Although now a somewhat obscure figure, Scruby's efforts had an impact on the evolution of subsequent games. The existence of the military miniatures hobby provided an audience for the earliest Board Wargames . Scruby's fantasy miniatures predate the release of Chainmail , and Gary Gygax has said their existence was one of the spurs to Chainmail's creation; Chainmail, of course, served as the inspiration for Dungeons & Dragons . Today, military miniatures gaming remains a small hobby, but miniatures games with science fiction and fantasy settings, such as those popularized by Games Workshop , as well as collectible miniatures games such as those HeroClix reach wider audiences.
