Oh lol, i should have mnetioned these are the things i want done. I might drop my HH, 3rd edition caused it to fizzle in the area.
But also ignore my entire Tau army and sister army un painterd that will be next. and Kahdor

**The Newman**

Finished the 30 small commission models. I'm still not sure what faction this stuff actually belongs to.

Spoiler:

Got the last of my Forge Fathers done. Up to 160 minis for the year so far. I picked up a Luke Skywalker mini for a friend's birthday present and this thread helped to prevent me from grabbing a whole big box of Landsknechts as well.

Congratulations on your progress!

I cut my progress in half and deleted half my list......
Bu biting the bullet and selling my HH bar a few key units

Selling stuff is a totally legitimate way to tackle the Pile imo.

its hard because it always feels like im admitting i made a mistake

**Easy E**

I painted two Yeti for Heroquest. Not even worth updating the big board with that yet.

Spoiler:

Got my last battlemechs and tanks primed, so they're added to the "working pile".

Admitting I'd made mistakes was what let me avoid making those mistakes in the future. I've gotten to where I don't buy things unless I plan to paint them immediately and its largely helped keep the pile under control.

**The Newman**

I tend to buy stuff in big blocks because I want enough stuff to actually play with, that occasionally bites me when I don't like an army. Then again, I have no problem painting an entire army and then turning around and selling it.

Speaking of which, just finished up all the brute size models in this commission batch of Crypt Ghouls or whatever the heck these things are.
