Just to get a feel with the community's thoughts on tabletop gaming (the gaming you did before the bright pixelated glory of video games) and, particularly, miniature wargaming. I know we have some spell slingers who love Magic the Gathering, but what about those who love crafting their massive armies to do glorious battle with another? Where dice decide the fate of men, and a single model with colors painted upon his/her grim visage could, in fact, cause your dice to roll better?
I know of several games of this sort, but those close to my heart are Warhammer, and its' sci-fi brother, Warhammer: 40,000. I run an army in both, Warriors of Chaos for Warhammer and the fierce Space Marine Chapter: Space Wolves. For those that have their own army/ies what force have you chosen?
For those that care, I have started a group for those like minded gamers who love to roll dice and watch vanquished foes remove their miniatures from the field of battle as fallen foes. The group is called Space Wolves and will feature miniature wargaming as well as video gaming events. Come join the Carnage [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_Space-Wolves/en/Groups/Detail?groupId=98384]here[/url].

I was going to get Space Wolves when I was more interested in the game/lore, but then I realized I'd never use them and they cost a lot.
