Well County Durham is not quite the north per se but it's the most Northern latitude I've ever lived so I think it counts
I'm de-lurking at long last and as it happens it's at the end of my 10 year affair with 40k. I'm on the lookout for something new, heard warmachine is worth a look and have had fun with Malifaux (cheers Shorty if you are still on here).
Cheers,
James
