The Big Stocktake
The Beginning of the End
Where to start…
So it turns out I have my fingers in oh so many pies these days and I am fast running out of room in the games room. I can blame the development of home 3D printers and all the excellent new games coming out for that.
So Whilst travelling the 600 odd Kilometres home from work last week I thought it was about time I sat down and went through what I had and see if;
A) I really wanted to keep
B) How close I am to getting each started project to a point which I would call finished.
Obviously as gamers we all know that it is very hard to ever consider an army finished. For me I shall aim to get painted all that I have for at least two sides, plus at least a tables worth of terrain along with any markers, counters etc required to play. Any surplus I shall get rid of.
Any of my current collections, regardless of how ‘finished’ they are that I cant see myself ever using again I will aim to pass on to others.
I also plan to do the same with my terrain and rule book collection.
I am pretty sure that is all the figure collections, unless there is something hiding in a box somewhere.
As I progress with this project I will select something from this list, check to see if its all painted, paint what I need to get it up to a usable state, photograph it and knock out a few bits of terrain.
Sounds simple, but I think its going to be a massive undertaking.
Anyway, without further procrastination, here is a list of what I currently have.

Wow. This is quite the collection! Lovely stuff.
@stompie51, Thanks!
Its not something I am really proud of to be honest. It seems like I get easily distracted by the next shiny thing I see. I am hoping that by actually taking the time to look at what I have amassed it may embarrass me into taking control of my hording and getting my collection down to a more manageable level. Or failing that at least getting projects that have been started and abandoned finished to a usable state.
Either you are a completetionist or may want to keep just 2 factions for each game. But this may depend on the game. I am lucky to have one gamimng room and a roof top, which i will fill to my demise.
I think this is probably a good approach. For the larger games two armies and maybe more for smaller skirmish games. I know in the past I have bought way more than I’d ever use. I really hope that this project will highlight to me what I have collected and have not got around to doing anything with. It’s clear to me that over the years my interests have changed. Maybe it’s time I also made that change to my collection and let some stuff go to people who will actually use it for what it was intended.
