Fury is the one that comes into everything swinging strong. He is renowned for making some bold claims about his painting speed and hobby greatness. But before we get to the mighty claims, a little background on the man.

The Fury origin story begins in the year 1993. Fury busted his knee riding skateboards (way less cooler than it sounds) and the original Rogue Trader Marine box was out in the shops. This became Fury’s journey into the hobby and his summer holiday salvation while he was stuck inside. Much like these days, being stuck inside seems to motivate him to paint. He still owns those original Space Marines. Unfortunately, he painted them as Space Wolves. Fury kept them in a box deep within his hoard for many years. Then, a couple of years ago he decided to give them some love and a touch up like they deserved. Unfortunately still Space Wolves though.

Two years later and the young Fury was working for Games Workshop as a shop assistant. Making a huge $250 a week cash to spend on miniatures, with a 50% staff discount, meant that his armies grew quickly. So quickly that he is still trying to find time to put paint on some of those old 40k miniatures. Currently, his hoard of models sits in his dark man cave waiting for him to find time to paint them all.

“My average is most people’s awesome.”

Fury has made some big claims. He claims to have won an Australian Golden Demon back in the ’90s. When Australia only had about three Games Workshop stores. We asked to see the evidence but Fury informed us it was before Australia got trophies. Apparently, all he got was a certificate. Naturally, we asked for a picture of the certificate to share with you all. But it has conveniently gone missing at the moment. We will let you be the judge of this claim. If anyone reading this can back Fury up with some evidence though he would love to hear from you on Twitter or Instagram.

Despite a couple of rather large unsubstantiated claims about his painting skills, Fury has achieved a lot in the hobby that we do actually have evidence of. He created a local wargaming club called Newcastle Legions. He was involved in the Podhammer podcast, so you may have met him at Adepticon with that. But Fury is probably most well known for the massive tournaments and events he runs that usually revolve around drinking and having fun alongside the games themselves.

Fury brings the speed painting and nostalgia to the Inquisitor’s retinue.
