'Figure Wars'

Did you guys ever play Warhammer or a similar game? It is a board game easily recognized by the little figures of monster soldiers. They are usually custom made but it's not the rule. One can also buy them.



If you come across a board looking like a 3D model of a battlefield and see a few nerdy chaps carrying dice and little rulers while moving the figures - that's it - you are watching a Warhammer game in all its glory.

I've never played it, so cannot be sure of the actual rules but, from observing the game shortly on a few occasions, I've figured out it has to do with the distance between the figures, their characteristics and dice. Yes, there is the element of luck.

However, even though I doubt it can resemble chess from afar, there might be a bit of strategy in it, too. What I can tell with certainty is that some of those guys paint their soldiers with such a precision that it could be called artistic.

Today's generations are born and raised with computers. There is a more dynamic, more appealing computer version of the game in existence. However, actively playing a board game is a benefit as opposed to endless hours spent in front of the screen. The benefit would've been even greater if the game was played outside. Some little fresh air can do a lot of good.

Enjoy your day! :-)

i am not express your quality.because its alltime perfect and big.this figure wars travelling post really very excellent.i am not seen this post when before.this is a first time i see this types post.its really very big achievement for me.because i am learning alots of new thing of your everyday travelling and art post.. Your awareness is well-founded, given the development of the times, can be used easily, from video games, movies on TV, or real impressions on various television or internet news. But do not panic, Mother, because basically the child has understood that the game Skip-over that requires pretense.Although no word is used today, child experts if parents forbid boys to shoot at all, children will be triggered to be angry and rebellious. So relax, yes Mother, children just experimenting with imagination, really. They can develop sounds that are heard there when there is fire and are in the battlefield of battle.thanks to sharing for your great post..very well done..my dear friend.. @velimir take care yourself and best of luck of your great work.

I happened to play the computer game varhammer. I did not play the desktop, but I played a lot of other board games that look like this. I used to spend time with friends and board games. Such games create an agiotage and a "spirit of competition" among the players. A great way to spend time. Especially the big pluses of such games was that you could gather in the fresh air. The game allows you to use it in different places. But alas the trend has changed and such games have become less popular. The current generation spends time playing computer games.

I really liked the details and images of "soldiers" - figures. This is a good job. Much of this game depends on luck. Bones decide a lot :) Luck, Just like in life .... Almost.
Thank you

OH, you remind me of my childhood sir @velimir, we use to play with these kinda toys, sometimes we begin the fight for these toys, it was a great time.
An hour ago I was watching Guardians of the Galaxy 2014, you post has taken me to that film, where Aliens are there, They this kinda machine everywhere they are fighting with each other. some are good who want to save the earth or galaxy, some are bad who want to destroy every planet but in the end, those who are good wins and saves the galaxy. Thank you for taking us to our childhood sir @velimr
God bless you :)

If most girls love to play dolls, almost every boy can play war or shoot.

Son of Mother of one of them? If so, some of you may be worried about the shooting game - in which the opponent plays defeat and falls - will adversely affect the child's future.

It was hard to get anything more complexed then Risk when I was growing up in Croatia, but I remember that my cousin got some board game with many amazing figurines from his father that was a sailor. We spent whole summer killing goblins and whitches with our knights... What a great times :)

I always loved board games. I am entirely unfamiliar with this one, but it looks like they put some serious time into their game pieces. Very attractive presentation there.

But I'd always rather be outside. When I was a young man a group of us would play Risk once a week during the winter. It was just brand new, then...

Thank you for this look at game art. I appreciate it.

I love fighting titanic battles and saving money on my knight

Never played but sounds interesting though

Me encanta ver la guerra de las galaxias . jugaba muchos con los soldaditos de plásticos, mas que con muñecas. Me gustan las figuritas, excelentes fotos.

Me encanta el colorido de las figuras, muy buenas fotos, Me gusta ver con mi papa la guerra de las galaxias, y me gustaba jugar con mis primos policías y ladrones. Muy buen post @velimir.
