Please note that this thread is for points of apathy, uninterest, and indifference.

1) Modern they-are-still-fighting-this-one conflicts

2) TV programmes in 28mm

3) Vast worlds with amazing back-stories and a range of four figures and one teleporter


I had more points of apathy, uninterest, and indifference when I was younger. More or less anything apart from the above interests me now. Apart from ugliness.

I'm even giving historical figures with goblin faces a second look. But painting time is too valuable to simply pleasure an interest. I mean, it's a lot of effort painting uniforms. I wouldn't want second thoughts about adding a green face.

QuoteI have gone back to simple coats of basetex

I can'tg be bothered with flocking bases and have used basetex for years but I sprinkle a bit of fine sand on the wet basetex then a very quick dry brush with a suitable colour looks ok.

Indifferent to ACW, WW3 and Steampunk. Oh, and fantasy, although I don't mind gazing upon Lord of the Rings armies.

I would have thought that was at least a pet hate >:(

Kudos to the man, though, spending Hogmany rebasing figures.

I don't really care if I win or lose as long as the game was fun and tense, the rules made sense and everyone enjoyed themselves.

As to periods, well... I suppose

Modern jet air combat
Submarines
Post-zulu colonial
Chinese Civil War
Finnish Civil War

Cheers,

I object  :o

Although I must admit until relatively recently the first was true for me, despite where I live  ;)

The second is what got me hooked on the hobby, only took me 38 years to get armies for  the period, and I still haven't finished them ;D

WWII naval in the Pacific, but only some of that is in the southern hemisphere :)

I've just noticed that that most of that is between 0- 10 degrees south  :o
