I'm also starting to accumulate and paint figures for my new (kept it at bay for about 30 years) WSS project. BUT, this week alone I've been toying with the idea of resurrecting my 30YW project, launching my VBCW scheme, getting into naval (ACW and Anglo-Dutch wars) and 28mm Napoleonics (French, Dutch-Belgian, Prussian or Austrian!?!).<br /><br />It's quite a common condition amongst wargamers because without it many companies would go bust.

Something maybe a bit more serious than what you describe ;)<br /><br />I think if someone doesn't have the compunction you describe then he isn't a gamer! It's not the disease it is the fact of our existence. If not, why do we all have a lead mountain? <br /><br />I do this all the time. I have 7 different spaceship fleets, parts to convert another and am in the process of buying ships for an 8th. I almost never get a chance to play spaceship games. my bits-box is a *bits-closet* literally. Granted I need to keep a stock for my work, but it's a handy excuse. I have 5 large armies in stages of half painted down to spru. So many skirmish and blood bowl teams. Our group has been doing Weird WWII, which I got sucked into, making 3 different forces, and then Saga came up and Ive bought two armies. I also feel tempted to start in on 15mm element base fantasy armies. <br /><br />Any new period or genre I get into I also *must* have 2 factions for it. I start thinking 'what if I need to get someone else into it? I need an opposing faction." <br /><br />I'm hopeless.Laughing Ferrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649878935225675051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1581073256021644369.post-72398735255082374062012-04-12T19:58:34.433+01:002012-04-12T19:58:34.433+01:00Now you know I'm not a gamer, just a painter, ...Now you know I'm not a gamer, just a painter, but I'm jonesing bad for some new stuff. The Dark Templer got me hooked on Malifaux and I'm not done with the figures I've got. Right now I'm trying to find an excuse to buy them. It goes something like this "Anne, you've got armored figures to paint and you don't know a feckin' thing about painting armor. You need more practice with capes before you do the critter you have so really buying those Malifaux figures would benefit you as a painter." I've almost convinced myself. Next I have to convince the Hubby.<br /><br />I'm terribly sorry to hear the job is ending luv. I hope something opens up for you in the meantime and I'll add you to my nightly prayers. I know you're lapsed, but I'm not and I may have some pull with the big guy upstairs so I'm calling in those chips on your behalf.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681799401614263953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1581073256021644369.post-62085040071327951952012-04-12T19:51:28.261+01:002012-04-12T19:51:28.261+01:00Kris, you can't stick with one thing for more ...Kris, you can't stick with one thing for more than five minutes.
