I started collecting and gaming many years ago with 2nd edition 40k with my favourite ever codex - Angels of Death. Since then, I've run both a Dark Angel and Blood Angel army in every edition since. I've also dabbled in Grey Knights, SOB's, Imperial Guard amongst others. I've also played Necromunda, Battlefleet Gothic and Inquisitor at one stage or another.
Over recent years, I've become more interested in historical wargaming. I've collected an Early Imperial Roman army for Hail Caesar due to my interest in Roman military history. The first 250 years of the 1st millennium AD are some of the most interesting and bloodthirsty times in history. This is where my interest in Arena Rex really started - I was looking for a great looking and interesting gladiatorial combat game.
I've also started collecting 2 forces for Bolt Action - a force of British Commandos backed up by some SAS and some Home Guard and a Soviet force based around the defenders of Stalingrad with the best medium sized tank of WW2 - the T-34/85.
These days, I mainly collect and paint for enjoyment and can't remember the last time I actually gamed. I hope to change this by introducing a few other people to Arena Rex
