Pretty castles are a part of Warhammer, but I've always been more taken with the huge dragons and armies of rampaging orcs myself. 😊 I'd love to have the time - and money - to devote to miniature collecting and painting, but... not yet. 😊 Some students at our place have brought in their armies and I've always been impressed with their painting. It's a very rewarding hobby, that's for sure.

Before my eyesight declined, I used to collect and paint Warhammer figures. I used to get them from a shop run by a couple of guys, obviously gamers, who would actually get annoyed if you went to buy figures from non-compatible games. I didn't, and still don't, play games, but simply liked painting the figures, and setting them in little dioramas. It was amusing to go to the counter, and watch the guy there look at the figures, shake his head, and then say something like: "You can't have Space Marines, Pirates and Ents together". He just could not see why I'd do such a thing. When I told him that I did not play any games, but just collected the very cool figures, he blanked me, and basically barred me from the shop. A very odd person. His shop isn't there now.  I hope you enjoy painting your figures.
