FUN Fact: I do commission painting under @BatchPainting on Instagram
Play Style: Kill stuff, cause it’s fun. A dead model can’t score points.
Bio: I have been artistic and into fantasy and sci-fi my whole life. Around 2015 I started playing dungeons and dragons, then eventually became the primary dungeon master for my group. I loved the idea of running games with miniatures and rolling a lot of dice, but was never satisfied with the miniatures that were available for dnd specifically. Stumbled into Top Deck and saw Warhammer models for the first time. They were amazing, all painted up in glass display cabinets. I was hooked instantly.

Nickname: Vinnie
Primary 40K army: Space Wolves
Also plays in 40K: Chaos Space Marines and Astra Militarum
Play Style: Pretty big mix between close combat and mid-range.
Fun Fact: Im having Twins!
Bio: I’m Vinnie! Currently been taking a hiatus from table top games, due to family reasons, but I’ve been playing for about 8 years now and still have a lot to learn. I own about 6 armies and my newest addition is Emperor’s Children. I am by no means an advanced player with only about 3-4 wins under my belt, but I enjoy playing! I play as free time comes along. I also 3D print most of my miniatures and love using unique proxies for my armies. When I’m not playing, I use that time to experiment with different list themes and play styles. For non table top games I’m usually playing video games on my PC and/or PS5. I enjoy JRPGs, open world RPGs, strategy, world building games, and the occasional FPS. I’m also a huge movie/TV buff. My favorite genres are SYFY/fantasy, anime, psychological, and comedy. I plan to re-enter the world of 40k very soon.
Martin Cripps
Nickname: Morten
Primary 40K army: Tau? (Kroot!)
Also plays: Chaos daemons (Khorne only)
Fun Fact: I play Flesh-eater Courts and Kroot, I guess my theme is eating corpses.
Play Style: “Wait. Hold up. What was that rule again? Oh shoot, I forgot about that ability.”
Bio: I got into warhammer with Age of Sigmar during the pandemic. Then Tactical Withdrawal was formed and I’ve been slowly sinking into 40k. I’ve had a few false starts with Salamanders and the Genestealers but I think I’ve found my army in Tau, mostly playing Kroot. I’ve entered into a few AoS tournaments but haven’t done any 40k ones yet. I’m mostly a vibes based player and that doesn’t do too well in a serious competition.

On the tabletop I try to improve my skill every game and more importantly walk away having a great experience. CADIA STANDS!
