This came in the mail today. I don't have to ask permission or beg to spend my own money anymore. I don't have to be shamed or called a nerd for taking part in a hobby I enjoy. Live your own life gentlemen.

The word "hobby" is not in a SIMP's vocabulary! Unless it is his wifes hobby lol

PabloAsscrowbar · 2018-06-19T10:34:39+00:00

If you are married, there are many hobbies for husbands as well.

Housework, cooking, being abused, watching chick flicks

And don't forget, you get a bonus Nintendo Switch for Christmas

A fellow wargamer? The Emperor approves.

MuhTriggersGuise · 2018-06-19T10:11:03+00:00

Man, what a world we live in where a man celebrates being able to buy some simple paints for a hobby. Good on you for finding something you enjoy. Sorry you were treated poorly for it in the past.

ShoehornJackson · 2018-06-19T07:49:35+00:00

Next step: getting an airbrush

Elkubik · 2018-06-19T08:12:58+00:00

Oh man, what're you painting?

Going MGTOW you need hobbies what ever you love,,,, i think its amazing to see men develop there hobbies what ever that is.

Good for you bro, i am looking into more hobbies myself being single is amazing but we need to find things we love to do to avoid boredom

Phantom_Spark · 2018-06-19T09:48:26+00:00

Such a tease... now I want to see what you're working on! Congrats on the supplies though. I love building models as well.

Banincoming · 2018-06-19T13:43:20+00:00

Neeeerrrrrddddsssss (I spent a lot of time on my IG and Skaaven armies)

2018-06-19T16:04:27+00:00

I always felt like I was walking on eggshells around women. I could never be myself. I constantly had to put up the "cool guy" facade and never let out the secret that I was into this kind of stuff. So much time wasted on what she wanted to do because I was chasing her approval, her pats on the head. I wish I had picked this up ten years ago.

Griever114 · 2018-06-19T10:06:54+00:00

Well done brother I would love to see your work!

2018-06-19T11:48:19+00:00

40k or OG WH?

NordHamsteri · 2018-06-19T11:07:29+00:00

Nice. Im using GW paints and army painter for just undercoats. I dont think (miniature) painting was nerdy ever thou. Its basically functional art which has other purposes than just being in the display shelf. If someone calls the best miniature painters as nerds then he would be calling Picasso etc. nerds.

justicecantakeanap · 2018-06-19T12:48:27+00:00

You know what?

Your post inspired me and i bought all i need to start this wonderful hobby.

Thank you!

2018-06-19T13:43:23+00:00

My dad still does this today! He uses solder metal in a cast, and produces army men and other figures. He's been doing it for at least 30 years. Being a "nerd" is awesome.

2018-06-19T17:44:26+00:00

Make sure you post the models once youre happy with them

MesaBoogeyMan · 2018-06-19T17:58:42+00:00

Yeah, but 7 seconds of busting a nut is so much more fulfilling......

HaywoodJablomie · 2018-06-19T12:31:27+00:00

Anyone who shames you or calls you a nerd for taking part in a hobby you enjoy isn’t worth your time. It’s legal, doesn’t hurt anyone and it’s something you enjoy.

I was shamed by an ex for my hobby. I collect hockey/baseball cards. What’s the point? It’s pictures of hockey players on small pieces of cardboard? Then she saw what kind of money some of these things can pull in (ooh! I like money!). Sorry bitch. Money stays in my PayPal account, where I can buy what I want and you can go. (I don’t do it just for the money, I sell cards I don’t want and buy ones I do with the proceeds)

To be master over your own time is the greatest freedom a man has. Protect it.

Jackrabbit710 · 2018-06-19T13:42:18+00:00

I’ve just bought this same set! Practiced building a little huey, now working on the Red Baron Fokker DR.1

2018-06-19T14:48:07+00:00

My nigga, you do you!

Duchat · 2018-06-19T15:31:12+00:00

I think that might be excessive for SW:L, GW has lots of very bright colors that you may never use in that game with its dark, earthy palette.

Edit: perhaps you could find a Cadian army starter paint set, or one of the other paint lines that focus on more realistic colors.

MrWoofles · 2018-06-19T16:32:49+00:00

What army are you painting?

dayone_27 · 2018-06-19T16:38:47+00:00

Respect my brother! Life is good when you escape the bullshit shaming trap

dinnerwithfunions · 2018-06-19T16:42:08+00:00

Nice. Is this paint set for army/military models and miniatures? I’ve always wanted to get into that war hammer game but the pieces are hella expensive and I don’t know anyone who plays.

2018-06-19T16:55:56+00:00

It’s a good feeling isn’t it? I remember that relief too once day I realized how free I was without a wife.

2018-06-19T17:04:53+00:00

Women won't understand this becuase it takes time and patience something they lack.

Secret_Combo · 2018-06-19T17:16:57+00:00

This is amazing

2018-06-19T17:19:48+00:00

Women hate men's hobbies. At best they'll tolerate it but belittle it. As if spending all day gossiping with friends or tapping away on a phone is somehow a productive activity.

2018-06-19T17:20:19+00:00

Is this for WarHammer? I've recently been told this has been a very popular game for decades but I had never heard of it before.

st8ovmnd · 2018-06-19T17:51:29+00:00

Hell yeah brother!

stavrosg · 2018-06-19T18:27:21+00:00

Enjoy my man. Enjoy

2018-06-19T18:48:59+00:00

Wargaming and mgtow is a good combination :)

Like my ex-girlfriend say, I will always remember it, I love playing chess and I tried to show her how to play and she said with a grind of superiority on her face:

"Pffff, Women don't play chess, women get laid"

squidjibo · 2018-06-19T21:29:47+00:00

Can you show us a photo of what you paint? Good on ya

2018-06-19T21:52:31+00:00

TB409 · 2018-06-19T22:36:00+00:00

Can you link some work you've painted I would love to check it out

Futureman999 · 2018-06-20T04:26:28+00:00

Hey OP, do you know Lindybeige?

Knoxis · 2018-06-20T10:25:03+00:00

You say nerdy but unless that paint is going on some buildables like soke warhammer or so mech kits i wouldnt call it nerdy. But since i play a lot of video games my idea of nerdy may have different connotations.

striaghtWHITEmale · 2018-06-19T11:39:52+00:00

I'd still call you a nerd lol, but hey, either be a nerd or work for one
