The wargaming miniatures hobby is something I have taken to, largely due to Games Workshop's rich canon and ubiguity; Friends I have made, Gentlemen all, at http://www.dakkadakka.com and (to a limited extent) other websites, the fact that the miniatures themselves are so cool (hello, Forgeworld!), and... what can I say? Much like anything that comes from Blizzard and other first rate gaming companies, the miniature wargaming hobby has really come into its own in this digital age.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only lore. And honestly, there is nothing better (that does not involve advanced mathematics and computer science) than a game of 40k and a cold beeer. Even a warm beeer will dooo.
