Based on consumption tribe and gaming literature, this article examines similarities and differences between Warhammer gaming tribes in the U.S. and France. We discuss a number of cross-cultural themes based on in-depth interviews in each country. We then argue our results situate and synthesize the Warhammer gaming community in between postmodern and poststructural approaches, which suggests a rethinking is needed in terms of describing consumption experiences.

Abstract
Based on consumption tribe and gaming literature, this article examines similarities and differences between Warhammer gaming tribes in the U.S. and France. We discuss a number of cross-cultural themes based on in-depth interviews in each country. We then argue our results situate and synthesize the Warhammer gaming community in between postmodern and poststructural approaches, which suggests a rethinking is needed in terms of describing consumption experiences.
