Some are insane, some only buy what they paint, what is yours like?

Ive got an extra bedroom thats been turned into my miniature room, like 14 or 15 armies in various stages of being converted. Throw in all the painting and modeling supplies....and it takes up alot of space.

I haven't had any money to buy miniatures lately, so I'm nearly out of stuff to paint. Usually, I have a couple of units that have the bare minimum colors to be considered painted that are waiting on more attention, so it's all a work in progress.

Actually 6 models.

-Corbulo
-Sanguary priest
-squad sgt
-Baal Pred
-Baal Pred
-Punisher LR

Everything else is still unbuilt in its box.
-spare space marine kits
-2 valks
-shadowsword

I have none of my units, more than 1,000 units, painted. I have them primed and stuff, i just haven't got the time to paint them.

Yeah, I have a glass cabinet filled with half painted or primed models. Nothing is finished, nothing...

Please don't take offence, I'm just intrigued as to why you purchase so many if you don't paint them?

I have about 36 unfinished models laying around, not including my FW Space Marine =o

i have maybe a good 60-70 models unpainted/primed black.

Not many, a WIP sorcerer, and a couple of sonic marines

I have a ton of un-painted troops but most my larger models or hq and elites get painted the rest is just so tedious sometimes.

I have yet to paint:
A squad of Fire Dragons,
A squad of Guardians,
A Deathleaper,
and a War Walker.

So depressing looking at unpainted models, but my eyes are bigger than my belly when it comes to purchasing and getting time to paint.

I'm firmly in the other camp ... around 13-14k pts of unpainted 40k stuff, all thats really painted is my eldar sans the fire prisms, and half my orks ... everythign else is in either grey or primed white or black lol .... pretty depressing really, though im making headway on my tyranids ... my first trygons like 5% done after like 3 hours :(

I've just got a couple from my PCS to paint, then I have to go and buy more. I never buy more than one box at a time, and always finish painting them before going after the next unit.

Might be a wargamer.

Ive got like none unpainted, because i paint my miniatures before i glue them together

yeah,
Lets see Unpainted I have;
A army of about 1500pts IG Pretorians.
A army of about 1500pts Nurgle Daemons.
About 10 units of Eldar including a FW Vampire Raider
Countless Grots and parts to make 2 squads of GrotBurnas and 2 squads of GrotLootas, 1FW MegaDread plus FW parts to make a second.
About 6 Plaguemarine units plus 2 FW dreads and a FW Chaos Warhound Titan.
3 or 4 bloodbowl teams...

This thread is making me depressed...

Panic....

OMG, I just started a list of the crap I dont have painted and got kinda sick at myself. I have like 150 models from Marines to Land Raiders not even filed! Another 60 Primed and a few wips! Need to stop buying so much stuff! But ive gotta stock up before the price hike, that seems like a good excuse!

All I have is Assault on Black Reach (although I'm gonna get a Rhino soon), and I've painted all of my marines except for three of the terminators. None of my Orks are painted yet.

I currently have a Daemon army halfway finished and after that I have to start working on my new BA army..................sigh.

FRICK! I forgot about AoBR orks, SH nids, Terrain and Planetary Empires!

I have boxes upon boxes of unpainted models.

I tend to buy more than I need when I buy, since I look at the "Entire Army" perspective.

I feel ashamed sometimes lol.

Well I've Currently got 1 Warpwolf, 1 Argus, 1 Box of Orc Boyz (WHFB), 1 Goblin Spear Chukka, and 20 Night Goblins to paint. I'm using the Boyz and Night Goblins for Mordhiem. When I finish with my Circle Orboros stuff I'll be at exactly 15 points for it.

Sorry to admit it but none of mine are actually finished. I have 3000 points of goblins, 2500 marines and 3000 dark elves. Unfortunately most are painted but none are based.

Oh, let's seee.... In terms of completely built yet unpainted models, I have about 9 orks, a couple of space marines... but if you add in my pieces still under construction.... oh... 6 tactical marines, the basing of a seraphim, a repentia, some of those 9 orks, some stormtroopers, another seraphim, and don't even get me started on the stuff I haven't yet started but envision. From that, I have an imperial squad to get more inspiration for (5 more peeps need inspiration), and IG squad that will need crouchers, a moving chimera, some noise marines, a full-ish repentia squad (different models from different ranges), more seraphims, some magnetized SM heavy/ special weaponmen, some imperial bikers, etc. The list goes on. Oh yes, and to add to that built/ partially built list are an honour guard, a TS chaplain, and a TS veteran sergeant. And maybe some more mortars for my imperials. And maybe a Rogue Trader. And maybe.....

I've got very little unpainted stuff.

I've got a SM commander,tigurius, an honour guard marine, 4 nobz, several dozen termaguants, 2 nid warriors,15 ork boyz and a valkyrie as WIPs.
As for unpainted...a couple odds and ends from AoBR (the deffkoptas and some nobz) and some stripped marines....

Almost everything I have is a WIP, considering I've got to re-paint every model I own (I've gotten so many better paints now..Just looking at my old mordian Blue Ultramarines makes me sick...enchanted blue is way better)

I've got 4 black reach sets worth of orks as yet unpainted, along with another 100 slugga boys, and and any number of other ork vehicles. Orks are never-ending, and they keep making cool new stuff too, so there will be boar riders to add to this soon too.

A couple of tanks for my Emperor's Children, a Cleaved army that I'm logging progress on, some Eldar jetbikes if I ever get around to them, and an IG Vostroyan army with over 200 infantry yet to do.

I may have a 1,000 painted models.

Unpainted, there's probably about 4 or 5,000 models. I'd guess 500 or so assorted sci-fi stuff, 1,000 fantasy models, and the rest historicals.

Just a ten Marines for me. Just primed them today.
