"Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed."
~~~Joseph Addison
I did a random Google search on quotes and came across the one above. I felt it very aptly summed up what I found in the hobby and the joy I derived from it. What is this hobby you ask, well it is many things to many people. The hobby I speak of is table top war gaming, I hope to share with others my experience with this hobby (limited as it may be) and hopefully provide ideas and inspiration for others.
I play 2 table top war games, Warhammer Fantasy & Warhammer 40,000 or 40k. The hobby involves miniatures generally of the 20mm base variety. This miniatures have to be assembled and painted and are used to play out "wars" on the table top based on rules and dice rolls. For me the fantasy universes created for the games, the painting, collecting and gaming make this hobby very unique and special and one that I hope to continue pursuing seeing as Joseph Addison explained it stirs the imagination and brings me great joy.
