Self-isolation is feeding my Warhammer addiction
I haven&#x27;t played the game since about 2001, when my friends decided it wasn&#x27;t cool any more. They (we) moved on to Magic: the Gathering instead, which was a problem as I was the teenager with by far the least money in our group. My parents had just about accepted that Warhammer was expensive but intricate and time-consuming (equivalent to my dad&#x27;s train set in the 1950s), but <i>15 cards</i> for <i>£$€</i>? No way. I more-or-less agreed with them.<p>So anyway, in anticipation of having plenty of spare evenings and weekends in the coming months, I went to the Warhammer shop yesterday, and picked out one of the fantasy races. I bought the &quot;Starter Pack&quot;, a 10cm high hero I liked the look of, and the biggest and most expensive monster-heroine-sorceress-something for that race. Plus some paints.<p>It was probably a life goal of mine, age 14 or so, to be able to afford to do this.
