Got Into Eden: Same as Adam (Kogan Style) above me. I'm the other one who had been checking out Eden and the Taban range for a while. I have to admit that we were also really tempted by the Sphere Wars stand at Salute but Eden won out as the setting seemed more fun and we were all instantly drawn to separate factions in Eden rather than having to fight over the one.

What Is your use of miniature (painting, gaming)? A bit of all three I think. I used to be way more into converting and sculpting than painting and didn't play any tabletop games at all but since I've been in a gaming group with Adam I've found myself wanting to finish my models as soon as possible (though it still takes a painfully long time) to get them ready for gaming.

History: I used to convert, sculpt and paint models for the sake of it, generally one off pieces or small gangs and generally being drawn towards the expanded 40k universe and Mordheim. I also started playing D&D at uni and made models to represent my characters. Over the last couple of years I've been playing tabletop skirmish games more and more and with my gaming group I've played and collected Malifaux (Hamelin, Hoffman and Collodi crews) and then Infinity (Japanese Sectorial Army) and now Eden.

Chosen faction: I'm the guy who picked up Clan Bamaka. I was also tempted by the resistance but after painting Infinity for a while I wanted something grimy (plus I couldn't resist the lure of the pygmies).
