Community All-gates : 12-10-18

Hey Everyone!  Welcome to the "Community All-gates", the weekly feature on The Realm Gate Blog where every Monday I plan to highlight something or someone from around the Age of Sigmar and Miniature Painting Community.  It might be an Event, a YouTube Channel, Blog, Army List, Model, Hobby Project, or anything else that catches my eye.  Today I want to encourage you all to head over to The Independent Characters website to check out how they are helping wargamers in California who have been affected by the Wildfires that recently happened.  They are organizing as many people as they can to help our fellow Wargamers have a bit of joy this Holiday by helping them replace armies lost.

 

Explain and Share Your Hobby

I am a blessed individual in the fact that my wife loves and supports my hobbies be it Fitness or Warhammer.  However, more often than not I see comments online or directly from friends about hoping their significant other doesn't find their recent purchase or having to earn brownie points so they can attend an upcoming event.  While I am not advocating one should simply do as they please as a relationship is a two-way street, but I feel more often than not we haven't truly explained to our partners the love and passion we have for our hobby.  This seems to lead to an unhealthy idea that it is better to hide purchases or attempt to trick our partners into letting us go off to have a weekend with our friends rolling dice.  Playing Warhammer is the same as any other pursuit be it sports, cooking, fitness, etc. and no one seems to hide those from one another so why should Warhammer be the same?  As with any advice you need to really examine if it is right for you.  This is my personal experience and my situation was right for the advice I layout, but as with anything, it might not be the best for everyone.

The Hobby Table : 12-5-18

Hey Everyone!  It feels like yesterday for my last Hobby Table post as the week flew by me quickly.  A big part of why it flew by so quickly was my final preparations for this weekend's two-day event being hosted by the Rend 4 club over in Ohio.  Last night I set my army out on its display board to see how it will all layout and I was quite pleased with how full it was with 150 Witch Aelves covering almost every inch of it!  It should be some crazy games with the army and I will be sure to do a full write up of the event and my games next week.
