>Games Played
X-wing, 40k, Bolt Action, dabbling a little in Kings of War
>40k
Was the king for a long time, got shitty for a couple editions, allowing alternatives to grow. Now that 8th ed is out, seems to be quickly becoming king again. Mostly populated by relatively normal people, working adults with families, though some weird autists sneak in when they graduate from MtG.
>Kings of War
Fun, solid game, but in reality we all know it only has a player base because of WHFB's death. Still has a decent following, and they're fun to play with if you can get them to stfu about WHFB for 5 minutes.
>X-wing
Great fun game, very popular and deservedly so. Diverse player base, too, everyone likes Star Wars, right?
>Malifaux/Infinity
Oh, those are the games those weird smelly kids with the top hats play in the corner sometimes, right? I can't tell you if they're fun or not, their fans make me not want to approach it.
>Bolt Action
40k for history buffs, but don't tell them that. Mainly populated by old grognards, there's a solid belief among them that they are superior to people who don't play historicals, but they're honestly just the same shit but with olive drab. It's a fun game, and I enjoy playing it, but I don't fool myself into believing that its rules are that much different from the big names, because they aren't. Like I said, essentially just 40k for history buffs.

I'll never forget the first time I saw two people playing this in our LGS. My first thought was, "Wow, that is the most pathetic looking game of 40k I've ever seen."
Received the lion's share of 40k refugees when it went to shit for a few editions under Kirby. It's a cheap knockoff of 40k, hence its nickname in our store, "Poorhammer." Never played it myself, because the models all look like trash and the lore is horribly dull, everything about it is clearly just a shitty 40k rip-off, and now it appears to be dying in favor of 40k again. Good riddance, I say.
