Summary

In Episode 265, we explore what it means to be a hobbyist over time - from the first spark of excitement, to balancing life’s responsibilities, to rediscovering joy in unexpected ways. We’re diving into how the hobby grows with us, and how each phase of life brings something new to the tabletop.

This episode features reflections and insights from both our hosts and members of the community, sharing how their passion for Warhammer 40K has changed over the years, and what keeps them coming back. Whether you’re painting your first Intercessor or pulling out Rogue Trader-era minis, this one’s for you.

Join us as we celebrate the long game of 40K and the people who’ve made it a lifelong journey.
