Description*:Hi, my name is Wim. I live in the Flanders, Belgium. I've been a fantasy-sci fi fanboy for a long time. My first encounter would be the Star Wars movies, which my dad used to watch with me. Later, my nephew introduced me to Hero Quest - probably the start of many a gamer's career. He had made a Hero Quest "campaign" based on the story of Lord of the Rings, which at that point, was unknown to me. I immediately was fascinated by the game and the story line and every time I was at his place, I wanted to play Hero Quest. When we finished the campaign, he gave me the book "The Lord of the Rings", which I devoured with much enthusiasm.

From that moment on, the fantasy-bug stayed. There was only one problem: I wanted my own copy of Hero Quest! But by then, it was not available anymore. Until one day, in 2000, a guy from my class recognized a doodle I made during the day. "Hey, that looks just like the orcs in Hero Quest" he said. We became friends immediately. He told me about a store where he bought his copy. The moment I ran out of the school, I told my mum we had to go to that store. Sadly, they didn't sell Hero Quest anymore either, but they had something called "Warhammer". You guessed it, I was sold.

Ever since that day, I have been semi-obsessed (my wife would say "totally obsessed") with Warhammer and everything related. I started collecting Lizardmen at first. But all of my friends played Warhammer 40k, so it didn't last long until I started a Tyranid army - which is still my favourite army. Over the years, I started other armies as well: my gaming room is decorated with Word Bearers, Iron Warriors, Genestealer Cult and Chaos Daemons.

As I said before, it all started thanks to a doodle I made in class. That's another hobby of mine: drawing. Ever since I could hold a pencil, I was drawing. When I was little, it was all I did. All my school books were full of doodles and drawings. My friends kept encouraging me to start my own comics, but I always delayed it. But, in June 2011, I decided to get started and the result was: Wobbly Model Syndrome.

I wanted to make a simple, clean comic about the hobby which takes up a large portion of our lives. Funny, light scripts with easily recognizable characters. I wanted to make the jokes about the fluff, not the game system. I think there is too much game system dissing already, and to be honest: We may dislike some rules and/or changes they make, but in the end, we still love the game and its background.

So, I hope I can keep on captivating you with the comics, and I hope they will always (at least) put a grin upon your face!
