Apparently there's some new hot actor or something that paints (and maybe?) plays Warhammer of some variety. Being the pop-culture branch of ESPN.COM, Grantland did a little bit of an article about it and others who may or may not paint and/or play. Dakka Dakka was name-dropped (though not linked to, strangely enough).

Grantland has a pretty big readership, so there might be some more new people showing up!

The article in question.

Nice! And I could totally believe Vin Diesel plays, guy's a nerd at heart.

Dakka has a pretty big readership, too . But, it's always nice to get plugged! There's certainly enough of that going on in reverse here usually

Loki gets name checked as well.

Don't see a WarSeer user getting name checked though, do ya?


Suck on those eggs WhineSeer.

Not to be that nerd-pedant who starts a sentence with the word “Technically,” but: TECHNICALLY, Warhammer refers to an entire category of tabletop fantasy and/or sci-fi war games — played using armies of 25-millimeter-tall metal or plastic figurines, often hand-painted

Hm, 45 minutes google check is not enough it seems.

Spoiler:

Forum war is go!

Nope - and not even a little bit.

Mutual respect, or at worst, the 'if you don't have anything nice to say..." rule applies.

Warhammer - well on the road to genericide.

This reminds me of when I used to work in a Comic/Games shop back in the early 2000s and moms would come in and ask "Do you sell the Warhammers here?"

And that is when you say yes! And then hand her an already wrapped, unmarked box, with a wink and an exchange of currency.

Later, when little Timmy opens the box, he finds a two handed spiked warhammer with which to smite his foes!

Best birthday ever.
