As many of you will remember, and some of you may not, this community originally came from the Dakka Dakka wargaming forums so my question is, do we have any wargamers who still play? I used to play Warhammer, 40k and Fantasy, but that got too expensive and so I stopped. (Although I still have all my old stuff in boxes) More recently I've become interested in WW2 wargaming, in particular, Flames of War, because I'm a huge WW2 history fan and also because the game is comparatively cheap so I can talk my friends into getting into it without feeling bad. (Poor student problems) I'm currently putting together tanks for a 1944 German force from the Eastern Front.

I still do some Warmachine and I am slowly getting into this game called infinity. I tend to only get into wargames that I can make a stupid list in, for example my loveable trenchers in Warmachine and my basically futuristic French, riot cops who fight werewolves... the Loup-Garou.
That being said the Loup-Garou are actually pretty good. As far as other games go I wanted to buy a bunch of Dust: Tactics figures when they were on sale for like 50% or more off, but didn't. Kind of regret it.

I haven't played 40k since 5th edition, as it got too expensive and I just wasn't at a point in my life where I could do much wargaming. However, the upcoming 8th edition seems quite promising and I think I'm going to get back into it later this year, as I still have all my old models. Deadshot also still plays 40k as well, I've seen some of his models and they're pretty damn good.

Considering that there is barely any tabletop groups around here and the constantly rising price tags, I have pretty much dropped minis as hobby at this point

The number of players near me atm is small, but hopefully, I'm going to be able to get more people into it. (I part run the tabletop society at my uni so getting more people into it is kind of my job )

What he means is my *newer models are *not hideous.* but the compliment is welcome haha. I've given up actual gaming in the last few years, uni is time consuming and its a bit isolationist on a thursday night to head to the gaming club. I might take it back up again though if Tyranids become as powerful as initial teasers suggest. I've got a lot of Marines and need a change. Bloody Magpie Marines, Silver Daemon Marines, Black Alien Marines, Evil bloodthirsty Marines. Marines marines marines.
