I have started this posting so many times I have lost count. I feel that currently I am walking through a mine field of distractions that keep me from not only posting but the hobby as well. I know that finding time sometimes is just setting time and sticking to it. Maybe it is that I feel a little lost in the hobby at the moment as I am starting a new army. Maybe it’s just the Christmas blues or the feel of the strain of being the only income earner for the family.
Tired and burnt out and yet the amber light of thoughts for the hobby still does burn. The thoughts of where my new army of Chaos Marines will go and how I want to build it not knowing really where it will end up. I even have the next army after my Chaos Marines planning in the back of my head and I think about a Space Marine Company for a created chapter The Knights of the Emperor.
Arrr.. A quick post as I have to go back to work.
Lets see how I do!

The Future
Another day at work and another day where the hobby seems so far away, this seems so much the recurring theme of my life.
My son turns 3 in February next year and I keep asking myself what age do I introduce him to the hobby to see if it’s going to be an interest of his. But i know that he already has been as even now he has an interest in my figures and dice to the point where I had to teach him to roll dice not lob them across the room. He currently now I think about it has his own dice, a hand full of Space Wolves and a tape. I will admit I am a mix of hope and horror when you ask him what army he wants and all he says is he wants Brums. Brums, the little man wants an army of Armour to the point I wonder firstly does this mean a Mech IG, Eldar or even Space Marine army and how much is it going to cost his old dad. Well I am guessing time will tell, his English will improve and the whole truth will come out.
Maybe it’s the hope that with my son wanting to hobby with his dad I will get more time for what I love to do and the fun part of getting more games in as well. Maybe it’s a deep hope that as my son gets older he will find me at least interesting and want to spend the time with me he does now. Parenthood changes you in so many ways.
Let’s see how we go!
