If you could command any Warhammer faction in real life, which would it be and why? 

 It would have to be the Astra Militarum, they have always been my favourite and there is something endearing about leading an army of normal humans in a galaxy of superhumans and demons from super hell.

 

What’s your most epic tabletop victory or crushing defeat? 

That is a hard one, I’ve had some pretty stupendous wins and soul-crushing defeats over 16 years, I'd say my biggest win and most crushing lose occur in the same game strangely enough, it was 2018 when I had my then unnamed commander of my collection Comisario defeat 755 points of Tau over 6 turns enduring all their shooting each turn, however on the final turn he got beat up by a tau commander in melee which was just such a fantastic yet crazy end to that game especially considering my Comisario took literally 0 damage until then, 55 points defeated 755 on his own. 

 

If your life were narrated by a Warhammer character, who would it be? 

Ciaphas Cain just because I love his attitude in every one of his books and how funny he is as a character. 

 

What’s the weirdest or funniest name you’ve ever given a miniature or army? 

It is probably the previously mentioned Comisario as that joke came from my biology teacher in high school who joked about a Spanish Commissar called Comisario and the name just stuck, that or the Spanish translation of Lord Skorpekh which is Senor Skorpekh which I just find really funny.

 

Would you rather paint 100 minis in one weekend or play a 12-hour apocalypse game with no snacks? 

Defitnitely the apocalypse game since I always enjoyed the game a bit more than the hobby and I really like seeing my little dudes marching across the board.

 

What's your favourite board game or video game, and what makes it so enjoyable for you? 

 It has to Team Fortress 2, I’ve played for 11 years now, and I still love playing it and learning new skills and techniques to use, that endless journey of self-improvement is something I really enjoy alongside the over gameplay and vibes of the game. 

 

If you could have a dinner party with any three celebrities, who would you invite and why?  

I only need one celebrity and that is Henry Cavill because I need to become friends with him just so my dad can stop talking about how he is friends with him, no this doesn’t bug me at all. 

 

If you could have any animal as a pet, regardless of practicality or legality, what would you choose and why?  

A Panther, I love cats so a big one would be awesome.
