Hey 👋 - I work in IT, currently Cloud and DevOps after years as a DBA, with dreams of Indie game development.
In my spare time I chase two crazy kids, game on anything and everything, and dabble in miniature painting 🧐

It’s been a busy three months but I’ve turned my pile of potential and half finished projects into a 2000pt army - Cut plenty of corners but you don’t notice them as much when they’re all together!
Next we’ll see if this dice rolling business is all it’s cracked up to be 😁
