Ah, I was being glib. It's from the Warhammer modelling community. Basically where you take multiple models types and meld them into unique configurations. Some of us in the more geeky enby community use it to mean ideal physical transition goals that do not align to a strict binary sex phenotype.
Ah got it. I’ve never played warhammer but looks cool. I dabble in Pokemon and mtg
I've played my share of MTG but dripped out of it pre covid. I could only ultimately afford one money sink at a time. Warhammer is very good at creating an addiction to paint. I would warn you off it if you wish to safeguard your funds. There's ways to go about it responsibility supposedly. Necromunda or Killteam are toted as such options... Probably just a gateway drug though.
Dollar for dollar though Gaslands is where it's at. Way more fun at the table and you play with whatever Hot Wheels and Matchbox you want to mod into Mad Max nonsense. Game takes about the same time to play as a Warhammer game but is way more entertaining.
Thanks! I have a 3D printer. Can I just make buildings and characters? What’s the money suck? Paint?
Mostly paint. Once you get that sweet sweet high pigment paint and all the fun technical paints it's hard to go back. One little bottle will set you back like 8 bucks. 3D prints generally don't have the detail of the character models and while lots of people use prints for terrain the actual models exist under severe copywrite and you can't participate in tournament events unless you have official models fully painted at least three colors (This exists basically to keep the core a painting based community and funnel more people towards the part of the hobby where gamestores make more money).
Like I said... Gaslands or if you really must - Mordheim. If you go Gaslands your local Toys R Us will supply you with everything you need for a game for 5 bucks. Your entry level Killteam is about 70 bucks just for the models.
Ah that makes sense. Gotta buy the official stuff. I miss toys r us. None around me.
