Other than this excellent site, what other wargame forums do you favour?

Lead Adventure has a lot more traffic than other forums so I tend to read this one mostly and it has a really easy way of catching up on what's new if I don't visit for a couple of days.

TMP (theminiaturespage.com) I read less and less nowadays..

The Wargames Website is now and still finding its feet a little so the forums aren't massively active and I still find them difficult to catch up on...

WD3 forum I still pop into occasionally but it is fairly quiet now.

I read TreeFrog Treasures forum for Toy Soldier news and chat

I very rarely look at Frothers now - I didn't like their last layout change so stopped reading it as much...

This is pretty much the only one I visit now

Just Warlord Games and occasionally League of Augsburg and Landships.

The Warlord Games Forum, LAF and The Wargames Website (TWW) are my favorite 'go to' forums these days.

Cheers,
Scott

LAF, The Guild and The Wargames Website mainly.

TMP just isn't anything like it used to be.

Tom's Boring Mordheim Forum is my main hangout other than here:

TBH the rules of laf prevent me from properly voicing my opinions on some of the other minis forums out there. Just assume its scathing with zero nice things to say about them both.

I second that.

The only other one I really visit is DakkaDakka, but it can't compare to the variety of games, periods, genres and mini ranges dealt with here. I visit Tactical Command and Specialist Arms every so often when I get a GW Specialist Games itch. Went to WD3 for a short while but it didn't really click. I've been meaning to look at the Wargames Website but haven't got round to it yet.

I like The Wargames Website, but the navigation is till a little awkward for me.

TMP can actually be a quite enjoyable site to read and discuss, but is not really moderated, so you have to stifle/ignore anyone that is annoying and disable all modern/politically aimed boards (IMO). It might take some time to get the right balance, but I consider it still worth my troubles.

I find the Pendraken forum quite enjoyable.

Frothers has a lot to offer on miniatures, but much less on games. You also don't have to mind reading a lot of swearing

WD3 and Loose Association of Wargamers are nice, but small forums that feel a bit like local clubs.

There are a lot of Facebook pages that are worth your trouble, if you don't mind Facebook. The Dutch Miniatures Wargames page for one, The Oldhammer Community and the Necromunda page are quite good.

Apart from this one, The Wargames Website and sometimes WD3. Occasionally I also visit the TooFatLardies Forum. Recently, the 15mm sci-fi Facebook group has been really nice and inspiring, it fills a gap after I left TMP because of… reasons.

LAF is pretty much the one and only for me, ironically first found from reading TMP.

TMP I am banned from but I still very occasionally post at Frothers.

I belong to a fair few other sites but very rarely view and don't post as I'd end up posting pretty much the same stuff as here and all that communication is no substitute for actually doing stuff.

One other place I do post is my project website, where I pretty much summarise my wip threads here, but as it's not a blog there isn't a comment facility so I'm pretty much talking to myself!

I will very very occasionally post on TMP, but that's about it. Mainly I keep an eye on a couple of the news blogs. Tabletop Wargaming News and Mini Créateurs are the main ones.
