I’ve always loved flashlights. Yes FLASHLIGHTS with an A!!! Anyway, apparently not many people share my rather niche interest.

So I ask you, fellow Lemmites, what are your hobbies and weird obsessions that you can ramble on about for hours?

Please feel free to ramble on about your passions here. Maybe you’ll find some likeminded individuals!

    Increasingly, mini painting has been eating my life. I tried to fight off 40k obsession but it’s been slowly pulling me in for a while now. But probably the weirder part is, I haven’t actually played the game yet. Still trying to get everything tabletop ready.

      Was into mini painting for a while when my partner and his friends still used to play BattleTech. I did play a bit myself but painting was much more exciting. :D I’d love to get back to it - always looking enviously at the Warhammer displays in our games store.

        Do it! The characters make great display pieces even if they’re not being used for anything. You can also try looking into 3d printed stuff, which is much cheaper, if you don’t care about it being tournament legal or anything.

          Speaking of 3d printing, have the minis ever made you interested in potentially getting into 3d printing?

            Yep, it’s quite tempting. There are a lot of mini companies that sell .stl files so that you could make proxies for Warhammer armies or just make tons of cool display pieces. Small studios can even publish whole game systems online with just .stl and .pdf files.

            The problem is just finding people to play them…
