Just as a query, does anyone play warhammer?

If you dont know, it is a tabletop battlegame involving minitures, dice and tape measures. The minitures are like airfix, but much cooler. You make them from plastic or metal, and then you have a battle using the rules system. Its cool because there are loads of different armies, and you can paint them how you want, even if it does not abide by the colour scheme!

go to http://games-workshop.com/ for more info.

I collect warhammer-

Warhammer 40000 (set in the future) Tau empire, Chaos Space Marines

Warhammer Fantasy (set in the past, with dwarfs and elves) Night Goblins

I used to role play, many years ago, but never Warhammer.

I have quite a few involving Tau, ultramarines, chaos marines and some lord of the rings ones but they're collecting dust at the moment

The nearest I got was making scenery and painting the figures for my son and daughter.

I remember Warhammer being a real big thing at our school (there used to be a club run by our art teacher at one point) however, I never got into it as it was too expensive for me at the time.

This year at Brighton Model World we were surrounded by Warhammer exhibits.

Oh cool!

I did not think that anyone would know about it!

Does anyone actually still play?

OMG Simon, you'll be hung drawn and quartered! They weren't playing Warhammer! They were wargamers - faithfully recreating some obscure WWI battle in a previously quiet corner of Belgium for the entire 3 days of Modelworld. (I think they spent the first day discussing the rules though.)

The Warhammer guys were in another hall, but yes, they are still around and battling hard. Also popular at the games shop in Eindhoven where the previous AWS was held.

All the same to me :wink: They could try to do that to me Gary, but their swords are very small. :D
