I'm an avid war gamer. I specifically play a table top war game called Warhammer 40,000, which is a sci-fi game set in the distant future. (The 41st millennium to be exact)

This is pretty much my major hobby, next to playing my xbox 360, and interpreting the 1820's to visitors of Fort Atkinson State Historical Park.

Anyway, the picture above (or below? I'm new to this...) is of a diorama I made for a friend. It features an Imperial Guardsman, the straight average joe in the game, having to face the tough choice of whether to confront a mob of one of the Imperium's most prevalent enemies, the orks, or turn and run, only to be shot by his own regiment's commissar, who's job it is to ensure that not a single warrior of the Emperor shows cowardice.

Well that's a pretty good synopsis. I assembled and painted the models myself and I've always been quite proud of it.

I wasn't sure which blog was yours...'til I saw the title of this one! All the Flickr pics are down right now...so I can't see your pic (and mine on my blog is gone, too...grrr) but I already know what fine craftsmanship you are capable of.
