[QUOTE=Zao Medong;44558869]I really wish I had people to play games like that with. Most of my friends don't have enough money or don't want to spend it on that though.
I've been thinking about getting back into non-gaming model building for awhile though. I used to be pretty damn good at making those 1:48 scale models.

40K I mean. Not little old ladies.
[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I got into the hobby with like 4 other friends, but now all of them go to school in other states, and when they're back none of them feel like spending money on it anymore. However, I've made a solid amount of friends at my local Games Workshop, and once you get past the initial weirdness of playing strangers it means that you can take your army to pretty much any hobby shop and find new people to play. It can be a really good way of getting started if you move somewhere new.
I'd recommend standard modelmaking a little less, because while its much cheaper and still lots of fun, its fairly antisocial, and since appearance is everything you'll either be satisfied with everything you do or forever be comparing your work to other better modelers. However, its also important to point out that compared to other gaming systems 40K is mad overpriced and extremely unbalanced, but depending on your views this can be made up by the background universe and how easy it is to find other players.
[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;44558899]I love making Tau 40k models. I can give them really simple color schemes and not weather them and they look great.
That being said it's about all I can make. Well, except those super fucking tiny vehicles. But they got boring because I was making them for no reason.
I ain't got no gaming clubs or anything around here. And I refuse to ever buy another 40k because they're ridiculously overpriced. It's not even fair at this point how much they can get away with charging us.[/QUOTE]
Buy stuff off eBay or forums, you can get things WAY cheaper and feel like you're sticking it to GW at the same time.
I wish I had a hobby shop around here. Like, ever since I was a kid I wanted one.
Fucking sucks. And as for 40k I also found I can't paint Fire Warriors anymore. My autism wore off and I kill myself trying to detail those things. Tanks and stuff are easy because they're big and have clearly defined outlines and flat surfaces.
[QUOTE=Zao Medong;44558954]Doesn't mean they [I]have[/I] to be.
Probably still should be single use though.
And hell yes. Let's skate to the moon Herf bby <3. Been trying to get back into the hang of longboarding again lately since it's been too cold and wet/snowy here all winter for me to do it.[/QUOTE]
I've got like 5 boards now or something and theres tons of places to shred around my neighborhood. just tell me when ever you're back and we can go hit the streets. Piedmont park is also hella fun if you wanna go in to ATL
OH FUCK I JUST REMEMBERED
I KNOW WHAT MY NEW HOBBY IS:
1/6th Scale Military Figures.

Know any other slightly cheaper (but still popular enough to find players) games of similar type?

I've actually been basing most of my MARSOC impression off that fucking figure because it's so goddamn detailed.

Yup, that's the perfect level of autism for me.
When I watched him load those tiny little bullets into the magazine I lost my shit.
If I'm ever a rich man, no doubt I'll have uber hi-speed 1:6 figures and gear fucking everywhere
uuuuggggghhhhh my ex is messaging my "i miss you" and shit on facebook
and her tumblr is all lovey stuff and and pictures of couples and quotes about being in love and loving someone even though you cant be together and shit like that and i just want to be like
YOU DID THIS. YOU CHOSE THIS FOR YOURSELF. IF YOU REALLY LOVED ME AND WANTED TO BE TOGETHER WITH ME YOU WOULDNT HAVE BROKEN UP WITH ME SEVERAL TIMES AFTER CHEATING ON ME.
Im just mad it took me so long to realize that she would just keep breaking up with me and then wanting me back, jerking me back and forth.
Bitches be crazy.
Did anyone watch the fucking giants-dodgers game? That had to have been the single most stressful game I've ever been to
Also, the crowd broke out into chants of BEAT LA quite a few times, and I'd throw in a G-L-A!! every now and then :v:

do you understand how close i've been to buying dragon dildos on multiple occasions?
the struggle is real.

See if there are any Dust Warfare groups in your area. It's the same scale as 40k, but the army/unit sizes are way smaller (3-6 men per squad, 4-6 squads per army) so it's a lot more affordable to play. Rules-wise it's a lot more straightforward than 40k but has some great mechanics that give it quite a bit of depth. It was written by one of the best 40k rules writers, Andy Chambers, so if you know 40k then it has a very familiar 'feel' but is streamlined and improved in a lot of ways.

I was at an Orioles Blue Jays game last week and the crowd broke into "USA! USA! USA!" Those damn Canadians had it coming.

I would never spell your name wrong, friend
My first figure is either going to be that MARSOC guy posted last page or this DEVGRU guy because they're by far the most badass. The Russian SOG guy is pretty swag too though.

watch face not on inside of wrist to maintain situational awareness while weapon is shouldered 2/10 authenticity
I remember during Operation Blacksheep I had a watch and I wore it on the inside of my wrist but everytime I shouldered my gun I'd accidentally press all the buttons so I had my shitty watch beeping and all kinds of alarms going off so I throw it in my deployment bag and forgot about it.
To this day, years later it goes off at 3:05 everyday and I still can't actually find where it is.
whats up with that figures arms? why are they so thin? or is it just his hands are really big? something looks really off there. I do want to get into 1:6th figures though. I want to make 1:6th versions of all my airsoft loadouts
