The Great Wargaming Survey 2024

Anything over 1000+ on the scale is potentially dangerous and the individual should seek treatment from appropriate professionals immediately.

I do feel that the estimates for how many unpainted miniatures one has, are monumentally lowballing expectations though. I mean; only 1000+ as the largest choice? 

True, and there's a scale factor at play here too, are 1000+ unpainted 6mm figures the same as 1000+ unpainted 28mm figures? Oddzial's Osmy's 3mm infantry comes in (not sure if it's changed lately) packs of 150 figures. I have more than seven of those packs around here...

Or as I intend to do; re-classify them as Grave Goods.

My children have threatened to bury me with my unpainted figures arrayed around me like the Chin Emperor and his Terracotta Army.

I agree with the scale playing a part. I am down to 1239 unpainted 28mm figures which almost fits on 6ft one shelving unit.   The 2335 ~15 Warlord Epic ACW unpainted miniatures fit in one big box. Still a lot to paint but much easier to store.   

Being buried with the painted figures would be better for afterlife gaming.

Well, IIRC his were actually painted when he was buried with them, so get crackin' at getting an army of craftsmen assembled first to paint your army of diminutive grave guardians.

AFTER you die, I hope?
