The great thing about The Hobby (what people into Warhammer call it) is that it's a very deep rabbit hole to dive into, but also lots of different avenues. Thousands of models to build and paint, several game formats and styles, and literally hundreds of books telling the lore of the universes. Even better than that is if you get bored of playing the game, you can just focus on another area of the hobby like the books or the painting or custom modelling. I used to use Audible when I landscaped and would go through 1-2 books a week while working.

I remember the name now. They’re Tyranids. When he showed me pictures of his setup, his Imperial Guard setup stood out the most to me, because they looked kind of like an advanced WWII army. It was really amazing. This is interesting. What are the differences between the 40K armies vs the ones you’re painting? Can they mix the two when playing the game?

Yeah, I hear you on the YouTube’s. Interesting. Here’s some I subscribe to for my collection. The videos are great references.

Now, hold on, I never said any fraternity was less than mine. I just spoke mine into what it is. If that made you and some others feel smaller, that’s a reflection, not a statement. 😂

If you look at my post, I edited it because my brother (also a Nupe) sent me that image last night. I liked it. Here’s his text.

“Happy J5. You see the brotha on the far left? Minus the earring and lines in his hair, tell me he’s not your twin. If you were a cartoon, that’s exactly what you’d look like. 😆”

I had to do a double take and check my birth certificate to make sure I wasn’t secretly animated. I’m equal parts flattered and concerned that Pixar might owe me some royalties. 😂

Thanks.

Ah, indeed. Nice reply. I couldn’t agree more. 😂

When I look at my collection, nothing quite matches the sophistication of curating a collection where each piece whispers tales of engineering marvels and design brilliance. It’s not just “cooler toys” for me, it’s a celebration of artistry, history, and innovation, all neatly scaled to fit on my shelves.
