As the title suggests I want be nosey and find out what you consider a hobby besides the whole wargaming experience. I dabble in a few things .I play guitar ,I do have lessons kinda bored with them now. Some tiems I will pick up the gutiar and blast out a song lol. I srot of lost my love of music , not sure why maybe its all too repetative and what not . I do write lyrics, mostly based on philosophy and the way other bands have made themselves. I likes to draw now and again , I can draw a space marine pretty good . I dont draw as much lately I blame GCSE Art . It sucks the life out of you ¬¬. I do abit of photography , my camera is currently dead as I stoel the batteries to feed the xbox contorller. It not only consumes my hours it also steals my batteries hehe. I do also consider reading grafic novels a fun past time and different books sci-fi and philoshpy mostly at the momment .Reading the Art of war Waterstones. Migth aswell buy a morgage in that place .

Waits for those with the grammar Nazi hobby..

I like drawing and relaxing and my main phobia is any form of work.

Do elaborate! Is this something to do with dressing up as a fox and engaging in sexual activity?

I'm a modeller as well as a gamer, in fact I'm more of a modeller but see the two hobbies as being more or less the same thing. I just don't game with the historical kits.

My other main area of interest is being a Doctor Who fan, though I'm a fan SF series and books in general. Doctor Who is the one I invest most time and money in, I have a lot of toys and models, DVDs, books and other odds and ends and have been to the odd convention too.

Anyone into the Rc world? I fly a few electric Rc planes and drive a couple Rc cars to but their mainly for drifting only what else is everyone into?

Working on my Cafe Racer project.

@anpu: That's the least frightening furry-related thing I've ever seen. I daresay it's kind of cool, actually

I make other kinds of art, mainly with oil pastels, and play bass and harmonica (I can play the entirety of Freebird ). I'm a Gaga fan which manages to turn into a full time hobby itself, and a Dream Theater fan which is much less a hobby nowadays as they tend to stay pretty quiet. I read books that my girlfriend reads so we have something to talk about. Beyond that, I love a good, open-minded, light-hearted philosophical discussion.

I draw and paint a bit, usually do free art displays.

I love gardening so when I am outside I am usually pottering around and checking how my veggies and plants are growing.

Reading, got too many books for the house really.

Cycling, Just got into this as a form of fitness and it gets me round parts of my city I would never see.

I do agree that some of the Fursuits can get a little Creepy

Not just the suits, sadly the majority of people that I've known who have been into that sort of thing were total creepsters. I try not to draw massive conclusions about people from their hobbies but some manage to live up to the hype :/

Other than wargaming.....
Video games (though I mostly play strategy or empire building games, so there is some overlap I suppose)
Roleplaying games, primarily D&D
Target shooting and restoring old military rifles (Hence the avatar, M 38 at night)

Just from the top of my head.

Trying to keep my aquatium algae free and the plants in it growing
Magic the gatherering

- Editing peoples' spelling, grammar and so on - I carried this over into becoming an English tutor.
- Animating, although since that's what I'm going to college for it's not so much of a hobby anymore.
- I used to play guitar, but other musicians killed music for me.
- Video games are up there.
- Reading
- Drawing and character designing. They also tie into animating, but I usually draw unrelated stuff.

A few things other than warhammer fit into this category:

1. Music - Cello, Guitar, Piano. Classically trained in all three. Music is pretty much the biggest thing at the moment for me, be it listening to it, or playing it. I'm in a band, write my own songs often and listen to music on average 7 hours a day. Oh and despite being classically trained and playing classical music for a long time the music I actually listen to and like is metal, of all varying kinds.

2. My other secret problem. Video games. Speaks for itself really...

3. History. Mostly military, but I'm also reading it at University at the moment so that's the student side of things covered.

Other hobbies??!!!?? That's heresy

In all seriousness I play video games a bit and paint (Not on miniatures).

Guitar, Mandolin, rock climbing, munro bagging, though I admit that they all take a distant second to my beloved wargaming lol.

Reading
Horse Racing
Walking
Going out for beer and curry
Gardening
Carpentry
Evening classes

Now I know where all my time goes!

I play in a band and skate, oh and get into whole lots of trouble with girls like most boys my age.

Photography.
Walking around as a stormtrooper (usually in a group) pointing our weapons at people (for charity).

Gaming in general is my other hobby (miniatures or rpg).

Sea fishing from the shore,
Rebuilding old vehicles,(mostly landrovers and my mercedes motorcaravan).
photography just started
Paintball and fussing my cats

Trap shooting.

Indy RPGs (D&D is for beginners)
Reading up on popular science
Retro PC gaming (if it doesn't need DosBox to run, I'm not interested)
Powerlifting



I know one of those doesn't look like it belongs, but I'm a complex individual.

I am a paintballer and also am slowly getting my suit or armor assembled for the SCA.

I am also a heavy RPGer.

And killing clowns with squid.

rugby mostly
followed by gaming, mostly xbox
and somewhere in there i find time for the girlfriend

I am an obsessive Angler/Fisherman.

SO much so that i set up this website: www.brisbanefishing.com.au and we know run a lot of competitions, socials etc.

Rugby

Sci-fi and horror movies.

And, also, I'm a Doctor Who fan (we're growing stronger in France)

I brew beer

OldPeculiar wrote:I brew beer

I do a bit of that too, made Elderflower Champagne last year it was lovely. Tried to make Sloe wine next, was fething awful. You win some, you lose some.

1. Mediaeval Re-enactment (see left )

2. Getting annoyed with people who think what I do is LARPing or anything to do with the SCA. I do proper re-enactment

Its a short list but between work, kids and plasticrack there's no time for anything else!!!

Hobbies include...

Chilling.

Playing too much Eve Online.

Cinema.

TV such as Heroes/Lost/Big Bang/Family Guy/American Dad/Southpark

Clubbing when I get the chance.

Currently the main part of my life is work/playing 40k/painting/playing Eve Online.

I do a lot of running. 10Ks to Half Marathons mostly, although I ran the London Marathon last year. I also enter the Great South Run (10 miles) ever year and can seen on the website running last years race (I'm the guy in black towards the right hand side of the screen wearing a knee support).

http://www.greatrun.org/Events/Event.aspx?id=12&link=Coverflow

During the summer, I enter as many triathlons as I can afford (entry fees range between £40 and £80), with training in between.

Most of my time is being taken up a Masters in Transport Planning at the moment (more interesting than it sounds) and multiple Flashman posts means I'm supposed to be writing an essay and am being distracted by the internet.

I build and race cars, mostly drag racing because I dont have enough money to build a proper curcuit racer.

Used to skateboard, Not enough time these days

Used to paintball, No place nearby to play, not enough money after cars/models

Used to play lots of videogames, not enough time these days with working on cars and building/painting models.

Used to play DnD 2nd and 3rd editions, not enough time now, and no local group.


current ride is an 89' honda CRX with a frankenstein motor built from an Acura Integra and Japanese Domestic Market Honda Civic type R. (Known in the honda-world as an LS-Vtec) Planning on going turbo with it after I get my new Limited Slip transmission and rollcage installed. End goals for the car are ~400 horsepower in a 1700 pound car, quite insane.

I also have an 87 porsche 944, but its a POS.

Most people seem to have cool hobbies besides war gaming. Is role playing any good . I sued to always ahve toy swords as a child lol .I like the whole dressin up in armour thing

SCA for a while, though took a year off from a shoulder injury and haven't gotten back in yet.
I read a lot, a lot of economics and systems stuff, as well as plowing through everything Pratchett has written (got into him kinda late it seems.)
Otherwise I waste too much time on video games, but they are an addiction that is hard to break when work leaves you in a malaise of frustration and hatred.

Otherwise board games and some movies. I try to get some RPGs going but most of my friends are very luke warm on them.

My other hobbies are:

RPG's; my group is switching off between dnd 4th and star wars saga.
Hanging out with my two kids.

Really between the wife, kids and work that is all I have time for.

@L0rdF1end

I don't know if it qualifies as a hobby,but I also play bass/guitar.
I'm also addicted to Horror (zombie) films and have a fairly large colection.

Thats why I am glad to be young . Except we have lots of exams ¬¬

I used to:

do archery
do airsoft
go wherever the whim took me on my Transalp / R100
go to the cinema

Then I had kids.

Couldn't be happier.

Awesome to see what other things people are into. Not really sure I would count things like board games and anime as a hobby, but I am into them as well. I wouldn't call drinking a hobby, but I've certainly burnt up a good amount of time due to it. I used to be into tropical fishkeeping as well, but I've moved so many times in the past five years I haven't had the interest to start up a tank again for fear of having to move it three times in one year. Would be nice to see more pictures in this thread. Here's my list:

Working out and nutrition. I spend a lot of my free time exercising or reading about health and nutrition or learning a new recipe. Since the weather has improved in my area I stopped driving to and from work just to get more time on the bicycle in.
Philosophy. If I'm not reading about health and nutrition it's something to do with philosophy. Seneca is currently favorite.
Fishing.
Knots. Got into it from the flashlight and EDC(every day carry) forums. Picture below of my car key fob and lanyard I made.
Homebrew/ wine making. I just got into this, but it's going to be nice to be able to offer someone a glass of mead and tell them it's mine. Picture of my first batch currently going. I've got a five gallon batch of apfelwein going as well. Still figuring out what to do next.

Photography is my other main hobby.

I also enjoy history, travel and cooking but I think of those as interests rather than hobbies as they just need time and money rather than specialist equipment and knowledge.

Lots of reading
Writing
Walks about town
Pathfinder RPG
Left 4 Dead

COYS COYS COYS!

As you can probably tell by my profile pic, I like to collect guns (specifically rifles) and hone my marksmanship and weapons maintenance skills (CATM for my fellow military types). I currently own a Ruger mini 14, a Kalashnikov, a Romanian PSL, and a Turkish Mauser 98

I play paintball when I can, but its been a while. I'm waiting on my base to hurry up and reopen the on-base field.

History (specifically military), and tied into that is an interest in political science and philosophy. I enjoy learning about the factors that cause nations, cultures and groups to behave the way they do. In this era of globalization, I figure it pays to know how and why other nations think and behave.

I also enjoy playing video games (specifically FPS and some RPG) and creating the occasional stick figure death video for my own amusement.
Eventually I want to learn a martial art (preferably MCMAP, Krav Maga or Sambo) but right now I'm not willing to spend 100$ a month on lessons. In the meantime I will wait till the Air Force finally decides to open a combatives school.

Drawing primarily. I'll be getting my first tablet over the summer, methinks. Although I hope to go into the field of concept art and character design, so it could very well stop being a hobby and start being a job.

I used to do some 3D modelling, but it kind of tapered off with university. Once I start my 3D course next summester, things should pick up again, and I'll probably be able to build some real skill.

I love my Harley, and any free time I can swing I usually spend out on two wheels.

Thats really awesome .I wanted to go into character desgin , but am aiming towards being a lawyer now . My brother did computer game design , but he doesnt work for a gaming company hehe .

Always had an affinity for TCG/CCG's.

scarskull5 wrote:Always had an affinity for TCG/CCG's.

I used to play yu-gi-oh duel masters ect. Played abit of magic wanted to back into it , never did lol

Well, my other two vices are tropical fishkeeping and mmos.

Waiting on the immigration folks so I can move to the US means I don't have any fish atm and when I finally couldn't stand what SOE were doing to EQ2, I left that (end of 08) and so am not doing either.

I work out and have a rowing machine I do a regular amount on but it's not something I enjoy and don't consider it a hobby, it's like brushing your teeth or doing the laundry.

But once settled in the US, it's fishtanks and hopefully the release of TOR for mmo time. Wife is a big fan of Star Wars so that's a hobby we can do together. I've also got her considering 40k, she's veering towards tyranids atm.

me i just mess about between;
study for jc
writing
archery, own a good bow from merlin archery
bare fist shotokan sparing(its not fun, i just do for the rush)
watching us crime dramas(mentalist and numb3rs)
playing flash games

mainly TCGs

I am sort of gettting back into music again .I was going to quit guitar , but I am still doing lessons , even though I said I would quit .I am listening to more under ground bands and different genres lately.

If your moving anywhere near San Fransisco California, you should definitely check it out on the weekends when they get their deliveries in. So many fish, most stores don't even take them out of the bags as they get sold that quickly.

I'm curious from a couple of people saying they are into archery, where did you learn? I saw a class being offered at the local community college but I never checked it out.

I too used to play Yu-Gi-Oh Mr Leeqaex but realised that it was sapping time and money, and it's a childrens card game.

My attention span is on par with a goldfish.

I like playing FPS games, they keep me on edge, challenge my reflexes, and require approx. 3 seconds max strategic planning. If im not in the top 2 on the 32 player Bad company 2 server then i need another coffee.

i mostly do photography, studying (more a neccessity than a hobby, admittedly) and am learning to play bass (not very well, however if the occasion should ever arise in which someone needs the crash bandicoot and/or worms theme tune played via bass, i'm your man )

I tie flys for fly fishing. Which also means I go fishing quite often. I also like to read books and collect comics. Along with minis, that is where all my time goes.

Well do women, sleeping and pissing about with mates count as hobbies?

Oh i do physics to

EDIT: after finding out the OP was a female i reread the first post and it seemed completely different, its amazing how you stereotype isnt it?

- Fixing up old cars (really just taking them apart and figuring out I'm over my head)
- Xbox and a few pc games
- Transformers - Toys, comics, shows, even the movies (could be worse *looks at GIJoe*)
- Shooting and teaching people to shoot
- Movies, TV, comics and Books
- Wasting time reading rumors on the internet

I play a few instruments, and am a singer/songwriter - currently in a band, recording an album for independent release. It's taking fething FOREVER.
Also enjoy hiking/camping, drinking real ale, the occasional pub quiz - all sorts of stuff really. To be honest, between Uni, band, missus and 40K, I don't really get time time to do much else! But I like my life at the moment.


Wow, I actually do. That's weird.

Learnt archery in Nottingham with Robin Hood!!! (well, ok, the official Nottingham Castle Robinhood actor anyway!)

Action Shooting is Western Action Shooting. Mountain Man is a bit more involved. Almost like LARPing TBH. You need a persona and everything has to be period. Its a weekend thing that has everything from ax throwing, to shooting to skinning.

My persona, the Colorado Kid

Well I play D&D 4e and CoC.

Video Games.

I study cultural dance for fun (Hobby Dance Ethnologist) and help my wife run her dance studio as her assistant. Travel a lot as a result of this as well, so travel is another one of my hobbies.

Make costumes.

Write.

electric guitar
working on my new house
painting (on canvas lol)
sports when I get the chance (volleyball, soccer, biking)
vid games, but rarely these days
chilling with the wifey and friends

Only for hobby, or fun I should say. I don't have any real formal education in ethnology and because there are a lot of cultural dances out there you kind of have to go out and educate yourself on them.

I was browsing through my photos and found a pic of my "arsenal" (taken before I got the Mauser, I don't have any pics of it yet)

Thought I'd share

From left to right: AKM, PSL (aka FPK Dragunov), and Ruger mini 14

If I posted Pics of my arsenal, I would have the Feds knocking on my door. 4 Gun lockers filled and still probably need 2 more.

lol ah americans...

one of my favorite nights was driving out into the desert in tucson and shooting an old vcr with a czech made ak from 100 yards out...

Not much chance of that happening at home in Montreal lol

Honestly Work and School take half my time away. I love going hiking and writing songs and playing on my drums.

Wargaming takes about a quarter of my time.

Link is broken, Demogerg.

- competitive MtG (yeah, like wargaming isn't expensive enough)
- I'm in art school, which takes up a lot of your time.
- a girlfriend that needs attention every now and then.

I need to play more videogames as a preparation for my internship, don't know how I'll ever have time for that though.

not even a little bit of MtG as I might deduce from your name?

TiB wrote:not even a little bit of MtG as I might deduce from your name?

Played MTG for over 10 years, got in shape, lost weight, cared about my hygiene. Then got tired of being sandwiched between 2 300 lb guys who probably dont own a toothbrush, Washing machine, or a stick of deodorant, in a room that normally doesnt have adequate ventilation or space for said people. So i stopped.

At least with wargaming I can have a nice 4 foot buffer.

haha forge world stanf at games day nuff said

Yeah, from what I've experienced, wargaming is even worse than MtG. Because the wargaming hobby is a bit more 'intense' (what with the modelling and painting) than the tcg hobbies, a much higher percentage of the people playing is so 'hardcore' that they have even less time for general hygiene/cooking balanced meals/wives or gf's to keep things normal etc.

+ they're also older so add balding to the list.

Working Out
Magic the Gathering
Cooking
I ST 2 games (Storytell, fancy word for DM)
I play in 2 games
Collect Comics
Build other models (I really like giant robots)
Hunt
Fish
Football
Work
School

are the things I spend pretty much all day on (well 1 maybe 2 a day)

I enjoy writing in my spare time. Also do a little airsoft (shooting other people in battles that is), dabbled in paintball, and do this freaky thing called miniature painting (insane, I know. What kind of nerd would spend hours hunched over an inch-tall plastic man painting him?)

Well dont be too harsh not everyone is that way .i mean peopel would think me being a girl and being into gaming ect I would be a steryo type but I am really not. i enjoy so many different hobbies . I never knew my cousin who is like 20 years odler than me was into gw . The only time I knew was when I saw him at conflict North 05 ( oo how I miss conflict) . He is soo "normal" aswell lol. I think peopel need to understand a hobby is a hobby .

- Walking in the mountains
- Skiing in the winter
- Hunting
- Reading
- Beer
- The missus also takes time

My MSc course takes up most of my non-hobby time at the moment, however I do also play video games and the ukelele

Video games do take up a lot of time to be honest. Since online gaming was introduced people have been button mashing thier lives away . Oh well at least it gets all your anger out . Well it does infuriate you even more at times, especially the amount of lag. ( how was that for typing much better me thinks )

Personally, I would argue that I don't really suit the stereotypical gamer image, I keep my WH40K hobby out of the way compared with the rest of my life; ie. I seperate my geeky side from the rest of it.

My other 'hobbies' include:

- Socialising/Clubbing/Parties
- Dogs
- Pub
- Sports
- Being with friends/ more-than-friends...
- WORK.
- Experimenting how far away from the toilet I can pee accurately...

I would probably have to agree. I am into music , drama and art , so I am more of the artsy type. I am big into gaming aswell but I do not think I let that get out of hand .Games and such are just abit of fun with mates.

Very true, lag is piss annoying and may I take this opportunity to say that I for one hate COD6. The lag is horrible, second, battlefield is just like gold to MW2's bronze. and Halo is like fecking platinum. Halo fan's ftw!!!
