How bad is YOUR pile of shame?I must have 2000+ unpainted miniatures. 50 miniatures from Heroquest here, 20 dudes for pennies at a swap meet or bring and buy there, toy spaceships from the store. It all adds up even if most of it was acquired very cheaply. I'm not one of those with piles of unsealed nuGW FOMO boxes.In some ways, I must have like a hundred different manufacturers, it almost feels like having my own personal shop.
>>96698453about fifteen 15mm armies for DBA, Tyranids and Ultramarines waiting for near full options armies (at color scheme testing phase), at the moment making Mordheim warbands; some ww2 20mm also lurks for chance, keeping them to use in Chain of Command and similarso about half these towers from boxes in corner worth, but have smaller room
>>96698453A more important question is:How many minis have you painted last month?
>>96698453Wild. I'd buy your eldars if they're the cool old ones. I currently have a wraithlord, 5 blades and a war walker partially constructed. I had to stop because i threw out my hobby desk, but hopefully ill have one again soon
>>96698453You tell mehttps://pileofpotential.com/Luigino?project=83630141I have other non-dwarf miniatures I got for free OT found at garage sales/thrift stores etc. But I don't count those as I have no interest in them and they're only things I trade for more dwarfs.The list itself isn't 100% accurate but it's a pretty close approximation; I'd add maybe 20-30 minis to the painted section and 50-60 to the unpainted one
>>96698453I've been amassing 1/72 stuff since the Ukraine war started. But generally I paint 200-600 minis per year and try not to fomo into the latest new thing.
>>96698453My pile is relatively small. Not considering stuff I intend to just sell off, I'm looking at:>2 mercenaries for a mordheim warband>2 hired swords>10 beastmen>minotaur>terrorgheist >lord of afflictions>lord of plagues>6 gunslingers for a wild west game>about a dozen pieces of scatter terrain>about a dozen pieces of modest size terrain (1 story ruins, a farmhouse, that sort of thing)
>>96698453I don't have a pile of shame because I'm a historical gamer, not a GW pig. I don't just consoom products, I only buy minis I plan on using for a project and then I immediately start working on them when they arrive. There is actually a lot of time I spend WAITING for some minis to arrive in the mail because I finished everything and have nothing left to paint, and I use this time to build/paint terrain
>>96699702Absolutely psychopathic post
>>96698453>swap meetHow do you interact with other gamers without delousing them? Every single other person I have met irl who does tabletop is so gross I wouldn't let them into my house. >>96699702I bet you also think you're running a simulation of historical combat. God you people are so cringe
Proud to say I don't have a backlog or pile of shame. I paint everything because I refuse to play with unpainted models
It's mostly most of the old pewter Warzone armies, with a couple exceptions. Not pictured is a trash bag full of the alien vs predator: the hunt begins mini boxes.
>>96702524Better picture cus y'all are the only types who'd care
>>96702610Bet that weighs a load anon, all that chunky 90s metal. I have a Dragon jetbike that's like 400g of metalDid you see that guy that had acquired a huge chunk of the Warzone studio painted stuff he was selling off?
>>96702610Also what's that vehicle bottom drawer?It's not one of the Armorcast ones is it?
>>96702909Weighs a ton, just like the jetbike. And yeah that guy had a dragoon rocket launcher with crew, didn't share to the group how much someone paid him for that absolute rarity. Fuck that guy.>>96702945It's a lumpy resin Reaver I've shared here too, but made by one of the dudes in the old excelsior/ultimate warzone forums back in the day. All I've done so far to it is add abbadons trophy rack. Sad that whole forum went up in smoke just a few months ago. Double sad that Meta is replacing all the old forum websites.
I have far too many unbuilt kits but it's mostly not wargaming stuff. For the /tg/ stuff I have sitting around it's mostly stuff I bought because it was going OOP. I have a bunch of Warmachine stuff I grabbed when that died. I also grabbed a bunch of Infinity stuff that was getting replaced with newer minis. Both of those fit into one container so I don't think it's that much. For GW stuff I have about 5 boxes of the old plastic cadians I grabbed before they went OOP and also some Blood Angels kits I grabbed before they were replaced by the ugly primaris ones.
>>96698453Seems like you like buying instead of playing and painting. Shopping and collecting are your real hobbies.
>>96702524>a trash bag full of the alien vs predator: the hunt begins mini boxesAt least you've got the garbage sorted, I guess.
I've got a ton of Battletech minis to do, but I did recently finish painting up two battalions worth of mechs and vehicles in Davion colors. Gonna do another for Kurita next but I'm holding off until their forcepacks come out here so I can do more lore-friendly formations.
>>96702214any plans to paint your shelf lmao?
>>96703609It's ok to be angry you'll never get to unleash an oversized pack of hunting doggos from the so-so movie
>>96703658my thoughts exactly
