It seems like a fun and time-consuming hobby, but definitely a great way to spend your time.

I’m into something similar, but my focus is more on figures for automotive dioramas. I’ve seen some Warhammer dioramas, too, and they’re seriously impressive. Really fun to look at.
Yeah both the Guard and Space Marines are 40k armies. If the lizard-like models look kind of inspired from the Aliens movies, then those would be the Tyranids, a hyper-advanced insect species. Warhammer 40k is the space dark fantasy/science fiction realm, but the same company also puts out models for The Old World and Age of Sigmar, which are closer to a traditional high fantasy as well as having the rights to make the Lord of the Rings tabletop game.

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.

PB and Xant sound like they’re on a school playground after the Christmas holidays talking about their GI Joe action figures with the swivel arm battle grip Lol!

Xant: “Look what I got!”

PB: “Cool! Look what I got!”

Lmao!

I knew PB was going to come back with something about everybody else’s fraternities being less than Lol!

I was about to roast the cartoon Kappa image but I’ll leave PB alone today since it’s his founders day.

Happy Founders Day, PB. Have fun at y’all’s banquet.

The best part of being an adult with adult money is that my toys get way cooler.
