Is “WAAAAAGH!!” A Mantra?

A couple of you have been aware of my nascent foray into miniature wargaming, specifically Warhammer 40,000. It’s a pricey hobby, but I believe that if it’s always going to be as relaxing as it was tonight– wherein I spent two hours just pulling pieces off of the plastic sprues and organizing them, with but one test gluing out of sheer enthusiasm– this might be one of the more pleasant uses of my time than I had initially suspected. It looks very daunting at first blush, and to be perfectly honest I was hesitant to start it up for fear of it taking more time than I have. In a way it probably still will: I have yet to even purchase paints. But assembling them is, surprisingly, a serene experience and one I’m interested in continuing.
Plus, once it’s all done, I’ll have an army of bloodthirsty Orks at my sole command. Serenity now, power trip later.
