I did not realise that our 'small fighters' actually had their own day until March 5th last year.
Anyhow, this is a day to appreciate the miniature warriors who have stood proudly on our tabletops, bookshelves, and battlefields for generations. Whether you’re a collector, a wargamer, or simply someone who grew up with these little figures, today is the perfect time to honor them.
Here are a few ideas for how to celebrate them:
- Set up a battle – Only for the set up it self or to play a wargame.
- Show off your collection – Share pictures of your favorite soldiers online or with friends.
- Restore and repaint – Give some love to your worn-out miniatures with fresh paint and repairs.
- Teach someone new – Introduce a friend or family member to the hobby.
No matter how you celebrate, take a moment to appreciate these tiny troops who have brought strategy, creativity, and fun to so many.
