I know how it feels to sell a collection. Insurance company told me I had 30 days to put a new roof on my house or my mortgage contract would be void and I would lose my house. I can't let my family be homeless. So.... I sold all of my MTG decks. I collected for 20 years. I actually cried as I boxed them to ship out. But it put a brand new roof over my family's head. 11000$. Ill never play again. So.... I just got into Wh40k. And you sir have become my personal painting teacher. You are a good person for what you did for the guy who sold his army. God bless you.

[@TrashDeviant]

I was the same until I started batch painting. Now I can smash out a tactical squad in almost the time it took me to do two minis. Say I was painting a tactical squad of Dark Angels. May as well do the whole ten in base coat while I've got the green out. Just smash it on there. Then the same with the Leadbelcher and so on. As one mini is set aside to dry, grab the next one in line and repeat. Then I end up with a finished playable unit that looks pretty good, and I can move onto the next unit. Really helps get through the backlog of unpainted minis.
