My pile of shame/glory grew significantly over the last 3 years. I've been working on many projects on & off or simultaneously, and most of them are not even finished (yet). I noticed how my ability to identify bits and sprues fast improved significantly over time.
Holy Cow CreepsMcPasta!!! I have watched you religiously for a decade! when I'm shooting videos I'm often listening to your creepy pastas. Good Luck on your pile of shame and stay spooky!
I just got into TT games and minis middle of this year with my three kids. So far just a nostalgic foray into Battletech (primarily Alpha Strike) with the little ones. 75 mechs yet to be painted between us (my youngest, she's ahead of all of us on painted count 😂). I've been gaining interest in WH though as I've watched to learn how to paint and love this channel @EonsOfBattle. Jay's humor and style resonate with me and I hope to get some Warhammer at some point and start stepping up my painting game!
@@magnusmillerwilson I know, right? I never got to play much growing up but I was obsessed with the big stompy guys and the weirdly alluring line art in the Tech Readouts. I just happened on it again (I thought it had died out after the Wiz Kids Dark Age stuff) and my kids immediately gravitated towards it as I had many, many years before. And we found the less crunchy Alpha Strike which was perfectly suited for quicker games and less math for my little ones. It is great and like I said above I'm starting to branch out a bit because I finally took the plunge and painted a few. All in all, it's been a really cool journey the past few months.
Not doing Battletech - used to way back and used some of the larger Japanese kits from Macross that were "borrowed" for Battleterch to play larger scale 1/72 games. But from TTCombat I am now into Dropfleet Commander in a big way. Really like the ship designs. Manage to look very good without copying other franchises like Star Wars, Galactica or Battlefleet Gothic. If anything, the human ships have Halo feel to them
real quick - NOBODY wants to snip bits and put them in those jewelry boxes. However, if you think about the system you opted for, You will have to find the right box of bit, then pull ALL of the sprues out, then scan each sprue HOPING you have 1 left arm remaining. I feel like the time snipping and organizing would be worth it to avoid painful searches later, also the bits you snip don't technically need to be cleaned up, so if a bit of sprue is left on a leg you will never use, nobody cares. I think you need to have a snipping party with your friends. Get a couple buddies over, beers, pizza, put on some starwars and start snipping. Or do what you're doing. Mine all remain in a box on the sprue until I care enough to look at them. Anyways, love you. You are constantly motivating me. Thank you.
this is the kind of thing where going back to do it is tedious as hell. But if you get in the practice of snipping right away and stay on top of it, it's great.
Really? I actually love cutting off the excess bits off the sprues, after having built the models, and putting them in their respective little boxes, while the sprue frames are getting cut down to around a half or a quarter and stored for sprue goo, sprue glue and whatever else. (of course, I have like 60 minis, I started back in last October, I might get bored of the procedure when they become 600 or soemthing)
I have 263 models in my collection. A somewhat viable Admech army and a bunch of Kill teams. Nothing compared to some of you guys, some of you are mental.
True. I've got a Deathguard army 2600 points, 2200 Votann army and a 2700 point Chaos Space Marine army needing painting. Luckly the CSM armie is already undercoated.
Ive got eight minis in my pile of shame, 1 Deathwing Knight, Belial, Chaplian in Terminator Armor, 2 Bladeguard Veterans, 1 Librarian in Phobos Armor, Azrael, and a Redemptor Dreadnought. Not even a pile, ive got a handfull of shame.
I bought a property and had to pack to move so decided to sort out my modeling workshop, so watching how you stored your stuff has helped heaps. Worked out that I've spent around 500+ aus on the plastic storage, but thinking that because i labeled it while i was packing and sorting, it will make the relocation and unpacking much easier, Any way it took 2 months to sort and pack, but I've been collecting since WD 85, so a very long time. Love what you and your bros do, keep up the great work. Regards J for the land down under ... Oz
My pile of shame grows day by day. I just started playing and collecting in the last 6 or 7 months and my pile exploded lol. In total, Im at over 100 models in my pile of shame. I tend to dedicate waaaay too much time to normal infantry, but i enjoy making each model look as best I can. Im also planning on getting some Sterilites to keep all my leftover sprues in as well. Good video Jay!
This past year I have whittled my pile of opportunity down to 1 furioso dreadnaught, 1 box of grey knight strike squad and 1 box of cataphractii terminators left to build. Still Have about 40 models to finish painting for my armies. Feel accomplished this year!
I have 150ish models, an entire votann army, some grey knights, seraphon, and some clones and various rebels in legion. Moving in a week so this video is giving me motivation and ideas to organize and start painting again!
My pile of shame isn't too too bad. A handful of models, and some repaints of older models. Honestly I know this is a 40k Primary channel but I absolutely love to see some SWL, SWS, Malifaux painting videos. Those are honestly so fun to watch.
i got a small pile of shame, but i have been chipping at it slowly but surely. (Deathwing Assault Box, Dark Angels combat patrol, Land raider, hellblaster squad , and the new Dark angel Battle force box)👍
ive got like 80 marines and a few vehicles sitting around my pile of shame, they're all super old 3rd edition stuff that is older than me and hasn't seen the light of day
So my boy got me into Warhammer about 2 years ago and between us we have approximately 150 models in the pile of shame. It's across seven armies including: Necrons, Admech, T'au, Guard, Orruks (AOS), Stormcast Eternals (AOS), and Eldari. I knew nothing about Warhammer until he suggested we try and as you can see, we are fully into it and getting worse! But it's a great thing to do with my son and we have an AMAZING group at our FLGS that has really adopted us! Your channel is awesome and my boy loves it. You're so positive and it's obvious you love what you do. Keep it up!
Stuns me every time I see how many minis you own! I have 6/7 boxes, about 34 minis total. Painted about 8 of them and it's been 3 months since I started, although I'm fairly busy and I like to ensure I can commit a good amount of time to each one :)
As someone extremely new to the hobby, my pile of shame consists of two and a half termagants, all who are broken and abused from the person I bought the nids combat patrol from. Everything else is painted but I cannot seem to be able to fix those termagants
If you can make spru goo what I do is get a small needle put a tiny bit on it and put it on one side of the broken segment put it together and hold for about 30 to 40 seconds and the it should hold its place but let it dry for about 10 minutes
I have been using red testor plastic glue for decades. It is cheap, it is strong, it is easy to find, won't discolor the plastic. Use lots. Try to find some proxies for the new special weps they have. They do all suck though. different than main gun, but no better or worse. I most often run mine as fleshborers, or devourers. The special weps just kinda get in the way, but can be nice.
You could always use the gaunts as a set of base decorations for bigger things or something else. I borrowed one of my parents old gaunts for a krootox rampager to be tearing apart
Just 34 unpainted with only 11 still in the box! This past year I've actually been completing my projects! Thank you for the inspiration, I couldn't do it without EoB : )
for warhammer, i’ve got two titans (warlord & warhound), three imperial knights, an entire 2300pt iron hands army (~50 models), 1800pt thousand sons army (~40 models + magnus), ~3000pts of death guard (which i’m currently painting!!!), an entire ossiarch bonereapers army in box, death korps of krieg in bag, and my 14000pts of sons of horus… yikes. plus there’s a ton of random models thrown in there for funsies. for a song of ice and fire, i have EVERYTHING but the newest faction, brotherhood of banners, and targaryens. otherwise that’s like 1500 models that i’ve painted MAYBE 50 of. ouch. thanks for dredging that up, jay. you’ll pay for this.
Holy shit man! Get painting! We believe in you! Take a pic of the first model you painted of the 1500 and the last of the 1500 to see how much you improve. That’s a lot of money, time, and fun you’ve got waiting for you!
Wow! That puts my pile to shame! You should not buy another thing before you finish some of those projects 😂 With my speed at building and painting, I would be set for decades.
I just recently got into Warhammer last year at 41, and I went in hard. I already have a huge collection of everything Battletech, but now I've added the AoS and 40K Ultimate starter sets, a Razeoback, Primaris Repulsor, Knight Dominus, Space Wolves combat Patrol and Black Templar combat patrol. And I've 3d printed and painted a few Rhino tanks and Storm Raven gunships. Definitely in over my head!
Hey Jay, I love your content, keep it up!😇 I just finilized a Pile of "Opportunity"-List because I lost track of all the things I got in my pile. 😄 I counted 496 Models in total.😅
Last time I check my pile (may 2020) I have 3834 minis and that didn't include Gotham City ks and other coming after 2020. I didn't count subcribtion to Imperium, Mortal Realms and Conquest, no the 2 Indomitus box, second Massive Darkness ks, Wolfenstein ks... I think I'm above 4500minis to paint. edit: I find excel from june 2023 and I'm with 6947 minis...
Stoked to see you collecting the Kroot. I just started collecting and have a Necron army and kroot army going with some random models here and there. Being new I have around 100 models to paint but man is that eBay button easy to click when you see a new model to get excited about. Thanks for the videos!
....I'll never be able to understand having unopened plastic crack boxes lying around, let alone dozens for entire factions. I can barely leave a duplicate hero sprue lying about without wanting to put it together and convert it up. And that's before even thinking of all the money sunk into those unopened boxes - I wish I could spend and forget that I did, haha.
".I'll never be able to understand having unopened plastic crack boxes lying around" Unopened Warhammer boxes that have been discontinued for 20 or 30 years tend to increase in value and the collectors want to pay a lot of money for them. Take for instance the Thorgrim Dwarf King on Thrown or the Dieter on Manticore both from the 1990s. They are sold for around 100 to 150 Euros if second hand and if they are in the unopened original box they are going for around 250 to 300 euros at least. The original Plastic Skeleton box sets are also sold for a high price. Warhammer in god condition without / with the box from the 1990s open or unopened can be worth a lot on the collectors market. Take the original plastic space marines, the squats and the imperial guards. If you own several of those unopened boxes you are setting on a good pile of cash.
@@vivalaliberty Using unopened Warhammer kits as speculation objects is about as sensible as buying dogecoin. Nobody with good sense buys them up to sell them in 20-30 years. Also: those scalpers buying up and dumping Black Library novels on ebay can gtfo as well.
I have painted most of my models but i still have some kommandos of the month models and my brother has a tryanid army, some scions, and some raven guard. He has sadly stopped playing and painting so i have started buying some of him. Also i love watching these vidoes while painting models and got me back into warhammer. Keep doing amazing work.
My Pile of shame currently consist of: 161 Models of varying size and factions. More specifically: 5 Intercessors 10 Ass Intercessors 10 Infiltrators 1 Impulsor 1 Redemptor Dread 1 Phobos Lt. 2 Bladeguard Lt. 3 Eliminators 3 Suppressors 1 Cannoness 5 Sacresants 10 Battlesisters 10 Repentia 3 Deftakoptas 10 Kommandos 20 Kriegsman 1 Old Sentinel 10 Old Caidans 1 Russ (heresy strike variant) 20 Necron Warriros 1 Doomstalker 2 Royal Wardens 1 Overlord with ressurection orb 20 Rats 3 Rat Ogors 1 Rat on rat 1 Greyseer 1 Rat engineer 3 Warplock jezails 1 big rat blaster Disturbing amount of plastic terrain which I will not count towards "amount of unpainted models" Props to anybody who can desipher which "value" boxes I bought XD Just as a sidenote: I am in this hobby for two years now. And just for comparison I will include a list of everything I have painted. 1 Bladeguard Captain (ultramarine) 8 Ass Intercessors (ultramarine) 3 Outriders (ultramarine) 5 Intercessors (deathwatch) 5 Ass Intercessors (deathwatch) 1 Warboss in Mega armour (blood axes) 20 Boyz (blood axes) 1 Deff Dread (blood axes) 10 Kommandos (blood axes) 20 Necron Warriors + 3 Scarabs (custom dynasty) 1 Technomancer (custom dynasty) 5 Immortals (actually hierotec circle kill team) (custom dynasty) 20 Rats Some terrain - but not enough :DD
Your video emboldened me to catalog my pile of shame. I thought "well, I can't possibly have that many minis, I just finished building a flesh eater courts army." 231. I have 123 on sprue and 108 in various stages of assembly and painting. I feel like I'm on one of those horder shows, standing in a huge pile of magazines and pizza boxes, and am like, what do you mean I have too much stuff? Of course, this means I am going to enter the Skaventide box contest you're running and get even more minis I don't have time to paint!
I literally don't have a single thing in my huge pile of she because I am poor, yet I have spent 7 weeks "painting" one unit of orks because they are so frickin' small it actually drives me crazy. Love the videos, keep it up.
So far in my Pile of Shame I have a new box of Space Marine Assault Intercessors and a D&D DragonBorn Fighters kit, as well as 4 Gundam kits, one of which I’m currently painting. Love the videos they have been a big help to me.
I have a spreadsheet cataloguing my pile of shame: 46% of the models in my collection are fully painted, 10% are partially painted, 10% are primed, 8% are under construction, and 27% are untouched, for a total pile of shame 97 models large. My goal this year is to make that shrink!
Fun video! I’ve been trying to figure out how to organize my Warhams and I like what you did. Can you share the actual sizes of totes you used for sprues and other things? I feel both better and worse. You have a lot more partial sprues, but that means you have done more work on them. I have a lot of sealed boxes on my shelves. Being a collector mentality I have one of just about everything, and my bud accuses me of looking like my game room is a Warhammer store. 😂
Ohman I got too many things in my pile of shame. But not that many orks, only 2christmas gobbos. I am not at home nor will be in anytime soon so I'll estimate from memory that I have just 120necrons, 60admech, 3knights, and 24necromunda models. Also stingwing killteam and deathguard kill team. Not to mention all age of sigmar seraphons which I got whole christmas box all untouched. What would be lovely to see from you is one painting round of admech and how you would tackle all the tiny details! On your pile of shame that enraged fairy looks rad! Happy this year Jay!
I always love videos about people organizing their collections, it's cathartic. I am grateful I don't have a pile of shame quite as massive as you, but still plenty to work with. By my count there is 140 models that still need building....and maybe 4 times as much that still need painting. Might need to get me some totes...
I have 189 models that are waiting in boxes like you (original or sterilite). Mostly 75 Stormcast, 38 Dark Angels, plus 24 Chaos Warriors and 32 Elves from Warhammer Battle, 20 confrontation models (Wolfens and Grifons). Pile of shame not so big compared to my around 500 painted models, but time is running and we always want to buy new models faster than we paint. Could BE Nice to see you painting more AOS Spearhead with alternative colors schemes (Fireslayers should be difficult to change) Thanks for your videos and smile
Love your work mate I have Orks from 1997 still in battle force box. Along with over 150 unbuilt unpainted models from Space marines to old Lizard men metals.
"Its 5 plus 3 plus 10 plus 1, yep that is 20, thats how numbers work" fave new Jay quote. And yeah, I have like, 50~ orks that still need to be painted/finished up (including a stopma) plus 15 StD models for the army I am starting up, but those are like currently being painted so I dont know if they count
Just counted and came back to this vid after finishing my redemptor dreadnought. Exactly 107 between my White scars, custom chapter space marines, 3 warhammer underworlds warbands, half an ork army, space wolves for my friend, and the tiny collection of AoS models I have built up. Each collection doesnt have too much but they really add up when you have so many projects
I'm relatively new painting minis, but I brought a lot random prints and official pieces. I think I have like 50 minis from 40K waiting to be finished. Some are still in their boxes, other are already primed and saved in boxes for later. Plus 45 prints in the same state as the 40K one. I also have some kit bashed minis and some papercraft tanks also waiting to be armed. At first were easy to store, now they are all over the place. I need more dollar tree storage boxes.
I cannot tell you how much I love the Seventh Sister. She's unironically my favourite Star Wars character. I would love to see you paint her and the Fifth Brother.
Hello from France ! I'm a huge fan and i love your videos soo thx and for the pile of shame ....... I'm full AOS , Kharadron 50 minis + the ironclad ...... Glomspite its ridiculous 103 minis to paint and my old world/aos army of Dwarf where i have 43 minis to paint so in total i have more or less 200 minis to paint and in these minis 120 to build. plz continue your nice work with passion like you allway do. :) With love !
I have 83 unpainted minis, a mix of warhammer and dnd. I just started the painting in this hobby last year and I thought there was no way I’ll end up with a pile of shame but here I am
My New Years Project is to start painting minis! I've been fascinated by all mini's since I found my grandma's box of pewter AD&D figures in the late 80's. For my birthday last year I was given a little painting kit of an undead beholder and loved painting that hideous thing. Been eyeing getting my hands on a killteam, while my partner is interested in playing spearhead but not in painting. Sounds like extra painting projects to me! I'm planning to get a bit here and there, as I'm broke right now, till I can actually properly paint something. Rescently found out there is a warhammer store in my city!
Pile of potential is sitting at 400 minis total on the dot. Many are still on the sprue but there is probably 100 or so already assembled and or partially painted at least, mostly for test minis. A good chunk of this was bought for older rulesets that now make them defunct ruleswise or local communities have dried up for sadly, that's why some have sat in the pile for awhile. AoS has been what I've been going for recently since spearhead looks really cool, not had a chance to play much yet due to being busy this last year. Good luck to everyone and hope we all slay some more gray this year!
I just recently took stock. It is my second year of returning to 40k and I was surprised by how fast I built a stockpile. Probably an issue of now being a grown-up and having the money to buy those shiny toys. I will add everything that is not finished (painted + based), so built, not build, base coated, in progress...: 43 Space Marines, 15 Eldar, 60 BloodBowl models, and my nemesis: the Boarding Actions Terrain Set! So I am quite confident on the 40k side. Want to have my eldar done for the codex release. Want to get into AOS this year but the aim is to reduce the backlog first!
I recently started getting into warhammer in August, the pile of shame started with the necron combat patrol and it has expanded to a 3k point necron army and about 655 in admec. I go to my local warhammer store to play and the people there are great. I love every friday just playing with my buddys at the store.
I've got a few tyranids, and then a handfull of dwarves, wood elves, empire folks from old World. All together its probably between 50 and 100 models waiting in boxes ^^ All of the models were bought 15+ years ago as i've started painting again pretty recently
I'm just glad that during the fall and winter, I manage to almost completely finish assembling my pile of shame. The only kits left are one Imperial Knight, a Stormfang gunship and a Forge World Land Raider. Though now I've got a lot of painting to do.
Love the Video, makes me feel better about myself. I can count around 270 with a mix of Old World, 30k, 40k, AoS and non warhammer bits. The smallest pile is 40k with only 35 models left to build so thats something I guess. Enevitable there will be more hiden out of sight (pushed to the corners as you've said) so make it a nice even 300. (this is just what left on sprues, the grey spreads further than that)
Most of my minis are in various stages of painting but not counting the ones that are done (enough where I have no more desire to add to them) I’m looking at: 8 SCE, 96 SM/GK infantry, 6 tanks, 3 dreadnoughts/dreadknights, 24 MESBG minis, 6 infinity minis, and a box of mdf terrain pieces to build up (140 and terrain total). Honestly better than I thought but more minis are in the mail/about to be shipped
Well im don’t play Warhammer a long time😅 but this is my list: -1 Astra militarrum combat patrol which is 28 models - A tonn of Tau which counts 26 - And my new Drukhari combi patrol which is 18 model. Anyway i often watch you while painting😄
I did a quick inventory of my pile of shame and it was so much that I was like "I probably shouldn't enter a contest for Skaventide..." BUT! Here we are! 155 models. Includes a Deathwatch Combat Patrol, Kill Team Cassius, AoS Battleforce Wrekkamob, Redemptor Dreadnaught, a handful of hero models & primarchs, some Chaplains, Heavy Intercessors, and a recently acquired Krieg Kill Team!
We moved in August, and with the move came a storage locker in our apartment building! So I’ve got a nice five tier Home Depot shelving unit full of models to paint. I don’t have a number for you though.
Your video with your excel spreadsheet about all the minis in your collection and the states they are in inspired me, so I know I have 68 Space Marines, 42 Tyranids and 89 Seraphon for a total of 199 uncompleted. Goal this year is to get that number below 100!
I have an unopened Combat Patrol: Blood Angels box (the one with the Impulsor), an unopened Terminator squad box, and Christmas brought a Heavy Intercessor squad box (also unopened). Soon as I'm done with my current 3d print project, I'll probably start on the Aggressors from the BA box. I don't like opening new boxes until my current project is done! 😂
I have 63 models in my pile of shame... and over 200 primed and needing paint. Painting up an Eidolon of Mathlann from the Idoneth Deepkin would be an amazing video!
i bought a bunch of boxes while i was out of the country, now im stuck with the consequences of buying an entire blood angels army while away, chipping away
I thought i was quite good. Just finished painting my Tyranids and have already assembled my Necron combat patrol ready to paint, but then i remember what reignited my interest in the hobby, i was gifted a paint set because of all the unpainted minis i still had from back in the day. Those are still unpainted 😅 and i forgot to base my Tyranids, so i guess they are still on the pile as well 😂. 58 from the new stuff (30 is just basing) I bet there is another 50 odd models from my old second edition backlog.
I have a Kroot army box sitting on table, put together, basecoated, and just waiting for the fun painting to start. Then there's a whole bunch of Tau to go with em.
IKEA Samla boxes are the best ones. They perfectly fit into their Kallax shelves. I have like 4 or 5 blood bowl teams waiting to be painted. Then a couple of warcrow models and, ofc, almost all Stormbringer magazins :D
I currently have 8 models in my pile of shame, 4 of which are Scarab Terminators, one kitbashed chaos lord, the ninth edition space marine captain, and 2 Assault Marines from the same box
So i would love to even have a quarter of this pile, but i just started the hobby like 2 months ago. I have a black templars combat patrol, black templars sword bretheren, and a new ultimate starter set for Age of Sigmar. So about 60. Loving everything so far.
Have about 120 models that need painting in the pile of shame. They range from a few Tyranids, Death Guard, and Imperial Guard models. Also have two new Krieg boxes that need assembling/painting.
I've got the guard Christmas box from like a year or two ago and a few other guard kits I planned on kitbashing with a few blooded kill team boxes, some cultist kits, and even a necromunda kit to make a thematic army of traitor guard. I also got a good amount of chaos space marines with a couple 30k kits for kitbashing. I would say around 100 models in total, give or take. This is my pile of shame, it is small but it is mine.
Im actually doing surprisingly well while on my college break cutting down my necron pile of shame. Out of 32 grey models, I have painted 20 warriors, 3 ophyidian destroyers, and a mostly painted Skorpekh Lord. I wanna get the rest of it done in the last 10 days of my break. Best of luck with the plastic crack, everyone!
I have 7 models left in my pile - the remainder of the 9th edition elite starter set, a couple new models for my necrons, and then a random LOTR box I just thought was cool.
My husband and i both collect and paint, but he is the one who mainly plays Our current pile of shame is probably around 106 minis still on the sprue and 50 built but unpainted haha My plan this year is to try to tackle the pile of shame!
Let us know in the comments how many models are in your piles of shame! Then fill out this form to win a Skaventide! forms.gle/Pw7e1m8PoB9yUaJo9
none cause I'm broke and trying to figure out how to contort the $50 in my bank to get me enough paints to color my whole army and still look good
i have like 700 models in my pile of shame, because i play legions imperialis
0 models: I actually don't own a single model despite having watched all of your videos for like an entire year now, I'm too broke😂😂
i also have a few kill teams
@@samuelredfern4269man I’m thirty dollars away from having a negative number in my bank account
The most impressive thing to me is that you know exactly what models they are by looking at the sprue
My pile of shame/glory grew significantly over the last 3 years. I've been working on many projects on & off or simultaneously, and most of them are not even finished (yet).
I noticed how my ability to identify bits and sprues fast improved significantly over time.
I could be wrong, but I have a feeling this guy really likes warhammer
oh and edit: 3 boxes. Just started 😀
Okay groomer!
Good Luck Creeps, keep up the awesome vids.
i only got like 7 models
also just started
Holy Cow CreepsMcPasta!!! I have watched you religiously for a decade! when I'm shooting videos I'm often listening to your creepy pastas. Good Luck on your pile of shame and stay spooky!
I just got into TT games and minis middle of this year with my three kids. So far just a nostalgic foray into Battletech (primarily Alpha Strike) with the little ones. 75 mechs yet to be painted between us (my youngest, she's ahead of all of us on painted count 😂).
I've been gaining interest in WH though as I've watched to learn how to paint and love this channel @EonsOfBattle. Jay's humor and style resonate with me and I hope to get some Warhammer at some point and start stepping up my painting game!
Yay BattleTech! I’m so glad that game is not only still going but thriving!
@@magnusmillerwilson I know, right? I never got to play much growing up but I was obsessed with the big stompy guys and the weirdly alluring line art in the Tech Readouts. I just happened on it again (I thought it had died out after the Wiz Kids Dark Age stuff) and my kids immediately gravitated towards it as I had many, many years before. And we found the less crunchy Alpha Strike which was perfectly suited for quicker games and less math for my little ones. It is great and like I said above I'm starting to branch out a bit because I finally took the plunge and painted a few. All in all, it's been a really cool journey the past few months.
Battletech is the best miniatures game ever
Not doing Battletech - used to way back and used some of the larger Japanese kits from Macross that were "borrowed" for Battleterch to play larger scale 1/72 games.
But from TTCombat I am now into Dropfleet Commander in a big way. Really like the ship designs. Manage to look very good without copying other franchises like Star Wars, Galactica or Battlefleet Gothic. If anything, the human ships have Halo feel to them
I actually don't have any models in my pile of shame. I am very poor so I assemble and paint every single thing I get. So: 0.
Same 😢
Me too!
Yup! Same same lol
Same bro 😞
Real
real quick - NOBODY wants to snip bits and put them in those jewelry boxes. However, if you think about the system you opted for, You will have to find the right box of bit, then pull ALL of the sprues out, then scan each sprue HOPING you have 1 left arm remaining. I feel like the time snipping and organizing would be worth it to avoid painful searches later, also the bits you snip don't technically need to be cleaned up, so if a bit of sprue is left on a leg you will never use, nobody cares.
I think you need to have a snipping party with your friends. Get a couple buddies over, beers, pizza, put on some starwars and start snipping.
Or do what you're doing. Mine all remain in a box on the sprue until I care enough to look at them.
Anyways, love you. You are constantly motivating me. Thank you.
this is the kind of thing where going back to do it is tedious as hell. But if you get in the practice of snipping right away and stay on top of it, it's great.
Really? I actually love cutting off the excess bits off the sprues, after having built the models, and putting them in their respective little boxes, while the sprue frames are getting cut down to around a half or a quarter and stored for sprue goo, sprue glue and whatever else. (of course, I have like 60 minis, I started back in last October, I might get bored of the procedure when they become 600 or soemthing)
Yeah I’m a snipper. I hate the extra space sprue frames take up. They offend my desire for efficiency. 🤣
I hate doing it but this is the only answer. Takes up a tiny fraction of the space, and its easier to find stuff when you need it
I would love to see videos of you working your way through your pile of shame, especially some of the older and more rare models!
I have 263 models in my collection. A somewhat viable Admech army and a bunch of Kill teams. Nothing compared to some of you guys, some of you are mental.
True. I've got a Deathguard army 2600 points, 2200 Votann army and a 2700 point Chaos Space Marine army needing painting. Luckly the CSM armie is already undercoated.
I have 20000 points in total
@@ChanceGage-v5k Ouch
I've got about 20 models in my pile of shame. 5 Deathwing Terminators, and 15 Horus Heresy Tacitical Marines. 🤟 Love the channel Jay!
Ive got eight minis in my pile of shame, 1 Deathwing Knight, Belial, Chaplian in Terminator Armor, 2 Bladeguard Veterans, 1 Librarian in Phobos Armor, Azrael, and a Redemptor Dreadnought. Not even a pile, ive got a handfull of shame.
Can't even call mine a pile of shame, 3 inner circle companions, the lion, ravenwing command squad, a Dreadnought and a scorpek lord

One bedroom apartment. With 621 models needing loving.... ya I know I have an issue. 😅
being in a small apartment is my saviour because i physically cant fit a massive pile like that, at least without giving up another hobby
I’ve amassed around 800 in my first year….. I could have invested in a house… or warhammer… and I chose correctly
I have a storage unit about a quarter mile from my apartment. It's filled with a single AC unit and totes on totes of models lol
@@kenupton4084I’m about there and it’s a scary thought
I bought a property and had to pack to move so decided to sort out my modeling workshop, so watching how you stored your stuff has helped heaps. Worked out that I've spent around 500+ aus on the plastic storage, but thinking that because i labeled it while i was packing and sorting, it will make the relocation and unpacking much easier, Any way it took 2 months to sort and pack, but I've been collecting since WD 85, so a very long time. Love what you and your bros do, keep up the great work. Regards J for the land down under ... Oz
Wow I’ve never been so excited to watch a video 29seconds after upload!
My pile of shame grows day by day. I just started playing and collecting in the last 6 or 7 months and my pile exploded lol. In total, Im at over 100 models in my pile of shame. I tend to dedicate waaaay too much time to normal infantry, but i enjoy making each model look as best I can. Im also planning on getting some Sterilites to keep all my leftover sprues in as well. Good video Jay!
That is not a pile of shame. That is a beginning hobby project.
There's no "too much time on infantry" if you are enjoying painting them
At 24:05 your tray of Kroot moves. This is actually scary hahaha
This past year I have whittled my pile of opportunity down to 1 furioso dreadnaught, 1 box of grey knight strike squad and 1 box of cataphractii terminators left to build. Still Have about 40 models to finish painting for my armies. Feel accomplished this year!
I have 89 models in my pile of shame, all Kroot models because I loved the new box and wanted to go hard on Kroot and rampagers and farstalkers too
I have 150ish models, an entire votann army, some grey knights, seraphon, and some clones and various rebels in legion. Moving in a week so this video is giving me motivation and ideas to organize and start painting again!
My pile of shame isn't too too bad. A handful of models, and some repaints of older models.
Honestly I know this is a 40k Primary channel but I absolutely love to see some SWL, SWS, Malifaux painting videos. Those are honestly so fun to watch.
Jay has posted a fair amount of Legion content in the past, but I agree, the channel definitely needs more
I have been a 1/32 scale historical toy soldier collector for 35 years. 10,000 figures plus. 🫠
i have about 150 models in the mountain of shame and hope to add some more soon
Heh! That's the right attitude to a pile of shame. Yolo some more models into it. That's what I do as well.
i got a small pile of shame, but i have been chipping at it slowly but surely. (Deathwing Assault Box, Dark Angels combat patrol, Land raider, hellblaster squad , and the new Dark angel Battle force box)👍
ive got like 80 marines and a few vehicles sitting around my pile of shame, they're all super old 3rd edition stuff that is older than me and hasn't seen the light of day
So my boy got me into Warhammer about 2 years ago and between us we have approximately 150 models in the pile of shame. It's across seven armies including: Necrons, Admech, T'au, Guard, Orruks (AOS), Stormcast Eternals (AOS), and Eldari. I knew nothing about Warhammer until he suggested we try and as you can see, we are fully into it and getting worse! But it's a great thing to do with my son and we have an AMAZING group at our FLGS that has really adopted us! Your channel is awesome and my boy loves it. You're so positive and it's obvious you love what you do. Keep it up!
Can I have them?
Stuns me every time I see how many minis you own!
I have 6/7 boxes, about 34 minis total. Painted about 8 of them and it's been 3 months since I started, although I'm fairly busy and I like to ensure I can commit a good amount of time to each one :)
About 350. And that's just from this year, which is when I started the hobby. But I did paint up 266 models this year. So I think I did pretty decent.
As someone extremely new to the hobby, my pile of shame consists of two and a half termagants, all who are broken and abused from the person I bought the nids combat patrol from. Everything else is painted but I cannot seem to be able to fix those termagants
If you can make spru goo what I do is get a small needle put a tiny bit on it and put it on one side of the broken segment put it together and hold for about 30 to 40 seconds and the it should hold its place but let it dry for about 10 minutes
We all gotta start somewhere, don't worry before know it it'll have grown to point where try to avoid eye contact
I have been using red testor plastic glue for decades. It is cheap, it is strong, it is easy to find, won't discolor the plastic. Use lots. Try to find some proxies for the new special weps they have. They do all suck though. different than main gun, but no better or worse. I most often run mine as fleshborers, or devourers. The special weps just kinda get in the way, but can be nice.
You could always use the gaunts as a set of base decorations for bigger things or something else. I borrowed one of my parents old gaunts for a krootox rampager to be tearing apart
@rowbot5555 That's fair when mine were broken. I was just starting my army, so I wanted the units, and it wasn't hard. Plus, it was an eBay buy
I have about 50 in my pile. Keep up the great work on your pile. Love your enthousiasm!
I only have 21 minis in my pile of shame as I’ve managed to hold back from buying more orks.
This is your sign to buy more 40k
1:20 When I did this for fantasy figures I guessed 200 - it turned out to be over a 1000.
Just 34 unpainted with only 11 still in the box! This past year I've actually been completing my projects! Thank you for the inspiration, I couldn't do it without EoB : )
I just started getting into warhammer so I don’t have that many. A total of 19 models in mine.
for warhammer, i’ve got two titans (warlord & warhound), three imperial knights, an entire 2300pt iron hands army (~50 models), 1800pt thousand sons army (~40 models + magnus), ~3000pts of death guard (which i’m currently painting!!!), an entire ossiarch bonereapers army in box, death korps of krieg in bag, and my 14000pts of sons of horus… yikes. plus there’s a ton of random models thrown in there for funsies. for a song of ice and fire, i have EVERYTHING but the newest faction, brotherhood of banners, and targaryens. otherwise that’s like 1500 models that i’ve painted MAYBE 50 of. ouch. thanks for dredging that up, jay. you’ll pay for this.
Holy shit man! Get painting! We believe in you! Take a pic of the first model you painted of the 1500 and the last of the 1500 to see how much you improve. That’s a lot of money, time, and fun you’ve got waiting for you!
Wow! That puts my pile to shame! You should not buy another thing before you finish some of those projects 😂
With my speed at building and painting, I would be set for decades.
I just recently got into Warhammer last year at 41, and I went in hard. I already have a huge collection of everything Battletech, but now I've added the AoS and 40K Ultimate starter sets, a Razeoback, Primaris Repulsor, Knight Dominus, Space Wolves combat Patrol and Black Templar combat patrol. And I've 3d printed and painted a few Rhino tanks and Storm Raven gunships. Definitely in over my head!
I think im actually on top of it still 16 unbuild models and 12 build but not painted. SOOO im cleared to buy more right xD
Holy cow... Do your parents own oil land? I feel like that's more then most people make in a year, in plastic! LOLOLOL. Amazing!
I mean this is over more than a decade in the hobby

Hey Jay,
I love your content, keep it up!😇
I just finilized a Pile of "Opportunity"-List because I lost track of all the things I got in my pile. 😄
I counted 496 Models in total.😅
Last time I check my pile (may 2020) I have 3834 minis and that didn't include Gotham City ks and other coming after 2020. I didn't count subcribtion to Imperium, Mortal Realms and Conquest, no the 2 Indomitus box, second Massive Darkness ks, Wolfenstein ks...
I think I'm above 4500minis to paint.
edit: I find excel from june 2023 and I'm with 6947 minis...
Absolutely insane how the hell did you even buy all of those and not go bankrupt
If we have to include our Kickstarter games like five versions Zombicide or three loads of Reaper Bones, then my pile goes up two orders of magnitude.
@@Blaze-ic5ge there is a second hand market. Just saying.
Stoked to see you collecting the Kroot. I just started collecting and have a Necron army and kroot army going with some random models here and there. Being new I have around 100 models to paint but man is that eBay button easy to click when you see a new model to get excited about. Thanks for the videos!
....I'll never be able to understand having unopened plastic crack boxes lying around, let alone dozens for entire factions. I can barely leave a duplicate hero sprue lying about without wanting to put it together and convert it up. And that's before even thinking of all the money sunk into those unopened boxes - I wish I could spend and forget that I did, haha.
I can never have an unopened box I love examining the contents even if I’m not going to build for a while
".I'll never be able to understand having unopened plastic crack boxes lying around" Unopened Warhammer boxes that have been discontinued for 20 or 30 years tend to increase in value and the collectors want to pay a lot of money for them. Take for instance the Thorgrim Dwarf King on Thrown or the Dieter on Manticore both from the 1990s. They are sold for around 100 to 150 Euros if second hand and if they are in the unopened original box they are going for around 250 to 300 euros at least. The original Plastic Skeleton box sets are also sold for a high price. Warhammer in god condition without / with the box from the 1990s open or unopened can be worth a lot on the collectors market.
Take the original plastic space marines, the squats and the imperial guards. If you own several of those unopened boxes you are setting on a good pile of cash.
@@vivalaliberty Using unopened Warhammer kits as speculation objects is about as sensible as buying dogecoin. Nobody with good sense buys them up to sell them in 20-30 years. Also: those scalpers buying up and dumping Black Library novels on ebay can gtfo as well.
My Pile of shame..... i actually didnt finished all my armies so around 800 could be possible.
I have painted most of my models but i still have some kommandos of the month models and my brother has a tryanid army, some scions, and some raven guard. He has sadly stopped playing and painting so i have started buying some of him. Also i love watching these vidoes while painting models and got me back into warhammer. Keep doing amazing work.

Some terrain - but not enough :DD
i have like 500 models in my pile q_q
Your video emboldened me to catalog my pile of shame. I thought "well, I can't possibly have that many minis, I just finished building a flesh eater courts army." 231. I have 123 on sprue and 108 in various stages of assembly and painting. I feel like I'm on one of those horder shows, standing in a huge pile of magazines and pizza boxes, and am like, what do you mean I have too much stuff? Of course, this means I am going to enter the Skaventide box contest you're running and get even more minis I don't have time to paint!
I literally don't have a single thing in my huge pile of she because I am poor, yet I have spent 7 weeks "painting" one unit of orks because they are so frickin' small it actually drives me crazy. Love the videos, keep it up.
So far in my Pile of Shame I have a new box of Space Marine Assault Intercessors and a D&D DragonBorn Fighters kit, as well as 4 Gundam kits, one of which I’m currently painting. Love the videos they have been a big help to me.
I have a spreadsheet cataloguing my pile of shame: 46% of the models in my collection are fully painted, 10% are partially painted, 10% are primed, 8% are under construction, and 27% are untouched, for a total pile of shame 97 models large. My goal this year is to make that shrink!
Fun video! I’ve been trying to figure out how to organize my Warhams and I like what you did. Can you share the actual sizes of totes you used for sprues and other things? I feel both better and worse. You have a lot more partial sprues, but that means you have done more work on them. I have a lot of sealed boxes on my shelves. Being a collector mentality I have one of just about everything, and my bud accuses me of looking like my game room is a Warhammer store. 😂
Ohman I got too many things in my pile of shame. But not that many orks, only 2christmas gobbos. I am not at home nor will be in anytime soon so I'll estimate from memory that I have just 120necrons, 60admech, 3knights, and 24necromunda models. Also stingwing killteam and deathguard kill team. Not to mention all age of sigmar seraphons which I got whole christmas box all untouched.
What would be lovely to see from you is one painting round of admech and how you would tackle all the tiny details! On your pile of shame that enraged fairy looks rad! Happy this year Jay!
I always love videos about people organizing their collections, it's cathartic. I am grateful I don't have a pile of shame quite as massive as you, but still plenty to work with. By my count there is 140 models that still need building....and maybe 4 times as much that still need painting. Might need to get me some totes...
I have 189 models that are waiting in boxes like you (original or sterilite). Mostly 75 Stormcast, 38 Dark Angels, plus 24 Chaos Warriors and 32 Elves from Warhammer Battle, 20 confrontation models (Wolfens and Grifons). Pile of shame not so big compared to my around 500 painted models, but time is running and we always want to buy new models faster than we paint.
Could BE Nice to see you painting more AOS Spearhead with alternative colors schemes (Fireslayers should be difficult to change)
Thanks for your videos and smile
Love your work mate I have Orks from 1997 still in battle force box. Along with over 150 unbuilt unpainted models from Space marines to old Lizard men metals.
"Its 5 plus 3 plus 10 plus 1, yep that is 20, thats how numbers work" fave new Jay quote.
And yeah, I have like, 50~ orks that still need to be painted/finished up (including a stopma) plus 15 StD models for the army I am starting up, but those are like currently being painted so I dont know if they count
I probably have around 70 models in my pile of shame, I came back to the hobby after 15 years and I just love it even more now !!!
Just counted and came back to this vid after finishing my redemptor dreadnought. Exactly 107 between my White scars, custom chapter space marines, 3 warhammer underworlds warbands, half an ork army, space wolves for my friend, and the tiny collection of AoS models I have built up. Each collection doesnt have too much but they really add up when you have so many projects
Started collecting just this year. Pile of opportunity just hit 35. Super excited to build my first Death Guard army.
I'm relatively new painting minis, but I brought a lot random prints and official pieces. I think I have like 50 minis from 40K waiting to be finished. Some are still in their boxes, other are already primed and saved in boxes for later. Plus 45 prints in the same state as the 40K one. I also have some kit bashed minis and some papercraft tanks also waiting to be armed.
At first were easy to store, now they are all over the place. I need more dollar tree storage boxes.
I cannot tell you how much I love the Seventh Sister. She's unironically my favourite Star Wars character. I would love to see you paint her and the Fifth Brother.
Hello from France ! I'm a huge fan and i love your videos soo thx
and for the pile of shame ....... I'm full AOS , Kharadron 50 minis + the ironclad ...... Glomspite its ridiculous 103 minis to paint and my old world/aos army of Dwarf where i have 43 minis to paint so in total i have more or less 200 minis to paint and in these minis 120 to build.
plz continue your nice work with passion like you allway do. :) With love !
I have 5 imperial scout troopers, 7 wrath-of-kings pit fighters, ur-025, and a sydonian skatros. I've just started painting, and I'm loving it.
I have 83 unpainted minis, a mix of warhammer and dnd. I just started the painting in this hobby last year and I thought there was no way I’ll end up with a pile of shame but here I am
My New Years Project is to start painting minis! I've been fascinated by all mini's since I found my grandma's box of pewter AD&D figures in the late 80's. For my birthday last year I was given a little painting kit of an undead beholder and loved painting that hideous thing. Been eyeing getting my hands on a killteam, while my partner is interested in playing spearhead but not in painting. Sounds like extra painting projects to me! I'm planning to get a bit here and there, as I'm broke right now, till I can actually properly paint something. Rescently found out there is a warhammer store in my city!
101 in the pile of shame at present+countless individual nurglings. Made a good dent in it last year, knocked 30+ projects out including 4 vehicles!
Pile of potential is sitting at 400 minis total on the dot. Many are still on the sprue but there is probably 100 or so already assembled and or partially painted at least, mostly for test minis. A good chunk of this was bought for older rulesets that now make them defunct ruleswise or local communities have dried up for sadly, that's why some have sat in the pile for awhile. AoS has been what I've been going for recently since spearhead looks really cool, not had a chance to play much yet due to being busy this last year. Good luck to everyone and hope we all slay some more gray this year!
I just recently took stock. It is my second year of returning to 40k and I was surprised by how fast I built a stockpile. Probably an issue of now being a grown-up and having the money to buy those shiny toys. I will add everything that is not finished (painted + based), so built, not build, base coated, in progress...:
43 Space Marines,
15 Eldar,
60 BloodBowl models,
and my nemesis: the Boarding Actions Terrain Set!
So I am quite confident on the 40k side. Want to have my eldar done for the codex release. Want to get into AOS this year but the aim is to reduce the backlog first!
I recently started getting into warhammer in August, the pile of shame started with the necron combat patrol and it has expanded to a 3k point necron army and about 655 in admec. I go to my local warhammer store to play and the people there are great. I love every friday just playing with my buddys at the store.
I've got a few tyranids, and then a handfull of dwarves, wood elves, empire folks from old World. All together its probably between 50 and 100 models waiting in boxes ^^
All of the models were bought 15+ years ago as i've started painting again pretty recently
I'm just glad that during the fall and winter, I manage to almost completely finish assembling my pile of shame. The only kits left are one Imperial Knight, a Stormfang gunship and a Forge World Land Raider. Though now I've got a lot of painting to do.
Love the Video, makes me feel better about myself. I can count around 270 with a mix of Old World, 30k, 40k, AoS and non warhammer bits. The smallest pile is 40k with only 35 models left to build so thats something I guess.
Enevitable there will be more hiden out of sight (pushed to the corners as you've said) so make it a nice even 300.
(this is just what left on sprues, the grey spreads further than that)
Most of my minis are in various stages of painting but not counting the ones that are done (enough where I have no more desire to add to them) I’m looking at:
8 SCE, 96 SM/GK infantry, 6 tanks, 3 dreadnoughts/dreadknights, 24 MESBG minis, 6 infinity minis, and a box of mdf terrain pieces to build up (140 and terrain total). Honestly better than I thought but more minis are in the mail/about to be shipped
Well im don’t play Warhammer a long time😅 but this is my list:
-1 Astra militarrum combat patrol which is 28 models
- A tonn of Tau which counts 26
- And my new Drukhari combi patrol which is 18 model.
Anyway i often watch you while painting😄
I did a quick inventory of my pile of shame and it was so much that I was like "I probably shouldn't enter a contest for Skaventide..." BUT! Here we are! 155 models. Includes a Deathwatch Combat Patrol, Kill Team Cassius, AoS Battleforce Wrekkamob, Redemptor Dreadnaught, a handful of hero models & primarchs, some Chaplains, Heavy Intercessors, and a recently acquired Krieg Kill Team!
I just started got some space marines build and painted I’m just learning to play is really fun maybe this year I will have a army to paint and play !
I only have 4 myrmourn banshees and a craventhrone guard box to build and paint.
I only recently got into warhammer, but I already have probably around 50 models in my pile of shame
16, I've just recently gotten back into Warhammer so will see how quickly that number rises
We moved in August, and with the move came a storage locker in our apartment building! So I’ve got a nice five tier Home Depot shelving unit full of models to paint. I don’t have a number for you though.
Your video with your excel spreadsheet about all the minis in your collection and the states they are in inspired me, so I know I have 68 Space Marines, 42 Tyranids and 89 Seraphon for a total of 199 uncompleted. Goal this year is to get that number below 100!
I have an unopened Combat Patrol: Blood Angels box (the one with the Impulsor), an unopened Terminator squad box, and Christmas brought a Heavy Intercessor squad box (also unopened). Soon as I'm done with my current 3d print project, I'll probably start on the Aggressors from the BA box. I don't like opening new boxes until my current project is done! 😂
7. Just started with the hobby a couple months back, but give it time, the pile will grow from 7 to 700 in no time
12 minis in my pile of shame cause I'm new to the hobby and painting my Xmas haul
I have 63 models in my pile of shame... and over 200 primed and needing paint. Painting up an Eidolon of Mathlann from the Idoneth Deepkin would be an amazing video!
i bought a bunch of boxes while i was out of the country, now im stuck with the consequences of buying an entire blood angels army while away, chipping away
My pile of shame is about 40 models right now after a long holiday of sorting what I have so this video was great to see!
I thought i was quite good. Just finished painting my Tyranids and have already assembled my Necron combat patrol ready to paint, but then i remember what reignited my interest in the hobby, i was gifted a paint set because of all the unpainted minis i still had from back in the day. Those are still unpainted 😅 and i forgot to base my Tyranids, so i guess they are still on the pile as well 😂. 58 from the new stuff (30 is just basing) I bet there is another 50 odd models from my old second edition backlog.
I have a Kroot army box sitting on table, put together, basecoated, and just waiting for the fun painting to start. Then there's a whole bunch of Tau to go with em.
IKEA Samla boxes are the best ones. They perfectly fit into their Kallax shelves.
I have like 4 or 5 blood bowl teams waiting to be painted. Then a couple of warcrow models and, ofc, almost all Stormbringer magazins :D
51 space marines, 14 tyranids, and 34 of sisters of battle minis in the pile right now, hoo boy it’s scary when you actually count it
I currently have 8 models in my pile of shame, 4 of which are Scarab Terminators, one kitbashed chaos lord, the ninth edition space marine captain, and 2 Assault Marines from the same box
So i would love to even have a quarter of this pile, but i just started the hobby like 2 months ago. I have a black templars combat patrol, black templars sword bretheren, and a new ultimate starter set for Age of Sigmar. So about 60. Loving everything so far.
Have about 120 models that need painting in the pile of shame. They range from a few Tyranids, Death Guard, and Imperial Guard models. Also have two new Krieg boxes that need assembling/painting.
got around 90 ish models that are either still in the box or build but not yet painted, almost finished 1 model this year ^^
Started in June this year, I have around 70 modeles to paint for 26 painted
And I can't stop buying more everytime I am going to the shop
I've got the guard Christmas box from like a year or two ago and a few other guard kits I planned on kitbashing with a few blooded kill team boxes, some cultist kits, and even a necromunda kit to make a thematic army of traitor guard. I also got a good amount of chaos space marines with a couple 30k kits for kitbashing. I would say around 100 models in total, give or take. This is my pile of shame, it is small but it is mine.
I only have 57 minis in my pile of shame but have been working on finishing off what I have started before buying or building any more.
Im actually doing surprisingly well while on my college break cutting down my necron pile of shame. Out of 32 grey models, I have painted 20 warriors, 3 ophyidian destroyers, and a mostly painted Skorpekh Lord. I wanna get the rest of it done in the last 10 days of my break. Best of luck with the plastic crack, everyone!
I have 7 models left in my pile - the remainder of the 9th edition elite starter set, a couple new models for my necrons, and then a random LOTR box I just thought was cool.
My husband and i both collect and paint, but he is the one who mainly plays
Our current pile of shame is probably around 106 minis still on the sprue and 50 built but unpainted haha
My plan this year is to try to tackle the pile of shame!
I'm excited to see what you do with the Tiri crew for Malifaux. Some amazing models in that keyword
