Warhammer (4 Viewers)

[shmmeee]

Went to the UK Games Expo at the NEC on a whim yesterday and it rekindled something dormant in me since I was about 11, I’ve suddenly got the urge to paint a miniature despite not having touched it for 30+ years. Maybe even actually learn to play the game.

Anyone willing to admit they’re into this stuff and can point me in a good starting direction?

Fully expected and deserved.

It was inevitable.

I expect some Roy Hodgson references along the way too.

In the direction of figure painting or gaming ?

There's a war hammer shop on trinity street FYI

never tried Warhammer or D&D or anything like that which is weird really as I'm 100% geek and its exactly the sort of thing people would expect me to be into

there used to be Geek Retreat in town but I believe they got booted out by the council so you'd probably have to head to Brum to find something similar.

Is it Goths or Geek, that is the question?

There's a shop in town. Have to admit, I have been looking at getting into myself lately. Would be a great little hobby imo. Keep me in the loop if you find anything interesting.

Popped in and they’ve sold me a starter kit with a few paints. I’ll see how I get on.

Friend of mine is into warhammer in a big way. 3d prints the figures and paints them. Was also at NEC on Friday (struggling to get round in his wheelchair it was so busy), and went to their place in Nottingham a few months ago. He’s disabled and can’t work, so has the time to spend on his hobby.

I need to dig my old ones out of my mums loft and flog them. Half worried I'll see them and get into it.

I Saw 4 teenage emo/goths sword fighting with large sticks yesterday. I think they had just come back from there too.

I go down rabbit hole YouTube sessions watching Swedish blokes painting Warhammer miniatures (Squidmar),. The painting side has always appealed to me. Always used to look in the games workshop and white dwarf magazine as a kid wishing I had the funds to get into it properly.

Had a mates brother who was bang into it. Back then I'm pretty sure it was all stinky enamel paint and turps. Lot easier now with quality acrylics
