Short amazing journey coming to a quick end?

Wow, let me just state that it has been forever since the last time I was here. I believe that it was around early March and now its the middle of May. I remember that we went on a trip to Florida and I couldn't bear not being able to go on 40k terra 
and on our way home I couldn't wait to see what was new. But then I didn't want to go on. I thought maybe it was jet lag and I'll be on it everyday of the week soon. But day after day, week after week I never touched the site. I wondered if something was wrong with me. I had gained a great interest in Fantasy while my Marines suffered the unending wrath of dust and I was amassing army books for Fantasy armies. Soon I gained enough cash for me to start a nice army but then me and my brother went into a discussion about buying stuff. He says that he plans out what he buys and I keep changing my mind. When I argued that I'm just trying to think which Fantasy army I should get but countered me saying that I don't played Warhammer anymore and that I can't even gain the courage (or leadership stat) to challange a stranger (or maybe a person I see often) to a game. The problam is, he's right
. It has been months since I painted a model and played a game. I can't even remember when was the last time I went into the store! Maybe someting is wrong with me. Maybe Warhammer isn't the hobby for me and was just a hidden money hole that costed hundreds of dollars for myself. Maybe the magic that holds hobbyists together doesn't work on me. This may very well be one of the last TT related posts I will ever make. An expensive and shortlived hobby, Warhammer has actually awed me to my core and I still love it for a wonderful story and universe. Maybe those of you will read this and have sympathy for me and I might come out of my grave to start anew. Maybe some of you will just let this blog go over your heads as you think that Warhammer could always lose a follower. I just wanted to get this off of my chest and I wish everyone on this board happy gaming.

 |  That is too bad to hear Kenshin. I know that I personally have had serious thoughts several times about stopping playing, but everytime I do, I just take a break and play something else. Then I come back to warhammer fully refreshed and happy again! Dont worry! If it isnt for you, then it is not! Sometimes it works that way! It is not something to be ashamed of! |

| |  I left for the entire 2nd and most of the 3rd edition becouse i was working outa state,then i came back and didnt even think about it,and then one day just happened to stop by a Gamestore and was hooked all over again.Stockpilled some new minis and played tough for a few months.Painted and coverted for a few.then played tough again,and so on.and know its been months since i have played a game but i still love it and once its in you its hard to get it out.I tried many games in my time and none have hooked me like 40k,i might have put it away for one reason or another but always had a spot for it.Then there came Terra "enough said" loL!!. Sorry to ramble Kenshin,Hope to see you back! |

| |  you have to remember that the hobby means different things to different people some folks game almost exclusively and make few friends due to their beardy ways. others are reclusive, painting and converting all the time and rarely playing any games others are social animals hanging about their games store, discussing all aspects of the hobby, but rarely doing anything else i tend to fall into the second category - i havent played a game in 2 years, but am a regular on various forums; paint commissions and convert a heck of a lot too! so what if i dont play? i enjoy what i do and thats all that matters to me. if im not spending money on this, ill be spending it on something else, that much i know for sure. so if i know i enjoy this, i see no point in worrying why i dont game or why i dont like talking to people about the hobby in real- life (theyre all ******s usually, anyway) so have a long hard think about what youll be spending your money on if its not GW; or if you really like what youve done with the hobby so far, regardless of what other people may say. |
