Pledge:  Get started on my Death Korps whilst I wait incredibly impatiently for Warriors of Athena to arrive from North Star.  Please let it be here this week.

Answer(s):

What is your personal take on the current situation on the miniature market?

I’m pretty happy with how things are at the moment.  With the decline of the mega-miniature Kickstarters there seem to be more things coming directly to retail and some games/companies are looking to ensure their miniatures offer is moving from stl to physical which I’m all in favour of.

Are there too many minis, games and companies?

There are certainly more than I can buy and collect 😀  That said I now get to choose the quality of miniatures I want rather than get stuck with only 1 or 2 ranges that might not work well together or look as good as I’d like.

Will we see a drought once G’Wullu puts out the next edition of 40k?

I think GW have their own market and many separate buyers.  For the rest of us, it will probably distract some of the generalists for a few months but the hobby butterfly of fancy will flutter in people’s brains again soon enough 🙂

Where will you be at the end of 2026?

Hopefully I’ll have moved 😀  As to the hobby, I’m hoping I’ll have painted more than I bought and that I’ll have some games of Warriors of Athena played and a newly painted Death Korps force to look at.
