Thurston 'Ratboy' Hillman
Having been involved in the local gaming scene for over 10 years now, Thurston has experience in almost every type of game imaginable. Starting off as a wee lad playing Magic The Gathering, Thurston eventually joined a league of Battletech which got him in contact with his now partner in crime Alex. From Battletech Thurston eventually started playing Warhammer 40k and continued doing so for several years, eventually moving on to play Warhammer Fantasy and later his true love in life; Warmachine.
Being no stranger to the event & tournament scene, Thurston has run gaming events at most local conventions as well as assisted in local tabletop gaming tournaments. Co-Running the highly successful n00b-con; a 40k tournament dedicated to teaching newer players, Thurston eventually moved on to assist in running the final year of the well known local tournament Warcon.
The nickname of 'Ratboy' originated from his choice of Skaven as his original Warhammer Fantasy army, and even though the army no longer exists, the moniker has stuck with him. When not playing World of Warcraft, Thurston can either be found running a role-playing game of some sort, playing a board game, painting miniatures, or trying to convince his friends to get into some new game he found!
