Primed and Ready for Paint

I have the following miniatures primed and ready to receive paint, so why don’t I get on the ball? One reason is I forget about the miniatures or I get side-tracked with other projects. The biggest problem though is that I seem to get more out of the procurement than preparation of the procured.

This post will replace my customary “Projects For…” for some time to come. You can aspect a few additions to the list as I acquire new miniatures. In addition, my workbench is still cluttered with half complete projects that need my attention.

I need a paradigm shift, a new reason for my purchases. Perhaps I should make it a goal that every miniature I purchase must have proposed purpose. For instance, these miniatures will be used in game play, or on some diorama. Collecting a particular miniature just because of its type or size or because of its aesthetic should become an nonviable proposition.
