im willing to throw my entire collection on this pile because of how little i got to use any of it...

but of the ones that actually fit the bill, theres a few waves. completely unopened we have a selection of necron boxes. 2 immortals, orikan the diviner and a nightscythe.

in the still on sprue, we have Belisarious cawl and Greyfax from the gathering storm all in one. I got it for Celestine, and while she's painted, the other two stay on sprue.

over to the unassembled and unpainted, where we have a selection of metal sisters models, consisting of sisters special weapons and seraphim with a few metal canonesses, i picked them up on lots to go with my starting sisters force years back, and since i hardly got to use the other sisters i picked up (celestine included) them, this particular batch contributes to incredibly deep shame for picking up. i went to far, way to fast.

so yeah, i have bits from several editions just... here. and it stinks to think about. if it's just in boxed, a fair amount. but im well into a LOT of unused. just never got off the ground, i guess.

Just one box.

An unreasonably large pile.
So large that I quite regularly forget I have something laying around waiting to be built in the shed/lounge room pile.
I've bought extras of things a bunch of times only to realise I had an unopened box of it already.

I laugh at the idea of only US$250 being considered a "huge pile".

I’m not sure what to vote- I only have one unopened box, but it’s the Knight Preceptor, so pretty expensive.

See that stuff above? Completely true. All of it, every single word. Stands to reason.

Does it have to be fully unopened? B.c if so then maybe 10, now i do have like 30+ boxes that i opened for a couple bits and are using for conversions for other things that i ended up using the pieces through out the years and always going back to them, but for many of them i could still make full playable units, does that count?

And the ones that are not open are my DE, its more Reavers, Hellions, Beastmasters, New Incubi, etc.. things that won't get played in 8th b.c 8th doesn't work with them.
