Going to be a busy time painting wise. I have to finish off a flames of war army. I have been working on it all month so made good progress we should be finished worse case at the end of the month but ideally this week hopefully.

Once they are out of the way I have both a Witch Hunter warband for Mordhiem to start work on and a Soulblight GraveLords army to start. I am trying to reach painting 100 minis by the 6th May.

Did you ever completely fall for a hype train only to fall right off it the moment it was delivered? This can be hobby related but not restricted to our hobby here.

I think as a lot of people mentioned Kickstarters are main cause of failling off the hype train. You are often buying the games 18 months in advance often by the time it comes around you have moved on hobby wise. The reality is often worse, the game is delayed, you have to put up with the bunch of BS with additional fees, lack of communication, out right fear you might not get anything.

The whole kickstarter model can be draining at best, pretty depressing at worse. Mythic “Bloody” Games managed to kill any will for me to even unbox Darkest Dungeon when it finally arrived.

I have personally stopped using kickstarter I dont feel like I have missed out. When I see the complete mess Battletech, Wargames Atlantic and Mini Wargames kickstarters have been, how long they have been deplayed while those companies have all focused on other products even retail over delivery of the items people backed. Kickstarter is a mugs game once they have your money you no longer matter.
