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.

Sounded like it was tabletop wargaming with Napeleon instead of Yarrick.

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

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.

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
