Hobby reset

After my post yesterday I was determined to get some things set in motion. So today, I dug out all my unfinished models out on the table – this isn’t including all the ones still stuck in boxes not even put together yet (I wasn’t ready to be that demoralised!)
This was to see where I was at and which ones I’d like to finish off between now and the rest of the year.

There was more than I was bargaining for so it was a good exercise in seeing what I have in terms of models. I am sure my collection is nothing compared to some, but when set out like this, it’s pretty intimidating.

I gave myself the goal of 50 models – I cut them down to 52 (I think) as what’s the point in painting half a unit/band of followers!

There were some models that were easy to count out – some of the old Lizardmen models from the previous version of Warhammer Fantasy battle that hadn’t even been started, for example. Having said that some of these lizards also made it into the 50, because they just need basing!

Other easier ones to put aside were the army of Baratheons; mostly because there are a lot of them and I’m hoping to rewatch/read Game of Thrones and get inspired by how much Stannis is a dick. I did keep the four horsemen unit for the game though, they look like great models to paint.

Others that got the chop early were some of the larger models. I am not ready. See you later Shalaxi Helbane.

This photograph looks a lot less intimidating. Admittedly, some are nearly finished already which helps.

What remains:
A unit of mounted Baratheons for A Song of Ice and Fire.
Rattlebone & Warbane (GodTear)
Keera & Warband (GodTear)
Finvar & Warband (GodTear)
Skullbreakers Warband (GodTear)
Callis and Toll (AoS)
3 Primaris Space Marines (40K)
Some Stormcast Eternals (AoS)
Some gross nurgle thing!

Doing this has made the whole hobby ‘thing’ feel like I can tackle it again! The first step is going to be to undercoat the models that haven’t been sprayed yet.
Then to decide which one to pick up first!
