Is anyone else board with 40K? I no longer have the drive I once did to paint my 40K stuff. I put my 40K stuff down and looked at my Fantasy stuff and it just hit me that I really enjoy the Fantasy models and I look at them different than I do my 40K models. I've always been into history and the Medieval times especially but 40K is what got me into this hobby. I can't say that I'm having painters burn out due to painting my Fantasy models. I even went to play a few games with my friends and even the games weren't as much fun as they once were. lol Maybe I'm just getting old.

I can understand getting board. Best way to get inboard is approach from a new angle. Read some of the books, create some new scenarios to play, develop personalized characters with new rules either from the fluff or even this community.

I'm not sure whats up with me at the moment, 40K just isn't doing it for me. I'm gonna give it a break and just work on my fantasy stuff and see. I was just wondering if anyone else has felt like that.

I'm not bored with 40k, I just think the game itself is pretty boring lol. On that note, I enjoy to a great extent painting the figures. In fact, if I never play another 40k game again, I could care less. I will still buy plenty of 40k stuff in the future to paint and for competition but as far as the actual game goes, I find there are other things that are far more fun. I know you have to make it fun and I do try (making funny voices, roleplaying, etc.) but I guess I don't view the game the same as the people I play against.
Where I live we have like 10 gaming stores including the GW stores and between the few that I have been to already, most of the players are assholes! I get a lot of praise for my painting skills but when it comes to playing, these people will just get pissy if things don't go their way, talk shit, and whatever else. I have to literally hold back from smashing these people whenever I see them because of how irritating it can be. What happened to just gaming for fun? I know the entire community is not like this but people take this shit so seriously and I can't figure out why. There is more to life than winning and losing at 40k and honestly I won't judge you as an individual if you win one game in your life or one hundred. I think maturity is somewhat of a factor but I have seen this idiotic behavior from guys older than me (and currently I am 30) so it goes both ways.
The other side of it is terrain. I cannot stand playing on a table where it is a sheet, a few pieces of terrain that are out of place, poorly made, and just do not capture the vision of what a 40k landscape would look like. The amount of time, money, and effort to create such a vision is a lot and I understand that, but I can't help the way I feel. I refuse to play with unpainted models either. I will even turn down playing against opponents who have unpainted models. I understand many of you don't have time to paint and that is fine, neither do I. I do however, make time to paint.
Sorry for writing a book here, but I am really hoping 6th edition does something to draw me in. I am currently thinking of starting a new army to paint but we will see. As it stands right now, I am just painting for fun/competition single miniatures at a time. I have high hopes for Dawn of War 3 as well since DoW2 is boring to me now.
Oh and Darkanis, buying my airbrush was the best move I have made to date when it comes to painting models. I bought the Iwata Eclipse HP-CS airbrush and a TC-700 Air Compressor. My only regret is that I didn't buy them both sooner!

I'm looking at getting an airbrush. I've been watching videos and I really think that is my next step. I was looking at AC Moores the other day at their selection, going to be doing a lot more research before I go spending $400-$500 lol the ol lady is gonna kill me as it is lol. I've been looking at my Space Wolves and I think once I'm able to get to painting again I'll mix them in between my Empire models.
