For me its probably Gaming - I've been trying to master civ 6 and Dots 2 lately and I also enjoy reading - Been trying to read the Singularity is near, but this book is just very academic and its taking a while lol

  • Painting Warhammer figures. Not really into playing the game, it’s too complicated for me in my old age, but I like building and painting the models
  • my neighbour just got me started on playing darts. It’s a lot more difficult than I would have expected
  • gardening. This week I put up new trellises and tied up the wild climbing roses

We love darts. If you find a good dart bar you can have a couple of hours of fun for the price of a soda. During covid we hung our board on our backyard fence so we could have friends over for game night.

Onepagerules is a good way to dabble in actually playing a game without the complexity and constant rule edits of official 40k. It has the advantage of very flexible list options. You can play either Grimdark Future which is the full scale game, or Grimdark Firefight which is the skirmish game using fewer models.

The rules and army books are also 100% free.

Thanks, I’ll have a look! The rules have changed at least twice since I got my army (Tau + Stingwings + Kroots) and so I just cracked the sads and stopped playing.
