So why did I choose a Guard army? I dunno. I guess I have about 7000 pts in total, and very only about 1/4 of it is fully painted, with mayne another 1000 pts half-done.<BR/><BR/>I figured the endless cycle of buying new stuff would go on <I>ad infinitum</I>, but I was surprised to discover about 8 months ago that I actually have all the models I need for the force I'd planned...that's right: I've not bought <B>any</B> Guard models since then!<BR/><BR/>Okay, so I've maybe tinkered a bit with my still-virginal WFB Empire army, and I did finally get around to selling my budding Black Templars army, but now I'm just slowly working through painting up the masses.<BR/><BR/>SURE I'd like to replace my current Armoured Fist platoon with 40 better, newer models, and SURE I'd like a battery of quad launchers, 3 big tanks and a squadron of vultures from Forgeworld...but whilst money's tight and I'm moving house, it just ain't gonna happen. <BR/><BR/>And I've been firm for 8 months!<BR/><BR/>At least I'm not going to have to buy a new rulebook anytime soo- D'oh!<BR/><BR/>Oh well. <BR/><BR/>All I've got to do now is get everything painted up before some bugger releases a plastic valkyrie. Hmmm...what chance of success?<BR/><BR/>- DraxAdmiral Draxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476823273954165890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095529212148394439.post-14556564333142044912008-07-02T23:21:00.000-05:002008-07-02T23:21:00.000-05:00@innergeek: Wow, you're way ahead of me.

I've got 1st edition Rhinos that are converted to go back and forth between Rhino and Whilwind (back before you could buy a whirlwind) that are still not painted.

I do! Seriously though, I think of it as the hangover of GW collecting... "oh I'm never gonna buy another model till all these are painted"... then your wallet recovers a (tiny) bit...
