For these often the journey is the destination, I think.
But also, I only know about the Dnd and Warhammer fantasy stuff like my son is involved with…

Yeah, painting itself is probably the main hobby at that point.
Over at !tabletopminis@lemmy.world there seems to be a fair amount of historical minis posted, though it is likely less popular than fantasy settings
I have seen historical minis in online painting communites and even considered getting a few when I played 40k to use as cultists or conscripts. They seem to be far less popular than fantasy and science fi minis.
Warhammer with a WWII Historical setting. It’s all still a thing. They’re arguably at their highest popularity too. The pandemic was a gateway for a lot of people into both hobbies.
What’s that?
Some kind of LARPing or more the tabletop thing with historical setting? Is the latter even still a thing? Only know it from old movies…
I think it’s the tabletop thing where you paint your miniatures for months and then don’t have anyone to play with

That are the ones I have seen in old movies.
Never encountered it in RL up to now, though…
