Multitudinous, mind-numbing infantry squads. I just think enough is enough, at least in terms of infantry squads. Contrast that with the twelve battle sisters I have to paint to get oh, about a quarter of the points value of the smallest 40k game anyone would ever agree to play, and you can see why I’m kind of over it.ĭon’t get me wrong, 40k is a fun game, I’ve always said so, and it’s not like I’m getting rid of my armies or anything foolish like that.
Once they’re done and added to my domaru and keisotsu I’ll have a legal 150 point army, which is enough for small games. It’s a real struggle to force myself to paint twelve nearly identical battle sisters to match my other nearly identical battle sisters when in front of me are sitting a ninja with a sniper rifle and four soldiers who, while admittedly all in the same uniform, vary hugely in pose, face, hairstyle and even gender. I’m thoroughly enjoying painting my half-a-dozen Yu Jung soldiers for Infinity. I might pick up the odd vehicle, but to be honest I only want another hell-hound, maybe another russ variant. With my time and money being drastically restricted now by an extra family member, a reduced income, and an increasingly demanding workload, I think it’s time to put the brakes on and stop actively collecting. I mean I have more than enough for even the largest casual games, and the variety available to me pretty much covers all the units I actually find interesting. I’m starting to think after all these years that hey, maybe I have enough Imperial Guardsmen and Battle Sisters for my purposes. I’ve been preparing for our up-coming apocalypse game, and I have to say, painting GW-sized units of infantry is wearing pretty thin. No opinionated blow-hardiness(?) around here – I’ve actually been doing proper painting. I haven’t been my usual blogging self lately. There are totally going to be titans in our Apocalypse game it will be awesome.
