What do you want to happen to your miniatures? Are they in your will?

Will they end up in the garbage? Craigslist? Ebay? Storage till your partner dies? Melted down? Donated?

Personally, I want to buried be with mine.

What do want to happen to your cherished little buddies when you pass into the great unknown?

Love, Bacon

It was a blast cause like every week we'd get together to play and we'd always bring out a new unit we'd put together that week.

He eventually started a Chaos Word Bearer's army after their re-vamp late 3rd early 4th while he was away w/ the US Army on a mission to Kosovo. Sadly just before his return home he was diagnosed w/ a brain tumor.

He continued to play, paint, model and fight the cancer til he could do so no longer. He put the models away and began selling off everything that would never be worked on. So after about 4 years the cancer took him. He had moved back in with his mother since he had been unable to meet the physical/emotional demands of living alone.

I'm guessing that during my time there a few gamers had either had exes throw out their stuff or they just got fed up.

Though one time I did find out that a gamer in question had passed on, he was a middle aged gentleman and I found several painted fantasy figures as well as a leman russ BT and Abaddon the Despoiler, as well as other artifacts from his walk of life. I talked briefly to the person throwing it out and they said his ex wife didn't bother to keep anything for their son, and just tossed it away. So his friend was charged with disposing the rest.

Really a tragic state of things, I can only imagine when I find things like this in my line of work I have to wonder why.

One time I found a huge duffel bag full of codexes, and some BL books including the Killing Ground UM novel, a almost complete black reach set and some sprues of old fantasy orks and leman russ track guards.
