This Christmas marked 20 years of warhammer and hobby gaming for me, and left me feeling rather conflicted- and a tad bit angry when I began to do an inventory last night...

Thanks to Age of Sigmar, Inflated Edition Model Counts, Constant new games, dozens of one hit wonder companies - it's a pile of plastic that is "worthless".

There is no room for it, I only have so much room for this crap and the stuff is in a glorified pile in my new basement. Even new, modern and "elegant" systems like XWing are not immune to this disease of disorginization and dis-intrest... So many wasted purchases and so many unused painted tin figures it's redicilious.

So, I hope I am not embarrassing myself- but today due to its in-numeral sins I hereby declare war on my Hobby Gaming- I am going to cut this pile of crap in two and make sense of it this year... Play more games and get rid of an enormous pile of old models and dead gaming weight.

pictures forthcoming mid January-

Do it. I've been selling off lots of random odds/ends that I simply won't ever get around to. I've kept my interests narrowed to a handful of projects and it's far more rewarding. My hobby goal this next year is simply to clean up my paint desk...organize my paints (order a new stand), replace my aging hobby tools and replace all of my beat up brushes.

I'll be watching the Bazaar with interest

You can never have too much crap.

Culling the herd is easy, but not buying more crap is the real challenge! I sell all the time, and then get new stuff! This year I also.hope to improve...

Not "no minis!", just fewer, and with purpose!

Cleared out all of my Necromunda and 40K last year, still need help rationalising what I have left.....

Before I retired, I collected a mountain of books, DVDs and figures to keep me occupied, but after 30 months I can hardly see a dent in it. Do I really need BP armies for SYW, Napoleonics and ACW?

I'm not throwing anything in the Bazar- I will make large boxes full of farming goodies-

If you pay for shipping, you get the box.

I'm already there

I did a sizeable cull a little while ago but really just want to rid myself of the excess "stuff"... it's frustrating just knowing it's there and won't like be used. So the solution is just to get rid of it.

Looking forward to hearing it how it goes!

Yep, I plan on a 'purge' this year as well.

And a straight up ban of Kickstarters filled with plastic miniatures....

Hah! No problem. Sorting the stuff, getting rid of it is easy. So easy, in fact, that I have done it dozens of times!

Timbor · « **Reply #9 on:** January 02, 2017, 04:06:05 AM »

This sounds like fun, and a good idea too! Though, I must admit I would be tempted to pay for shipping for a box, just for the surprise of what is inside!

None of us is immune to this strange fenonomem!!!

Several years ago I decided to replace my 20mm Wild West collection... with 54mm big boy's toys. The Imperial Decree I gave myself was that everything I had in 20mm would have to be replicated. I know have hundreds of Britains Deetail Cavalry, Cowboys and Indians. The town of Dead man's Gulch sports 15 buildings that are worth more than my real house. When I went really zoony and the Railroad arrived it was in the shape of the 'Prairie Rocket' train set, I could have bought the real 'Flying Scotsman' for the price of that little bleeder! There's three Cavalry forts and an Indian village, herds of Buffalo, Grizzly bears, rattlesnakes and vultures...

When will this lunacy ever end!!!???
