Greetings!

Hey folks, and welcome to Da Flash Gitz!
The FlashGitz are a small group of friends and GW hobby enthusiasts from the south of England; the ones who are taking part in this blog are me (pen-name MyBlueOblivion), and my best mate, who we'll call Virus. Between us all, we've got something like fifty years of hobby experience... not bad going!
The name 'The FlashGitz' was bestowed upon our little team a couple of years ago, by a staff member at our local Games Workshop (you know who you are!); the reason being that we're of that special breed of nutter that likes to turn up to painting competitions - though not Golden Daemon just yet - with models from our regular gaming armies. Which doesn't normally sound that strange... right up until we tell people that, on average, at least one of us has made it into one of the top five slots, and on several occasions one of us has gone on to win the competition.
The only really weird thing is that not one of us actually collects Orks, in either game system!
We've decided to start this blog purely for posterity's sake; it'll be a place for us to post battle reports, work-in-progress modelling and painting articles, to showcase some of the stuff we've already done, and even post some of the news we hear about the hobby. It's a way of showing the world at large what we can do... and if it serves to give other people ideas, all the better.
Thanks for reading. We should have something a bit more interesting up soon!
