarmatians. With some models bought and donated we have set about building and painting our first models for our first unit.
Andy has built and pretty much painted a full formation ready for the battlefield (see below). This has me worried as I have painted 1 test model in the same time :/
