Or just sort through it and put 80% on eBay and see what the people that buy to actually use it do with it all. Seriously, it's actually a bit depressing. We had a show called Hoarders in the UK, it was about people that obsessively build up piles of stuff they never intend to use, to the point it takes over their homes, and this seems like another form of that addiction. And I am not having a go at the guy in the video, a lot of us have mild forms of this, but I don't know we should be rewarding it by becoming a free painting service🤣.

This IS a fun video, and it’s so cool and interesting to see such a massive collection (reminds me of some crazy TTG yard sales I’ve been to in the past), but I can’t help but feel that this guy doesn’t need help building and painting his models. If he has the type of money to throw around on a collection that large (that he doesn’t even build or paint) he certainly could be spending some of it for commission paint jobs or something. 😅 It was more of a “feel-good” vibe when you helped someone who had lost their army before, I feel like helping someone who’s more needy is the thing to do. (Though I admit again, it was really entertaining to see that hobby room and everything in it.)

[@cassiomx88]

I agree. He must have a lot of disposable income to have that lot and still going at at it.

[@3Xero3]

Kinda think you should've included the guy in on the painting process. Sometimes just getting that ball rolling is the hardest part. Maybe with some friends encouraging him n painting along with him, might give that confidence and drive to paint even more.

[@xXSEGISMUNDOXx]

The concept is not horrible, but I liked it better when you helped out people that really needed it, like the guy that was selling his army unwillingly to pay bills or the one you gifted to someone's dad that had to quit the hobby long ago. This dude has a problem with hoarding and that's it. He could spend less in plastic and more in painting comissions if he wanted.

[@Banterbear]

​@@mememachine6022I agree. It's a form of addiction and hoarding habit. It's when people are just buying stuff for the hit of having the box in their possession, and doing it impulsively without analysing what they are doing it for.

[@unrealassasination]

Eh, not saying this didn't raise an eyebrow for me, but, I don't think it's bad. He seems to he doing well (healthy, house not a mess) and, as long as it doesn't get him some financial trouble, it seems fine? Yeah, he can do with less, for sure. But, as long as he's responsible with it, can't fault him. I think it's comparable with people collecting books/vinyl records/wine/whiskey etc. Etc. I feel this is the kind of thing that happens when you got too much disposable income.

[@rupertjones5197]

@ difference is you drink the spirits, listen to the records. I understand your point of view but I feel it’s a slippery slope he’s on. House etc looks grand and he looks smart etc but that doesn’t mean their is/isnt a problem. It’s his money end of the day not mine but I think that’s just too much personally.

[@Felber0784]

another example of why: Collecting Minis, Painting Minis and playing the games are 3 completely separate hobbies. This guy just happens to be heavy in all three.

[@Therockypony]

In my opinion, collecting boxes is only a "hobby" if you look for specific things, like say an OOP model from the 80s or one that you couldn't afford in your childhood but keeps haunting your dreams. Buying 3 boxes of each new major release is not collecting imho, it's hoarding. Especially if you know very well you'll never get to paint them. Buying one box because you want to have each set on display, ok. But buying 3 boxes for the sake of it? Definitely not a healthy behavior. Of course, to each their own and the lad seems to be doing good for himself. But I think we shouldn't normalize this type of behavior.

[@grahamlogan4068]

This is quite heartwarming too, what a fun idea for a series. One of the things I'm most excited for is seeing you paint some of my favourite factions again, but to the colour scheme and style of the owner (like Tyranids 😄). Perfect excuse for lots of creative recolours haha! Actually may I make a suggestion please? - If the onwer has a specific style, would you and Lukas challenge each other to most closely replicate it? Perhaps a more interesting aim would be to have the most interesting version of the owners' style/who has "the best take on it". There is also so much potential for you to help them improve.

[@GPFallaize]

I had a fairly sizable collection of models at one point but sold all of it during a time when money was tight. Now I am older I try to limit my purchases to only what I am working on but recently I have allowed that to creep. My goal is to ensure I build and paint regularly. Set myself modest monthly targets of at least 1 unit a month. Does not always work but provided I come back to it I should get though it all eventually.

[@Brissebrajan]

Great idea, I’ve slacked on my collection for many years now. I started in 3rd Ed 40K, when I didn’t have much money but friends I worked with at the time that got me into 40K. Then I got a better job and the buying part went up, but the playing time and build/painting suffered, and the friends were many states away so maybe once a year playing while on a vacation to their place. Now my collection of still in plastic wrapped boxes, still in the box, half built, or in primer is about 1/4 or 1/3 of the collection in this video; and that doesn’t include the board game wall I have. Basically I’ve seen game stores with less inventory lol. AoS Spearhead has given me a little bit of drive to try and get some small armies done, and hopefully Kill Team will do the same.

I'm a sucker for a pile of shame/backlog video. Love it. I'm not that bad (yet) but I've started to use JIRA to manage my backlog and set out a roadmap. It has helped me manage my spending as I have a full view of what I have.

Albin is so cool, he seems like a cool friend to have in Warhammer and such a great collection.

[@roykemm8387]

This Is an awesome idea! Please turn this into a series so that I can feel better about my own pile of shame once in a while!

[@alex-simpson]

This is such a lovely video. Gave me a smile to see humans doing cool things to help other humans.

[@sittingstill3578]

Alvin sounds like a great friend for Emil picking up all the extra miniatures.

[@Sharklops]

these turned out SO GOOD! I feel like I don't see green and orange much but it's such a striking combination.

[@jackbeanstock7710]

yeah, i can relate. me brother passed away unexpedidly a couple years ago and i inhierited all his warhammer, game of thrones and dungeons and dragons minisatures and terrain sets. omfg ill never have time to assemble them all. its crazy

[@sirrathersplendid4825]

Probably a good idea to sell some of it, perhaps the game you’re least interested in. Not easy but it’ll be therapeutic.

I was so worried that Lukas would not get the anthrax I sent him for Christmas. It truly is the gift that keeps on giving. Get well soon.

[@codygallagher8941]

Amazing work! Well done! Would love a continued series!

[@gerwynwilliams8702]

I loved the idea of the series. You should try and get them to be in the workshop with yourself for a couple of days to get them to also work on their army

[@michaelmorgan9086]

I love content like this it's wholesome and cool to see. Not only helping people in the community but just meeting people so awesome

[@ReverendJoshK]

I LOVE the colour scheme! I was thinking of doing something similar with some tyranids based off of Imperfect Cell from DBZ. What a great inspiration, thank you!

[@louisgworld]

It is wild how similar that paint scheme is to my own Nids, even the martian coloured bases.

[@FaxeAxe]

Good work guys. Your videos are an island of joy. Thank you all.

[@AlexMinis]

Amazing ! That's a really great idea ! Love it and hope Lukas has recovered from the pneumonia ! Keep going :)

[@heyy13]

This was a nice thing to do for your friend and his collection is pretty amazing! Also, I hope Lucas is ok!

[@chriskelley996]

I'll admit, I thought you were nuts when you said you weren't liking the peachy-colored flesh and wanted to switch to gray.. but, the gray looks pretty killer, too. (For the record, I absolutely love the peach.) Orange (my fav color) and green is my favorite color combo.. badass looking army, guys!

[@joshbernal4864]

Man that green scheme was really awesome. I actually liked the more pink skin tones but the other one's looked great as well.

[@davem8972]

“No no no I bought some today actually” had me dead

[@toddandrews8501]

im curious as to why you have a humidifier at your desk while painting?

[@SquidmarMiniatures]

We live in a veeeery dry environment. Helps keep the paint moist longer on the brush

[@MTurcotte99]

that style of flesh you did on the big tyranid with all the tentacles around it mouth, do you have a tutorial for it? or something similar? i have a Horticulous Slimux i was trying to convince myself to start but didnt have a reference i liked.

[@marktrevett8438]

Well done great job , bet Lukus was sad about missing all that work merry Xmas to all of you.

[@ryaneasterling1556]

Classic squidy video. Plan to help someone out, set a too short deadline, have someone gets sick, deadline gets reduced. Models look great

[@poppetangel]

This guy is like me with books. The collecting is like a seperate hobby to the reading.

[@sirrathersplendid4825]

So true. I used to buy only books that I needed for my academic research, literally hundreds a year. And I did read parts of most of them. Great to have them on the shelf within arms reach whenever I needed to go down any particular rabbit hole. Research is now mostly on hold, but I’m still buying tens of books each year, probably out of habit. Still like owning them, but most of them never get read. 🤦

[@Tharrel]

It’s interesting how there are 3 (at least) separate hobbies - collecting, painting and playing. I love painting and am always surprised at how many people play with gray minis. I will paint 2-3 kill teams for every one game I play.
