The Great”ish” Hobby Clean up

I think Ive devised a realistic plan to try to reduce it. No actual picture as I don’t have a lens wide enough.

I know I wont be able to just not buy anything so a blanket no buy policy won’t work.

I know that painting to a deadline or target also helps (getting minis ready for D&D and da red gobo for Christmas etc)

So I’m going to put myself to the following rule;

I can only buy a new mini if I’ve earned it by tackling the pile of shame, Using the below scoring system.

Not a lot of hobby time last 2 weeks this is my progress on the pile of shame, 16 minis assembled 1 painted and finished.

18 points accumulated

Total points = 18

Finished minis 

Corvus paladin of the raven queen

This is my character for Adventure League a Hexblade paladin, personality is a bro trying to be an edgelord and failing”

White hair because I watched a lot of the witcher and there was just too much black on the mini with black hair too.

Bit more painting this week, rather than building got a build day set for today while i try to stay calm watching the rugby. 

13 points accumulated this week

Total points = 31

enough point to buy one mini 🙂

Finished minis 

Pilot 

From crooked dice Colony87 first of Wave 3 finished. Very much influenced by the Xwing pilots in Star Wars.

Hill Giant

DND group are going to do Storm kings thunder soon which means giants are needed.

Saw this 3D print on Etsy and needed to get him.

Last pic is a size comparison against the only official hill giant I have.

Purple”ish” Worm

From Reaper minis got this in the Kicksterter ages ago but didn’t know what to paint it as until i started playing DND.

went purple but not too purple.

Ultramarine lieutenant

Finally got this dude finished so i could get at least one Ultramarine finished for  #marchformacragge

Happy with how he’s come out but don’t think the edge highlights are coming through very well in the pics

Purchase!

first purchase since i started the point system!

One mini costs 30 points so down from 70 to 40 points

Pretty happy with the progress this week especially given the Doom Eternal Distraction 

17 points earned

4 finished (2 pt each)

Got two more ultramarines over the line and finished

Albion Rifles Sergeant

Sergeant Jones of the Albion rifles reporting for duty, another mini that was just waiting to be finished now finally finished.

I’ll probably use her as a Rogue Psyker in Blackstone Fortress( there’s a size comparison)
