I have a few... Ministry, Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails, Limp Bizkit, Linkn Park... I think you get the general picture from that.

A little extra:
I mostly paint the figures, not play very much. I'd like to occasionally win though, hence I'm here, LURKING and learning from the more veteran players (battle-hardened, not necessarily old!!).
You can PM if you wish...I don't mind... you might even get a response
