Uprising

Is hachette UK only? That terrain set is tempting.

Price rise will be eternal until the customer base (sales) are effected by it. By that point, I believe GW will be more of a brand company (think Disney) mainly, then a miniature company when that issue arises. Let see what happens in 2025.

I really like these models, and to be fair the price for all the files is reasonable. I will have to pledge for this when I get home (this has already been an expensive hobby week).

So I asked my friend if they wanted to go to Adepticon, on Friday (1/3/2025) for our first convention. They said maybe. Today (1/4/2025), they infrom me the hotel and rental car is paid for. I am going now. Time to figure out events and get painting.

Thinking of making the trip to Adepticon this year for my first hobby convention. Does anyone have any tips for people going to a convention for the first time?

Badab war is the single best piece of lore created by Games workshop. I would love to get a setting / game in that setting.

These are some of my favorite post on this forum. I am getting old.

Thank you all for replies. Looking at army painter vs wetndri vs redgrass. Does anyone have a link to the redgrass palette official site? Having difficulty finding it (the rest are sold out or on ebay for double the price of the others). Thanks for the input everyone, probably will be buying one shortly due to getting back into the hobby.

Looking at updating my wet pallet. Thinking of buying one instead of making one this time. Any recommendation?

Time to get back to everyone, and I am a bit humbled by the amount of support and comments. Thank you. @Marshal Rohr Brutal, blunt, and simple as all Black Templar should be. Thank you @phandaal Most of my painted miniature / armies are either in the plastic containers (they are magnetized and great for storage), or in my bedroom within a display case. I feel having the unpainted models out may inspire me to complete them as I hate unfinished projects. This might have been my undoing. The rest of the comment is good advice. @Tyriks Good advice @N1SB Good advice. I agree with you. I done the competitive scene for a bit, and dislike my time. I enjoy games for time with friends, seeing how thier doing, and the random stories that happen with the dices. I think one of the biggest issues is since I moved, I do not have a friend group locally anymore. The best I have is a friend that will travel 5 hrs a few time a year to play Battletech for a weekend. For me personally, I like making art, displays, and a story. Its not rare for me to throw the rulebooks away, and just assemble the models. With the evil eye thread, you may have a point. It was a long week. @gideon stargreave I know your pain. I sold multiple armies / bits / projects. Most I do not regret selling, but a few I still miss. @WAR Good advice @Firedrake Cordova You might be on too something. Do I really need 500 clanrats (wish I was joking)? Do I need three companies of marines? Do I need 400 guardsmen? Good point. @Cenobite Terminator Good points and I share your pain. @Grotsmasha Yes I have, ironically, I did it last year with my clothes and other materials in my house. The only thing left for downsizing is my hobby. One thing I did not mention (or take pics of) is my ebay space. I been selling a bit of project this year, and I have currently 4 other armies with other smaller lot currently selling. Even with the purge currently happening, I still feel I still have to much. @Interrogator Stobz Good point and idea. @FrogianGood idea, but I have a policy about buying armies again after I sold them. Done it way too many times. @DuskRaider Good advice @skylerboodie I know your pain @Emperor Ming I have two nieces, and discover sing along montage rarely work. TLDR: Thank you everyone for the advice. I really appreciate it. It is good to know I am not alone in this situation. So the plan is to rid my current purge list, go through the hobby room again, give it a year, purge again, and start painting / posting WIP blogs again.

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well. I have been dreading posting this, but I need some help. I started this hobby more then 10 yrs ago, and since then I have grown a lot from a young teenager to an adulthood. During that time, I have completed collage, moved serval time, and currently working three jobs (two for others, one is my own business). I finally was able to settle down at my own property this year, but an issue came since gathering my hobby into one location and reorganized into one room (pictures below). The problem is twofold: Time, space, and a general lack of enjoying the changes in the setting as of late. I just finished the reorganizing my collection this weekend, and the thought hit me like a ton of bricks. Also, as shown below, I have also been playing other games (been enjoying it) but mostly just enjoying the painting / model building aspect. This also does not include other hobbies that are taking up my time, and general life. I have not played 40k since the beginning of 8thed (Prefer skirmish games over army games for the last few years). I am wondering if anyone has some tips for downsizing models on an emotional level? I been eBay selling for years, so the logistics aspect is well known to me. If you want a list of projects, I will post them below. In my head, I think the best course of action is to downsize (models and book) to a few forces and just paint one project at a time (planning on doing a blog here). Thank you for reading and have a great day.

The hobby room renovations took way longer than excepted. Here some pictures, going to be upgrading the shelves to cabinets next year as I am in a weird place with the hobby and trying to downsize (on the edge of quitting 40k/30k/AOS or not). Probably will post about the issue later. Only thing left to do is buy another desk, fix the banner, add and hang a few shelves, then buy cabinets to replace shelves. Thoughts and enjoy.

I have four different computers, and voted for Coteaz. Let do this.

@WARThank you for pictures of your setup. It looks great I will post pictures of my setup once I complete my hobby room renovations. Should be complete by this Saturday (waiting for some items to arrive). Currently also doing a purge and selling off so old projects.

Why do I feel like the cultist are a tease and we may be getting cultist models in the future. Interesting.
