Well, since I have some spare time on my hands right now, I'm going to use up some of it blogging about Warhammer 40k - probably my biggest time-sink of a hobby.
If you aren't familiar with it, Warhammer 40k is a tabletop wargame set in the far future in a really dark and unpleasant setting. You can get more information on it from the publisher's website, www.games-workshop.com.
What it really boils down to is an opportunity to be a kid again, stick together plastic model kits, paint up the resulting figures and vehicles and then play toy soldiers with them to a set of rules. Fortunately I have a partner in crime in this hobby in the same house: G. , my son, is also a keen player and is learning fast.

ReplyDeleteBut seriously, as mid-life crises (crisises?... pretty sure it's crises) go, Warhammer 40k sure beats a lot of other alternatives!
