Ben Cone, or better known as Conesy, started out gaming with Dungeons and Dragons when he was 12. After a dabble with Magic the Gathering, he broke into miniature gaming. When the local True Value Hardware store decided to stock the Games-Workshop product line he dived into Warhammer. Forever, that decision would dominate his destiny. Now with an extensive miniature collection that includes Warhammer Fantasy, Warhammer 40k, Blood Bowl, Battlefleet Gothic, Mordhiem, Flames of War, Bolt Action, Batman Miniature Game, Marvel: Crisis Protocol, Malifaux, and many others there may be no end to his miniature collecting madness!
