I’ve been following a similar pattern with regards to miniature purchases over the last 12-18 months. I’m now considering getting a 3D printer for the purpose of printing terrain pieces for the games I play.

Most of my purchases recently have been rule books for war gaming and RPG. I’ve worked out which games I want to keep and play, so now what I need more than anything is terrain for those games. I did start purchasing MDF terrain but it gets very expensive when you’re buying for multiple games. So I decided that long term getting a 3D printer might be a cheaper option. As I play games in 15mm and 28mm in various genres and some terrain will double up I’ll still need a decent variety to make games interesting.

I stopped buying into Kickstarters a few years ago and I think the last one I did was around 2016. In fact I no longer go on the sitesite and? this has helped reduce my purchases dramatically.

I’ve no intention of jumping into any new miniature games in the near future. I need to build and paint what I currently have in my Grey army.

For me the realisation that I already have too much has occurred over the 12 months in lockdown and on furlough.  I managed to paint around 500 miniatures and it didn’t significantly dent the Grey army.
