Wargaming

[Matt Varnish]

Are there any wargamers on here?
I play Napoleonics in Epic scale, and Bolt Action in 28mm
I also own a wargaming shop that holds gaming evenings and tournaments

Most popular of course is Warhammer 40K, a game I just cannot get in to!

Weren't you into this, @KirkDuyt? Or only in video games?

No, just video games. Only "real" wargame I've tried my hand at is Risk.

Or Monopoly if you consider capitalism a form of warfare.

I mostly play Blood Bowl which isn’t war gaming I guess but still.

Dabble in a bit of 40k and AoS though

My brother is into making the models and painting them but actual gaming I don’t think so

personally used to love D&D as a kid but could never get into wargaming instead

Sometimes. Got a group of old friends that still do but we are spread around the country so don't get much opportunity.

I do still paint stuff, find it very relaxing and a nice way to switch off for an hour or two without looking at a screen.

Used to be into warhammer fantasy as a kid, had a load of models and different armies. I didn't actually find the tabletop game that fun, I much more preferred the model painting and reading about the lore. Haven't played since I was about 11 and still remember all the stats from most models and the characters, shows what a sponge the brain is when young I guess.

Friend got me back into 40k. Haven't played it in about 23 years but loving building and painting my new Tyranid army

It's incredibly popular at the moment. Games Workshop seem to be growing and growing.

I'm scared to even look what Warhammer miniatures cost these days.

I unearthed my old magic the gathering collection recently, after a nudge from an old school friend. Was very pleasantly surprised to find that the ‘dual lands’, of which I have about 10, seem to be going at a starting price of around £600 these days

Panzer General rules, what a classic game that was.

I suppose it helps that people like Henry Cavill talk about it publicly so it’s gone a bit mainstream

Costs about two livers and a kidney these days
