Name: Bil (that IS spelt correctly)
Location: Stone (in Kent England)
Age: 37 (born in '73)
Occupation: I used to make drugs, but now I pack sugar
Personality: Hmmm easy going, but can be sarcastic at times. I Hate to admit when I'm wrong. Hate being late for stuff, and would like people to think that I am reliable. Complete leadophile
I am crap at spelling, but its not my fault is genitic....my dad couldnt spell either!
Interests: Wide and varied...I am in a re-enactment group for the war of the roses period (roughly 1455 - 1485) and I am head of a household so I am a unit commander and help to organise arount 50 odd people (or 50 ODD people if you like lol).
I still like the 80's thrash metel and the modern simmilar stuff and I lothe the new poppunk, (jesus go and listen to some REAL punk and then try to compair) basicly if it has a guitar and goes 100 mph then chances are I'll like it !
I read a lot and dont get the chance to cyber slack as much as used to.
I enjoy warhammer rp as well as fb but I dont get anywhere near enough games to satisfy my craving as I just dont know enough people who game anymore.
I find history fasinating and am a strong believer of the saying "to know where you are going you must know where you have come from"
I like Dwarves, I like the fact they are gruff,masters at construction and crafting, good fighters, strong, respect history and wisdom, reliable, and that in most modern games that use them they are of a "biker" type. Oh and slayers.
Favorite sport Ha! sport is dumb, but running round in armour and hitting people? thats something I can relate to.
Favorite drink: Black Russian - vodka tia maria (or kahalua) and coke MMMMmmmm
Favourite movie: Hmm other than the three rings films (they must count as one as its the same story) I'd say Man bites dog as its sooo funny, but I like the Rob zombie films too, and really enjoyed Remo unarmed and dangerious , man that should have been a series. oh sorry thats definatly more than one so I'd better stop.
Favourite Tv show: Father Ted was a classic
Favourite band or musician: Rob Zombie he has a unique style and kicks ass what ever he does.
Favourite genre of music: 80's thrash metel
Favourite writer: Terry Pratchett, the man is a genius!
Favourite cartoon character: Casy jones

Bio:Lived in England (kent) all my life but have travelled to France,Spain,Germany,Italy,Switzerland,Belgum,the Check replublic and Austrailia (NSW).
I used to work for GW, whilst buying as many figures as possible (I once did a loose lead order of £600 when it was £15 a kilo hence the huge armys). I quit when I realised just how much it actually costs for then to make the minis/games and we all know how much they charge!
Started in the reenactmrnt scene around '98 and havent looked back since as I have met some of the nicest people you can imagine.You get to go camping at some of our nations greatest national monuments or sites, meet and greet all sorts of people and you get to make new friends (and hit them) as well as have a great social life, it's a bit like being in a secret society (masons?) as if you need some advice or some work doing chances are that you will either know someone in the group or they will know someone that can help you.
I am loving the vibe from Mantic as it remindes me of the old GW when I was a young'un , all fun and for the hobby. They have great minis and a great ethos and I want only to see them do well. Discovered them only this year in Feb but have bought lots of bits which have either added to my lead (& plastic) pile or are armies in their own right. I am generally looking forward to the future to see what it will bring.
Oh and I was photographed at the openday this year buying a sausage roll
