What convinced me? First, I miss painting. I lost my mojo a while back and I want it back. Second, it just makes sense from a financial standpoint, especially with some changes for the worse on the horizon. Third, there's not a lot out there I've wanted to buy, so why tempt myself.
So I thought I'd do this in stages, wiping out sections of the mountain rather than chipping away randomly. For my first section, I decided to knock out my collection of D&D Chainmail minis.
These guys could be put to use in my D&D game, or a nice skirmish game like Song of Blades and Heroes. So what is all in the pile?
Three Thalos starter warbands (12 minis total)
One Naresh starter warband (4)
Ravilla Faction box set (6)
Drazen's Horde box set (6)
Mordengard faction box set (6)
Mordengard combo box (4)
Ogre mercenary
Dwarf fighter
Stone spike
Drow warrior
Grey Elf Fighters (2)
Total: 34 miniatures
That should keep me busy for a while. Once completed, I'll claim another Joker, allowing me to make a purchase.
Wish me luck! I could use the encouragement!
