Reply To: Giving it all up. Just too frustrating…

So this morning I got an email that the restock of 95% of the regular scale Heresy stuff has apparently happened in Memphis. How interesting, the timing.

Makes me either more frustrated, or willing to crash through.

 

UPDATED – frustration still wins; I’ll sell off ALL my stuff locally, or use eBay if I have to.

My airbrush rig (3x professional level airbrushes and a dual-capable compressor) my spouse has convinced me to keep, along with the Createx “Professional” colours sets I have – I still have one goalie mask to paint, so I’ll need that gear for it, and will likely get more commissions from it; the rest of my my paints I can sell off – they are hobby level Vallejo, AK v3, and a smattering of GW. Don’t think I will need those…

Cancelled my pre-order of the Rogue Trader book with GW, too. Used to have a real copy, don’t need a repro.

I will flog my Orks still, I wouldn’t miss them. And my historicals. That will still generate $2-3000; I’m a former Golden Demon winner, so my painting standard is fairly high, even on an army basis, as is the conversion level. I liked to pull parts from all over to make strongly themed armies.

@phaidknott I used to paint for the GHQ Models catalogue – even 6mm can be as time consuming as 28mm! I’ve done three-colour camo on infantry (my modern French infantry for the catalogue have the tricolour on their shoulders, at 6mm!); highlights to flesh, weapons details. Just takes time and good brushes.
