Mark Hides

Ever since my introduction to the hobby in 1981 (lost now, in the mists of time but you can read about in my memoir 'Real Life's A Bu**er' - No REALLY, it's a good read.) , I have lived, breathed (and sometimes, even wept over) gaming ever since. I've spent conservatively, 30+of the last 42 years, in the wargames industry. I've managed game stores, written and had published, a successful gaming memoir and now work as a professional miniature painter and supplier of scenic materials. Satanic Panic Miniatures is the last thing on my 'wargaming bucket list' and, it's my mission to make fun, varied and affordable figures so that gamers can build the big armies in the style of those which inspired so many gamers in the 80s, without leaving their descendants destitute. I also own and operate Conflict In Colour, a bespoke miniature painting service, launched in 2011.
