Started playing WARMACHINE, and moved up from there. Fell in love with the games Never really cared that much for the wargames that primarily use plastic minis, like Warhammer and the Wizards' minis games. So, what are others' thoughts on wargaming?

I bought like $600 in units one day and fuckin tore that !@#$% up on game day. Used to play right at the card shop against like 7 other people on a huge ass 14 ft battlefield. I loved it. Logged

Reputation: +3/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 3374	I have a set of warhammer 40k that I got after much pestering from a few of my friends. I've only painted about 2 of the models though, I was always more interested in the landscaping part of preparing for games. I've got a landscape in our shed that's on a pulley system, I can wind it up to the roof out of the way and bring it down when I need to. It was originally for a model train I was given when I was about 11, but it's a hybrid of both now. The actuall games are fun. Even though the landscape is hardly finished we've had a few games on it, we just plonk premade scenery in different spots each time. The train makes for some interesting custom rules . My battlefield's 3ft by 6ft I think. Logged

The entire focus of the games is on getting into the mix of things and beating the living !@#$% out of your opponent. Logged

See, I personally prefer ranged tactical combat over melee based war games :p but that's just me

See, I personally prefer ranged tactical combat over melee based war games :p but that's just me It's got plenty of ranged attacks, especially with Cygnarian forces. And the Warcasters (WARMACHINE) and Warlocks (HORDES) have plenty of ranged spells. Logged
