Warhammer fans
Jump to: Newest in thread
Holding my hands up here, I’m a guy in his 40’s and yes, I’m a fan of building, painting and playing Warhammer 40K.
Got back into building and painting after a long absence during lockdown and found it quite helpful for mental health.
Any other fans on here? |

I’ve not really got into the Black library stuff yet… I’m trying to get into Horus rising but I’ve got other books on the go too at the moment and it gets put to the back burner |

Got back into it about 3 years ago find it really relaxing and definatly good for your mental health. Big fan of the heresy novels and dark angels but hoping there is more about the redemptors, probably best marine chapter but a nightmare to paint |

This is why I enjoy painting Death Guard… so easy to cover mistakes |

I played back in the 90's, using the original Rogue Trader rules. We stopped playing when a pistol, could take out a Dreadnought.
I had a full company of Rainbow Warriors, with 23 Tech marines, a bike and sidecar squad.

"I still collect and play, but prefer historical games, such as SAGA and Bolt Action,or Chosen Men.
Why do you prefer them?"
I just do, I've always preferred historical games over 40K. |

Painting but not really ever got interested in warhammer.
I still paint the odd figure on request now and then. Did my largest piece (an earth dragon) just recently for a game of dnd. 6inches. Actually 6 inches.  |

I wasn't much of a gamer if it but enjoyed the painting; always found it therapeutic and relaxing as others have eluded to. I want to get back into the painting. Seems some of the paint techniques and types of paints have changed. |

Not just Warhammer but miniatures in general, currently Marvel stuff. No shame either haha. It’s such a good hobby with so many different aspects and it’s definitely great for positive mental health and well-being |

I’ve looked at a few of the Marvel Crisis Protocol mini’s, but think I’d prefer the greater freedom painting things how I want with Warhammer…. I’d be too inclined to do comic accurate paint schemes |

Games Workshop produces possibly the worst gaming system. It's never balanced .
It purposely favours the "army of choice" by gamers and greatly contradicts its own lore.
Since Gw concentrated on wealth over content the new bloods, gamers, have fed a boring machine of profitable turnover.
Ask any manager.
If games workshop cannot produce a new model to wow their consumers while satisfying power players then somethings a miss.
I've managed stores, spent thousands on forgeword alone, painted an actual complete army of iron warriors, converted vehicles and characters before that was taken away... I've played , read novels, been behind the scenes at Nottingham hq, and I fully see the hobby as crap. After 23 years I'm not looking back nor upset stopping playing. The figures are fantastic but the system is balls. |

"I’m a ork warboss here WAAAAGHHH!"
I always wanted to play the Orks, I joined a mate who had an ork army. You have to have a sense of humour to play them though, as my mate was not lucky with his dice rolls and killed most of his army. |

Yeah I used to have loads and play as a young teenager. Think I collected everything at one point.
I haven't played or painted any models since then.
I still love the lore though and watch stuff on youtube quite a bit.
Plus I'm a sucker for any warhammer/40k game. Love Vermintide and the total war warhammer series. Looking forward to 3 and Darktide |

Gaslands wargame!
Although I've never played it I've got into turning toy cars into Mad Max-style combat vehicles.
As a pistonhead just waiting to start building the real ones!!! |

Quite.
GW has incredible pedigree and recognition but if you'd rather support smaller businesses there's a million alternatives out there x

This is something I hear quite a lot and having come back to the hobby after a long break I do see a lot of difference in this way.
Having said that though, there are a few things to consider..
1. If GW didn’t make money, then there would be no more incredible miniatures produced by them… and as someone who was playing late 80’s originally I have to say the sculpts now are amazing in comparison
2. Not everyone is in the hobby to play… many people just enjoy building and painting
3. If GW release a new edition with new rules etc. that you and your friends don’t like, you’re under no obligation to actually use the new rules. You’ll still have your old rules there that you can use… nobody is forcing you |

There's a huge amount going on in the background with GW which is alienating a large section of their fan base. The Warhammer+ fiasco with the associated scandals, the above inflation price hikes, the NDA publicity. All in all GW are not looking like a very pleasant or indeed ethical organisation. |

Haven't played in about 15 years but still read a lot of the black library stuff especially the horus heresy series and the spin off primarch series. Was a chaos player for 40k and lizardmen in what was warhammer (think its called age of sigma now) |

Yeah the Warhammer+ is a bit annoying.
I really really enjoyed Astartes. Friends of mine who dont even like/have an interest in 40k thought it was great. One friend even got a few space marines to paint during lockdown because of it. It was a phenomenon on youtube with various channels doing reactions to it and it sprouted a few memes. All Free advertising for GW.
Then they go put it behind a pay wall which no one but the most ardent fans are going to paying for in the first place, even that's a stretch.
I'm sure I'm missing something but it seems like such a stupid move to pull it off YouTube.

The leaked one is a little iffy, but from what I understand it’s not particularly different to many similar types of NDA’s.
Ultimately GW are a company that are looking after their IP and trying to make money… just like every other creative company. They’re no different to Mattel, Hasbro, Disney etc. |

Disney allow fan animations and stuff of star wars though. They even made loads of the sounds from the new movies available for people to use.
While what GW did is just piss people off. Especially with the loss of Text To Speech by Alphabusa

Not done anything of the like for more than 15 years. Bloodbowl was my big thing, though I now see that Heroquest has been re-issued by Avalon Hill so I may pick that up to introduce to my eldest son. |

Hubby does, though only the 40K, Heresy, Necromunda, and Titanicus settings. Massive unpainted backlog, no doubt typical.
As of late reflected on the overall cost and constant price rises so now looking into 3D printing. That should save a hell of a lot over time. |
