Anyone seen my Mojo?
« on: 29 August 2011, 11:18:45 PM »
Wandered out to my garage for a painting session a few times this week, but the muse has fled and I can't be bothered.  Hope it passes soon..............  :-[

Try painting something different....but don't force it.
Your mojo will return...it's just having a wee holiday.

I'm sure it will; my advice for what it's worth, don't push it. Do something else; read some books, watch some movies,. go hunting for eye-candy on the web. Even, if you can be bothered, do some boring painting that you've been putting off coz there's more interesting stuff. If nothing's interesting, may as well basecoat that unit that's at the back of the drawer... you know the one.

I reckon you'll get your mojo back soon enough.

EDIT: yeah, pretty much what he said.

Mine has been gone for more than a decade now. Hopefully they didn't find each other in the night and ran off together.

I'm with you there Joroas, happens to me from time to time. I walk away from the hobby, have nothing to do with it and do dull normal things like watch telly, DIY, visit the family, go shopping with the missus........... My mojo is usually back in no time.

Chin up old chap.

And absolutely this...^^

I can tell you that the same happends to most of us I belive, but as allready stated, do something else and it will come back to you, sooner or later. I usually go watch cool items on the internet, get envious and get back to building.

You spent too much time with the latest edition of WH?  ::)

Been there, done that... two different ways to handle it: 1) find something completely different to do with your time for a while (waste of time!), 2) read some rules, get some games organized with the stuff you have, and you'll pretty soon feel and urge to add this or that to your collection....

Thanks for that, I need to pull out a character figure that I can love and concentate on.

As for the WH rulebook, I have one on the shelf but I failed the compulsory fitness test needed to pick it up and hold it  ..............  ;)

I understand that the next 40K book will require a forklift...........  :D

Not surprising, then, that most WH players like heavy rock.
