Well I have decided to pick up a new hobby called Warhammer. Warhammer is a base game from games workshop which is based out of Lenton, Nottingham, England. The reason why I have gotten into this hobby was to get me off of my computer and interacting with people face-to-face instead of over a computer all the time.
So what I have been doing for the last couple of weeks was on my home from work I goto the Oak Park location which is just by the Lake Theatre which is kinda good because we can always stop in the store before we go see a movie and vice versa.
Games workshop has three main core games, War Hammer, War Hammer 40,000 and Lord of the Rings. I decided to play War Hammer because I do like Lord of the Rings but the game itself isn’t what I like. Though War Hammer is very different from LotR due to play style and the armies. Armies now, I am playing the High Elf army. I started collecting these guys a few years ago but due to other activies and school and such, I kind of put it aside and they were put under the house and forgotten about. About a month or so ago, Courtney, Suzie and I were walking back to the car after seeing a movie and I wanted to stop into the Games Workshop and after looking around, I knew I had some around the house some where. I was able to find them and I have gotten back into it. I was able to get Courtney to get into it as well, which is always good because then it gives us something to do together. She decided to pick up Wood Elves. With her really being into LotR and in love with Legolas from the movies she really liked that army and has started to build that army slowly right now.
We did get the starter set which comes with Dwarfs and Orcs and Goblins. Once I get my High Elf army built and going, I think I am going to work on the Dwarfs army next.
I was able to get Ryan to get interested in the game when we brought him into the store on Friday before we saw Harry Potter. He decided to get the War Hammer 40k starter set last night after I told him not to but he did what he wanted to do. Since he was interested in Space Marines and pretty much only them, he gave me the other army Orks army for the payment of 1 milk shake and a movie ticket. Saving lots of money that way.
This is just something to get me out and off the computer, I am willing to try and explain it more if you have questions but if not s’all good. Below is a picture of one of my High Elf Archers:
