During the move of the Squidmar studio to my new place, we went through ALL of my Warhammer and miniature boxes and counted every single unpainted one... It's a lot.

The Gimli clip was so perfectly timed, it nearly killed me.

It's no coincidence this is a common topic on nearly every wargame channel.

I’ve played 40k since the early 90’s and over the years have literally bought thousands of miniatures. About a year ago I made a conscious decision to sell off everything except my main army of interest (World Eaters). I then spent the last year painting the backlog of my main army and now have over 5k points of painted models: far more than I’ll ever need for a typical game. This has completely liberated me as a Hobbiest: i only paint when I want to now with zero pressure to have to do so. I can paint five minutes a day simply for the fun of it or not pick up a brush for a week if I choose with no feelings of not making progress, etc. I also find I now spend a lot more time on models I choose to paint because there is no pressure to have to finish so I can chip away at some overwhelming backlog and my individual models look better than ever as a result. I’ve never been more relaxed nor enjoyed myself more as a 40k Hobbiest and gamer and I’m never going back to having a huge backlog hanging over my head.

well now my 11 unpainted orks boys, 5 lootas still resading in their sprues and 6 Harlequins players in shop waiting for shipping doesnt look so bad.

The David Attenburough voice was incredibly on point 😂 Also awesome collection! Makes me feel better about my own lol
@no_cool_names 3 years ago

At 4 hours a model (being conservative) and painting 40 hours a week. That gives you 4.2 years to complete you collection. You now have a new goal.

Others: Yeah, my Pile of Shame is pretty high. Emil: Look at my gigantic Mountain Range of Glory! Yes, no shame here!

"THAT STILL ONLY COUNTS AS ONE!" That had me laughing for far too long.

I just ordered some of your brushes! Can’t wait to get my hands in them!!
@rockysgarage 2 years ago

Thanks Emil! This last video helped a lot! I too have far too many minis collected and to paint. Again, you have no idea how much your reveal has helped me. Ok maybe not so much help, but given me some understanding I am not alone. Thank you.
@TheMrFishnDucks 2 years ago

Great pile. So many awesome minis. Looking forward to what you will paint. Keep up the good work.
