less warhammer

PM me for my address. I'll help you 'store' some of it.

i don't want anyone to have it MagickalMemories

One of these might help.

Then you will have the suffer your 14,000pts of SM with no help from me.

Well, I'm not sure what the point of this thread is, BUT, if you really are struggling for ideas, use the Dakka trading forum.

Eat them.... then they become part of you so you don't have let go of those magical memories.... and you still free up some space.

Step 1: Buy some shelves to keep them on
Step 2: ?
Step 3: Profit

Out of curiosity, how many models is that? Also, are you looking to sell them if not give them away (MagickalMemories is was worth a shot )? But yeah, I think the best way to deal with them, like Platuan said, is shelves. If no wall space, then bins, if no money for either then there's not a whole lot you can do.

Buy a third case.

Buy absolutely nothing new except codexes/rulebooks until you have everything painted.

Oh, I think you misunderstood.
I'm just offering to STORE them for you.
I'll just hold them for you. That's all.
Yeah.
That's absolutely what I meant.

I keep trying to do this, and it's not working.

My latest plan: save for something Really expensive (like this, the Leviathan Mortis and Crusader, with a several more designs possible in the future) that involves very few models. It will take longer for me to purchase it, giving me time to work on the assembly/painting backlog, and will take less time to complete itself.

you could also buy 2 of the Battlefoam 1520s, or MAXs, and buy only infantry trays for one bag, and only vehicle trays for the other...


Otherwise, my only suggestion would be to sell off some of the excess bits.. a couple squads here or there

buy another case, I can store 30k's worth on shelves along a wall with not much room taken up, so its not like they are taking up much space.

What cases are they currently stored in?

Just buy a bigger case. Did this really warrant a thread or is it more a case of 'look at me, I have x points of miniatures'?

Learn some self control?

Maybe aversion therapy might help. How about pounding yourself in the wallet every time you enter the GW store?

Oh, sorry, they do that already.

Back to the the drawing board...

Trade it for 14k points of Deathwing, you should half the size of the space needed.

Pics or it is a lie...

So, I have 3 armies, 2 of which are fully painted.

Should I make a thread about it?

Why not?

Put it in the modeling section.

Yeah, I have a suggestion. Don't just click "OK" on the two boxes that popped up when you posted this warning you about the terrible formatting; go back and capitalize and punctuate correctly. This whole topic is spammy; figuring out a solution for this is VERY simple, and is completely contingent on what you'd like to do with your collection.

All I really see here is someone who's (poorly) trying to showboat how much "stuff" he has.

Locking pointless, ego-stroking thread.
