Facing My Fears in a $10,000,000 Warhammer Castle!

[@OrionsBeltMinis]

I recently posted a video on my own mental health and was so scared to do so. However seeing you open up in this video makes me feel so much more confident about my decision to do the same. Thank you for that, Louise ❤️

[@roguehobbies]

I just got recommended that video after mine!! I'm gunna watch it now :)

[@packcrackergoose7111]

@@roguehobbies If I could give you two any advice, having watched both videos, is that when you are in a scenario where your insecurities or anxieties are coming into play - take your time. Work it out. If I were to play with you, Louise, you could take all day to get through it. Wouldn't impact my fun levels at all.

[@samhoban2509]

Such a great vid. Thanks

[@roberttanguay8532]

Having suffered with my own mental health issues myself, I not only commend you but admire you for your incredible bravery for opening up regarding your own struggles with mental health. Just imagine how many people you have helped by doing so (if it helps 1 person or 100 people) it starts them on too a healing path that could have been too scary to begin prior to witnessing your own bravery. Thank you so very much 😊

Just showed this amazingly wholesome video to my partner to distract from some of her anxiety about an operation tomorrow. She found it amazing to hear someone describing dyscalculia in such a similar way to how they experience it, and then going one step further to describe the difficulties in playing games and yet doing it anyway. This representation really matters. It made them do a (happy) cry. Because crying is cool.

Thank you for all you do from a nerdy Australian man haha

[@seax_miniatures]

Thank you for talking about dyscalculia and how it puts the fear of god in to tabletop gamers who have it! I hate being the reason D&D and Warhammer sessions slow or pause because of my brain being unable to add basic numbers, and it has definitely given me enough anxiety over the years to avoid games with people I don't know well. I completely relate!

[@roguehobbies]

The more I talk about it the more people I see who relate! It's really good to know you're not alone

[@alexrose6166]

Yeah. Same. It can super embarrassing to stand there with a silly look on my face trying to do primary school math.

[@Zectifin]

as someone with ADHD I can relate to feeling like shit for slowing down a warhammer game. What did you just do on your turn? I have no idea. I lost interest and zoned out. This is why games with alternating activations sound much more interesting to me than entire army turns.

[@samuelharmssambamsjm269]

I can empathise so deeply that that fear of actually playing warhamner. I have Dyslexia, and mild Dyscalculia, which pair very nicely with my general anxiety and ASD to make the idea of playing even a casual pick-up game intimidating. Thankfully, in my experience ours is a lovely community, more than willing to tolerate me struggling to count my dice or recall rules immediately if I explain the reasons. Also, i do things like pre-sort my dice in to different coloured blocks of 10 and make cheat sheets with which strats apply to which units etc. Also, totally get having to have give yourself a job to cope in a social situation as someone who immediately looks for tables to move or mugs to wash up 😅

[@Cody_the_Photon]

Hi Rogue Hobbies, I recently discovered your channel. I didn’t know what to expect when I started watching this video but I am glad I watched it. I have always dealt with anxiety that stops me from enjoying what I love the most (miniature wargaming). I have had my fair share of terrible opponents that really hurt my self esteem and that made me quit certain games. Even to this day I have reservations playing new people but I am slowly coming out of my shell especially with the new miniature community I take part in (I play Malifaux) I feel like the best thing we can do for a hobby and a community no matter what game you play is just to be friendly and welcoming. We all deal with our own stuff and usually find miniature gaming as our safe space or what we do to relax. It is a great feeling once you becoming part of a group especially with a group of people you share something in common with :)

[@saltykrug]

Hey Louise! I had never even heard of your condition till you mentioned it. Thank you for doing so, I imagine it was tough. It helps others when people take a first step cause that is always challenging for most people as well. Neat place that I'll have to visit sometime. I live roughly 9 hours drive from there so probably not next week or anything! Sigmar seems like the game for me in as I prefer the fantasy over the sci fi. I mainly just paint minis at work on lunch or down time for fun but I'll be playing games soon enough! Glad you had a great visit to our country. Cheers!

the thing I love about this hobby is overwhelmingly, people are just so excited to share what they love with people and want them to feel included. The fact that someone who's been such a cornerstone in the Warhammer world for a long time was loved for doing her own thing and starting this channel and subsequently was invited to hang out at a tournament across an ocean and was made to feel like one of the gang is really just what makes everything so special to me.

[@Spaniard727]

Feelings and emotions are part of the human experience and are so often overlooked and ridiculed. Crying in the Frank frazetta museum is not only normal, but the ultimate response for the feelings the power of art should be able to invoke on us. I know I cried my eyes out when I went to the Star Wars costume exhibition in Saint Pete, FL. Me, by myself, a 35 year old 6’ 2” long haired, bearded, construction worker standing in a room full of people looking at me cleaning my eye and nose waterfalls with tissues a kind lady had given me out of her purse. It’s a beautiful thing and it should be accepted and cherished by all.

[@PlagueSlave28]

I really struggle hanging out with nerds. I went to my first gaming event in over 20 years a few months ago; it was for a very small, home brew undead themed game hosted in a very atmospheric church. I really didn’t fit in. Everyone was SUPER nice and I had a lovely time, but I couldn’t relate to a lot of the conversations. I know nothing about modern GW products, 40k lore or Star Wars. The gaming community is super inclusive, but I still felt like an imposter. I was hoping because of the niche Undead theme of the game to meet a bunch of freaks obsessed with horror films and metal, but I was the only weirdo there. I was kinda shocked & grossed out that multiple people gave me their non-business cards with their social media handles on and they, in-turn, were even more shocked when I confessed I don’t use social media. There was a lot of talk about the next KS game they were waiting for, complex rules interactions, pile-of-shame-bragging, warband-maxing, patreon accounts and airbrush setups and not enough about the stench of extremely rotten flesh or the riddle of steel. I didn't want to be a party pooper and point out that all of those things make me want to vomit mucus, so I nodded along and hoped that I could one day be as enthusiastic as these nice humans. I had a nice time, but when I got home I watched the latest GX1000 edit that had just been released and I felt super deflated. I realised I could have gotten rad or gone skab collecting that day instead of trying to be a real nerd. I think about the hobby a lot, but then I’ll stumble over a youtube video every now and then and it hammers home how much of a weirdo I am that I’ll never be able to be a nerd. I’ve really tried to go out and meet people locally at groups and shops, organise the sort of games I want to play (i.e. Cave Evil, Mordheim, Brawl Arcane) but have gotten nowhere. It’s especially frustrating as I only live about 45mins drive from Nottingham, arguably the mecca of miniature-wargaming and I still can’t find a bunch of moshers to roll dice and pretend to be evil with. It sucks. I have given up the hope of ever eating cave potatoes whilst listening to Impetigo and playing a Snotling Pumpwagon reskin of Gaslands with other heathens. I really, really, really hope those badass Bolt Thrower sweatpants helps infects unsuspecting and unfamiliar gamers! Doing the Chaos God’s work because I cannot.

I've got some very dear friends who gather twice a year for a big weekend of wargaming at a luxury lodge in Wales (not quite the scale of that amazing castle). The social side feels more important than the gaming and twice a year doesn't feel enough. But sharing those moments together mean a lot when months and years tick by so fast. Great vid.

Don't worry about it man. Everyone started out feeling like that. The main thing is that you need to find good people to play it with. Maybe ask at your local game store during a time where not much is happening. There are dummies every once in a while, but for your first few games you won't play in a tournament or something, so it's all gonna be fine.

Hey Lousie great video, I dont play just paint and I fell into the warhammer rabbit hole by chance, a friend gave me a model kit to help me deal with my depression and self harming from there another guy I know after I mentioned and showed him my first aircraft gave me a goblin to paint as something different. From there I found warhammer and now I've built and painted stormcast Eternals, Orks, space marines and nighthaunt guards and its four years now I'm still painting warhammer, just started a box of battle sisters and poxwarlkers and fighting the urge to buy a box of ork kill team the price is calling.

You have good instincts when it comes to taking care of your cranium, so trust them! Great video and ,please! More videos with you and Rob, you guys are 100% adorable ❤

I watched this video for like 3 times now over the last weeks and I just like it. I just like how open you are and how kind of cute the whole video is and it's just fun to watch.

I’d don’t know what I expected from this video, it wasn’t this, but this was exactly what I needed today. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Looks like an amazing time, and you got to meet Bud! He's one of the best things in Warhammer!

I'm going to be honest I would love to see some game commentary videos on your channel, I think they'd be awesome! Also, I recently found out I have ADHD and I've also been in that situation many times of wanting desperately for a specific group to like me and not being myself because of it. So I truly feel and emphasize for you there. Watching your work, honestly inspires confidence in me and very often gets me off my butt to attempt to complete all my unfinished Warhammer projects. So thank you for that and keep being amazing.

Very glad you decided to make this video. It's lovely to see a vlog with the context of your Instagram posts and understanding that it took a lot of mental effort on your part just to be there. You did great. Also, I did not realize you've only been doing KZbin for such a brief while... you see quite at home on the platform! Best of wishes. I hope you're doing a little better every day.
