This has so much realism! I used to own a shop and one of the guys that worked for me had been playing since the 80s with his cousin and so i built them a huge table to play at. One of my friends was a lot like your stories main character, he had collected and painted multiple armies and knew all the lore he just could never find anyone to play. Long story short with those three coming up and playing nearly every day and being fantastic and enthusiastic teachers we built one of the largest followings in the south east. We ended up running one tournament that spanned months because we had so many players. It was awesome. I too am now alot like your main character. I was always too busy running things to play but my interest was piqued for sure. I have several armies and keep up with their codex changes but have noone to play with
