I should follow your lead… did a sort today and my lead pile is never ending….
Never!!
I picked up my first CoC figures in the early 90's. I thought they would be good for D&D undead. I actually stopped gaming by the mid-80s so I never got around to painting them until about 3 months ago. A couple years ago I got on a Lovecraft/Mythos reading kick and had a sudden desire to paint the figures that I had just read about. Glad I had a small collection to begin with and have been adding to it ever since. I know I will "loose interest" in them in a year or so and go back to another renewed interest. But I also know that ultimately I will return to them again. That just seems to be how my hobby interests go. I have a pile of D&D, 40K, and War Hammer figures painted and unpainted. Not to mention tanks, aircraft, and trains.
