It took 12 of us to set them up. I even enlisted help from my kids. AND my parents. As a wargamer, I embrace the joy of collecting miniatures. There’s nothing quite like setting up thousands of plastic figurines and displaying their detail, their paint jobs, AND their sheer epicness. Some people collect dolls or action figures, others collect LEGO, and then there are those of us who collect Warahmmer. Specifically Adeptus Astartes: which is the official name given to Space Marines by Games Workshop, the manufacturer and creator of the Warhammer 40,000 franchise. Now you might be wondering: Who collects these things? Who’s dedicated enough to weigh the pros and cons of which paints to apply? (Cuz they start off cold and grey) that’s right! Every single miniature you see was first clipped off a grid of plastic called a sprue, assembled piece by piece similar to a model car, and then individually painted by hand. Who is so hyper-focused to a degree that a very real chemical reaction takes place in their brains if one accidentally calls this group of marines Lamenters instead of Imperial Fists? As an outsider, objectively there’s very little difference, perhaps a shade of yellow or so, but to an avid collector and fan of the franchise, misrepresenting these little guys could elicit a demand for blood and justice! Think I’m joking? Well, I’m here to tell you this is no joke! This is some people’s livelihood, mine included.
