[@harrylane7817]

That’s a hefty chunk of plastic and metal! I had a similar dilemma recently when I was moving house. Honestly, you’ve got to be really ruthless with what you choose to keep and get rid of. What I found helpful was to put it in three piles. “Definitely keep”, “projects I can see myself doing this year”, “honestly, I’m not getting round to this”. It was a good way to clear out kits which I kept saying I’d do soon but kept getting superseded by other projects. Next, look at splitting the pile into manageable chunks: 30 Guardsmen, a Leman Russ, a squad of Bretonnians, etc. That way you can start planning out your projects. Also, utilise what you learnt from the Great Mordian Restoration Project. Yes you can paint 90 Guardsmen in a week, but it burnt you out and you didn’t want to paint anything for a month. Finally, keep the projects varied. Maybe start with 30 Guardsmen, then move on to a Leman Russ, then a Warband of LOTR Dwarves, then a squad of Crisis Suits. By changing the colours you’re painting every couple of months, it should keep your brain stimulated and stop burnout. Best of luck 👍

[@nickclemitus4598]

As someone who buys plenty of ork things, the best thing I've found is to take it in steps. I start by having one day of assembly and priming. Then I paint everyone's pants and belts another day. Shirts if they got them and so on. It helps prevent burnouts and gives me something to look forward to for the weekends and vacation. 🐺

German longbeard here. Nice pile of shame. Subscribed. I would suggest implementing once or twice per month a painting streaming session to combat the pile. Judging from the mass of models it would take multiple years to paint them all and then the question remains, if you have enough display glass cabinets for the horde as putting painted models in boxes is only the last option. Edit: I won´t advice to sell the models as you might want to explore one game system or another in a few years from now only to find out that reacquiring the minis is more expensive than in the past. In addition I strongly recommend to focus on one faction and paint them completely. It´s hard but manageable. If you suffer from burnout by just using one paint scheme have an alternative faction to paint until you feel compelled to go back to the main project. This works for me fine as my vintage Space Marines in Iron Hands colours are almost finished and as a relaxation project there are Iron Empire Raging Heroes minis on the painting desk.

[@philippschmitz1787]

A few years ago, I recognized that I have more than I could ever paint in a lifetime if I won't use my vacation of several years to paint day and night. I came to the conclusion that I could either put it on eBay OR just stop to call that mountain of plastic, resin and metal pile of shame and start calling it "my massive bitz box". It's just a psychological trick, but it lifts the pressure and gives you a positive feeling. If I now build models I possess for over a decade mainly untouched, I don't work through my pile of shame to get something finally done, no, I use my magic bitz box to create minis out of thin air or I take the soulless characterless shell of a Primaris, dip it into my firstborn bitz and boom, coolest looking Marine ever and it's mine and no-one else has it, but me. It is of course exactly what "work through your pile of shame" means, but by giving it that positive twist, you learn to cherish your collections, whether it's finished or not... because, hey, it's a HOBBY, don't push yourself beyond the point you stop having fun.

[@joshy7759]

8:10 just because it isn't done doesn't mean it wasn't appreciated! I work about that too, but my gf told me that she's happy she gets to see my reaction when I get it, when I start it, and when I finish it. So that's encouraging!

[@Emidretrauqe]

They switched most of the old metal sculpts to resin when they came out with "Finecast" back in 2011. The current model came out in 2015 if I recall, so that was about 4 years of those old sculpts being printed in resin. I bet there are plenty of Keepers, that one still had a full 10 years to get a plastic release, and people were tired of waiting back in 2011....

Props on acquiring such an impressive collection. I agree with the commenter who said its not a pile of shame, it's a pile of opportunity. I have something similar with Guard and Eldar. Guard infantry I can clear pretty quickly. Guard armor and artillery get basecoated, post-shaded, sealed, oil pinwashes, some freehand unit insignia (no decals for the Krieg 26th Combined Army Group, consisting of the 248th Line Korps, the 313rd Seige Regiment, and the 586th Assault Korps), chipping, weathering, more sealing, and then some mud. Yeah, it will take me forever to clear my Krieg armor backlog...

Just remember it's not a bargain if you never build them. 😂 I bought some Thunderworlf cavalry in 2016 and finished them... this week. All been there. I think you need a video project on tearing through these.

[@TheDigitalThreat]

Ive only been collecting since early 2022 and have equally (if not more) of a pile already. I started off ONLY buying new stuff when i finished a kit, this last the first two months. Then new box sets and kit releases came out and were hard to aquire so I would begin buying asap (as is why GW pull that shit). Its got to the point I have box set upon box set for just about every GW game, for dozen+ armys stacked up waiting to be started, majority still sealed and collecting dust outside my main Blood Angels and Necron 40k armys. Thousands of bucks worth of single unit kits to fill out those box set armies still waiting to be started on top of the other 4 separate 5k point Space Marine armys, a 10k Necrons, 5k Tyranids..., 2k Orks..., 2k Ad Mech..., and thats just 40k.... Then I have a Shit ton of Stormcast, Kruleboyz and Nighthaunt, as well as a bunch of various others factions/armies like chaos dark eldar, and so on. Basically I have at a minimum 500 points of every 40k or AOS army possible, on top of tons of killteams and warbands, and multiple armys for many other game systems like star wars legion, fallout wasteland warfare, and so on... If I buckle down HARD every day I MIGHT just build them all, but I have no chance in hell to paint them all in y lifetime. Simply not possible for one human, even painting 8 hours a day till I die. So much sealed plastic crack one would honestly think I was opening a shop. I definitely have a problem too, especially when I check my bank statement since finding this addiction, err i mean "hobby". I am proud of how much I have done already at least, but yea I bit off WAY MORE than one man can chew.

I also have about 2300 points worth of Imperial Knights still in boxes. I have a handful of unpainted Grey Knights, Ad Mech, Necrons, Death and Sisters models. I've got around 3000 points of some built, some painted, some still in box Drukharii models. I still have an unopened Shadowvaults Kill Team box as well as well as a handfull of unpainted minis from Blackstone Fortress and Ashes of Faith boxes(most of those are painted though). And finally I have yet to crack open my Leviathan Box. I paint a lot, but unfortunately I buy more.
