Yeah, I'm one of those people too
Been painting Games Workshop miniatures for some time, like this fella:
and I love playing games which involves dice :-) Bordgames, strategygames, you name it :-)
I've recently been playing a game called Heroclix, which is like a tabletop game with Superheroes (yeah, capes and spandex stuff, love it :D) and though the miniatures come pre-painted, I can't help myself, I have to modify and re-paint them occasionally :D
I even have plans for a strategy computer game based on tabletop gaming, but I need to get my tech in a better shape before I tackle that one :-)
