I have been in a similar situation. In my case, I started in college, and ended up staying in the same city as the college, while my friends all moved back home. It was a college town in the south, and D&D was still thought to be the devil by a few, so locals were not really going to play. The younger groups were more into card games. Eventually the shop stopped ordering new GW stuff, and the owner would ask you to move for magic players if you were playing 40k.

Without anyone to play against, I lost motivation to do anything. About a year went by and I completely stopped painting. I set aside the minis I absolutely loved, a forgeworld model and some of my first plaguebearers. I put the rest on assorted swap sites. I went probably 4 or 5 years without anything to do with 40k aside from reading the horus heresy and 10 minis on my desk. Then I moved to a larger city and decided I wanted to meet some new people. That was almost exactly 5 years ago, my collection is massive, and I've made a ton of new friends.

If you don't want to unload your goods, then hold onto them, see if there is another shop, local facebook group or whatever to find another group to play with. Maybe just sit on your models for a bit, put them in a box and see if you get the itch to play again.

If you are dead set on selling, you have 2 options. Make decent money, but sell slow, could take months to unload the bulk of it. Or make a bit of cash and sell your collection as a whole, at like 60% off of MSRP, or less.

If you want to sell as bulk, let me know when you get some pics. It's a shame to hear that you no longer enjoy your hobby, I hope you find something else you enjoy even more.

Excuse me Sir, do you have a moment to talk about Our Savior of the mature player, Historical Gaming?

Hail Caesar, SAGA, Black Powder, Canvas Eagles, Bolt Action etc etc. So many games with better balance, a more relaxed atmosphere and models that don't suddenly become obsolete.



I've moved onto historical games in a big way (and board games) and haven't looked back. I've kept my Warhammer for the occasional beer and biscuits games (because I'm British) where the rules are treated as a sadly amusing curiosity and fun is the aim.
