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 🙂

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

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

Painted one of the Guards with genestealer Cult skin as a tiny easter egg

One more sinner or the united colours of heresy,

John Bullock formerly of the minotaurs chapter.

Sister Doralys has taken armour of faith a little too literally or she’s a bit tapped :).

Either way the mini is stunning and usable in a lot of games and settings. From Raging Heroes

I think this wolsung car works great for a high end civilian 40k car, but I think most punk sub genres can work if dropped straight into #40k

What do you think?

No points last week but this week I got some stuff finished.

Starting points 70

Points earned: 25

Total points 95

Points calculations 

Built x 3 = 3 points

Finished = x7 normal (2pts each), 1 character (4pts)  & 1 large (4pts) = 22pts

Starting points 95

Points earned: 12
