Warhammer – what a shame

Playing board games or imaginary role playing games as a kid is all part and parcel of youth. But when you deliberately set out to the shops to buy a certain game called Warhammer, that is a mentally disturbing condition. I first came into contact with Warhammer when I was at the shops and walked past a shop that had a bunch of fat middle aged men painting dolls and playing a game on a weird mini battle field. When I got home I researched what I saw on the internet only to laugh myself silly.

The jist of the game is you play your figures/dolls that have a point value capable of defeating the other army by winning with more point hits. They don't feel content to play on a table, and instead make a specially built battlefield, complete with mini trees, grass and fortress'.

I don't mind people taking part in such things in the privacy of their own homes, but when they take over a perfectly good retail location and sit there with their bum cheeks hanging out, pretending to be a war general, well that's just wrong.

They paint their figurines with the delicate strokes of a French pastry chef creating a royal wedding cake, and for what? To make their game even more time consuming? I just want Warhammer to be banned for the moral sake of society.
