Grown Men Playing with Toys
Join us as two best friends (strategic, stoic “Erik” and observant, energetic “Steve”) discuss topics and experiences that surround their world of Warhammer gaming.
Our goal is to balance sharing stories about our funniest, most frustrating, or straight up craziest Warhammer experiences (Steve’s goal) with deep, analytical thinking about the game and why it’s so enjoyable (Erik’s goal). Beyond that, it’s an excuse for two friends to talk and share how the lessons learned playing with our toy soldiers have enriched our lives and deepened our friendship.
Grown Men Playing with Toys
2 - We are our faction. We are legion.
In this episode, Erik and Steve discuss why playing 40K can feel so personal. They share stories about times that they became too invested in their toys, talk about why that may be, and discuss how to potentially overcome it while still loving your faction and models of choice.
