It sounds like a pipe dream to me. I'm convinced it's a life sentence for most of us lol
I find myself trying to focus only to find inspiration in new figure ranges or veering off at a tangent with existing projects. That said, I'm finding having too much stuff a burden. Consequently, I've been dumping the spoil pile from the lead mountain for a year or so. It's shrinking, albeit at a glacial pace. It's really quite liberating and the freed up space and PayPal balance are a welcome bonus.
No. I intend that in death my hordes of unpainted metal keep me company in the Great Beyond, while my soul continues in its unending search of the Holy Grail, aka the Perfect Napoleonic Ruleset. In order to (un)complete this quest I must hoard as many miniatures as possible. Gaming is just a secondary goal to keep me entertained in the meanwhile.This is The Way.
I’m almost at that point. Ran out of unpainted stuff recently and had to buy some more, but when the current list of 8 or so units is complete that will be me done. I will have enough! I have ancients, gladiators, dark age, crusades, ECW, 7YW, Napoleonics, Pirates, ACW, Wild West, Zulu War, WW2, Age of Sail, WW1 and 2 ships and WW1 and 2 aircraft.
Has anyone painted up what they think they need to have for the various genres/eras/games that interest them and have called it a day on the collecting and painting side of the hobby and now just relax and enjoy games with the fruits of their labor? I'm wondering if I can get to that kind of point. A few different factions for the genres that interest me so to keep things interesting and repayable, then just sit back and strictly play games when the opportunity arises. Maybe only buying some new rulesets to try with my completely painted collection.
So... anyone close to something like this? Would you even consider it?

I do have that hope in mind for some point in the future. After all, I don't want to one day be on my death bed and look over and see a bunch of unpainted figures ARRGGH.
To have the armies I wanted in a cabinet and be able to take them out and play with them when I like...that sounds a good goal.

I'm looking forward to painting figures in the afterlife. Just need to remind my relatives to pack my brushes and paint in with the other grave goods. It would be really embarrassing to turn up in Valhalla/A'aru with 1000 figures and no brushes :D
