Anyone here construct/paint/collect pewter/plastic tabletop miniatures, namely Warhammer and Warhammer 40k? I've been in and out of it throughout the years, but recently I've been constructing a (WH40k) Tau "killteam" which is turning out badass. I don't even play the actual warhammer game with an opponent (though I used to).The true joy for me is all the custom conversions my roomate and I make, and also the feeling of pride after a finishing a nicely painted miniature. I'll post some pictures here eventually if I can upgrade my account again, assuming that someone here shows any interest. =P by the way, yes I know I am a nerd. |

Posting some pictures is a good idea to help the ignorant people like me to understand what the warhammers and tabletop miniatures are. .. i may try searching the interntet for the answer as well. |

i read in the paper yesterday this is becoming quite popular, and not only among rockers and nerds |

I used to be into WH40K (got all 3 versions, including the original hardback!) Originally collected Blood Angels Marines, then with the latest edition switched to Dark Eldar (I'd always liked eldar, but they were a bit too namby pamby and elfish for my liking). "by the way, yes I know I am a nerd." People always take the piss, probably because of the Dungeons and Dragons types that take the game a bit seriously, but it's a good laugh. I've not played in years, but even after I stopped playing I carried on doing the minatures. I've stopped that too now. I was reasonable at painting them, but my real passion was doing conversions. I'm glad I did it, it has taught me patience, as well as good "close up" dexterity. Still comes in handy for mechanical work :) |

Yeah, them making videogames of it has helped a lot in making it be seen as "not just for saddos". The latest rules revision to make the game faster works well and so long as you have 30-odd D6s, you can fly through it. I've noticed a general trend in each revision to simplify and speed up- probably because our attention spans are erroded with every videogame we play ;-) |

well, those dwarfs with rifles allways made me laugh. aswell as sorcerers with pistols. thats just too much , you know, simple creatures without those high-tech would be sweet. with all of that gear - just funny. |

yes a few years ago i bought some warhammer stuff too (lizardmen) but i sucked at playing the game and sucked at painting the figures, and then it got too expensive so i gave up. not mine: |

Gasp, Imperial asssasin takes on Dark Eldar Incubi! As much as I like those pointy headed evil creatures, I fear the Incubi's days are numbered (unless that's a converted Tau, in which case its head will soon be on a pole)... |

when i was really young, i used to play warhammer 40k with other people. but mostly we played command decision (it was more about tank battles and more grounded in reality). i was rather good at that game. i liked to paint some of the miniatures, but i never collected them or got really into it. |
