    I think it’s the tabletop thing where you paint your miniatures for months and then don’t have anyone to play with

      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…
      Comment was about something different, if I understood correctly.

        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.
