What Other Hobbies

Just seeing what other COTEC do. Either wargaming, cards, cars, etc etc.

For me I love fishing its generally cheap and pretty relaxing. I hunt occasionally ill take a deer every 3 years or so and try and bird hunt every year.

Another love of mine is modding my car, I have a 97 Thunderbird. Not a hotrod by any means but its not a mustang so its different and people don't expect anything from it so I like being different.
So to help cure my car hobby ive started modeling 1/28th car models.

Also kinda required for me to keep my job is hitting the gym as much as possible...use to weightlift in Highschool and college until I realized it was destroying my body with to much weight.

Problem with all these hobbies is they are all expensive so I don't really get to treat each of my addictions. Usually the car gets the short end of the stick with it being the most expensive and the least enjoyable (well right there with Warhammer) for my wife.

The other problem is most of my friends are "manly" men so whenever they see me reading about Warhammer they never miss an moment to yell DORK or Nerdhammer lol, I just laugh then tell them if they don't stop ill beat them up...jokingly of course.

With my little girl being born on the 10th of this month plus having all the other hobbies plus all the stuff I need to get done to the house I never have enough time to do everything I want to my army......ive been painting for about 5months and have about 6 models base coated!

In gaming, I play some 40k, and have a huge collection of historical 25mm and 15mm troops. Renaissance and late Medieval being the largest collections (probably 2000 figures or more in both scales). I also have Japanese/Samurai in 28mm.

Every third Saturday of each month finds me with a few of the core gamers here playing strategy games like Puerto Rico, Lords of Waterdeep, just to name a couple (we must have 20+ games we play). This is also the night that we test/taste/sample/shoot fine single-malt Scotch Whiskey.

I am known to brew beer of good quality, mostly amber ales, with forays into stout, porter, and the occasional barley mead or lighter beers for summer especially. I have a complete home brewing and serving setup including CO2 and N20 taps. Though I just don't brew often enough anymore though, as I currently have a slight space issue that is going to be dealt with a home-remodel in the next few years.

I have been a woodworker, making solid wood furniture ALMOST as long as I have been playing wargames. I built my first piece of furniture in 1976. This is also what is competing for space with the beer-brewing and somewhat with my gaming, though gaming does reside in my man-cave that does not share much with anything else.

Finally, my wife and I are avid fans of oriental and near-eastern foods, and experiment, practice and refine recipes for a couple of yearly dinners we host as "auction items" at local fund raising events. Our Thai 1 On with Caroline and Steve is now in its 12th year, and last years sold for $6000 US for a party of 10. It costs us about $600 to put on, and all the proceeds go to a local Rotary Club foundation. Oh yes, I serve my own beer at this event, as well as local wines.

Besides Warhammer Fantasy (WoC, High Elves, and now Dwarfs), I also play/paint/collect minis for 40k (Dark Angels, Chaos Space Marines, Space Marines), Malifaux (Guild), Warmachine (Khador and Menoth), SAGA (Anglo-Danes), LOTR/Hobbit (Galadhrim), Dystopian Wars/Legions (FSA and Prussians for both games), and Flames of War (US and Germany).

I also have a growing addiction for Star Wars: X-Wing. Probably one of the best games to come out in years.

I've now been gaming for 30 years. My true love is Roleplaying games. I play a wide variety, from GURPS, Runequest 6e, to D&D and retroclones. I'm currently in love with the new Iron Kingdoms RPG. It's amazingly well done.

I also play computer games. I love computers in general. I love building them, and I always build my own. I don't go to hardcore on case modding, but my cases are nice, and always well built. Got to improve the airflow!

I don't really have many hobbies outside gaming. I do want to take up brewing my own beer at some point. I've never been one for sports, or the outdoors, though I used to do Archery when I still had a bow. I do enjoy shooting the few times I've been able to go. I want to get a 1911 .45, and I would love to get a semi-auto 12g Shotgun as well. Thinking about it, guns might be cheaper than my Miniatures addiction... lol!

I don't have much else in my life since I have been single again for the last 8 years. Not much you can do when you are unemployed and living in your mothers basement...
