[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9764561, member: 4534"] The long and the short of it is I've got to pare down my collection and perhaps change the focus of my projects. I first started painting miniatures many years ago to support my gaming endeavors. But the truth is that I spend far more time painting than I do gaming. In many cases, I'm painting miniatures for games I've never played or will likely never play again. I haven't played a game of Warhammer since 2023, and despite having at least three completely painted armies, GW makes it such a hassle to keep up with rules and point costs that I'm not inclined to pick it up any time soon. I'm going to start by packing up my Necron Army and attempting to sell it. I plan on setting the price rather low in order to move the entire lot in a short period of time. From there I'll figure out what to get rid of next. I'm not prepared to wholesale abandon miniature painting for the purposes of gaming. I'll stick with Star Wars Legion for a while as well as minis for fantasy RPGs like D&D for a while at least. But I plan on expanding to other projects. I just purchased a 75mm scale skeleton bust from Mindwork Studio this weekend, if I like painting it maybe I'll get more busts. The larger scale is nice considering my aging eyes. [/QUOTE]
