Well they say the first step to any issue is admitting you have a problem, but before I get to that, I've been a newer reader here and enjoy the posts so it was time I find therapy within the hallowed halls of fellow gamers. I notice alot of you from other forums I frequent and know a few of you personally, those in the Rochester NY area specifically. Now onto my problem. I have way too many armies and I continue to purchase more. Now the deals are too good to pass up I tell myself but that doesn't solve the issue. Some of you may be thinking there is nothing wrong with buying models, here is a run down of the armies I have managed to inventory and assemble first:

Imperial Guard: 300+ miniatures, 12 sentinals, 7 Leman Russes and a Valk. I have Catachans, Cadians, and Vostroyans plus all the Special Characters
Daemons: 138 models 2 soul grinders
Eldar: 137 models, all special characters, 3 warwalkers 2 WraithLords
Death Guard: 35 models, all forgeworld 15 termies, Typhus, the rest foot infantry.
Thousand Sons: 45 models, half termi half power armor and Ahriman
Iron Warriors: 100 models, mix of everything, 3 defilers, 2 vindicators, 1 predator

Not yet catalogued and hope to have done soon:
Dark Eldar: Pushing 300 models and I just bought another 2500 point list this weekend.
Tyranids: Mostly warrior army but several carnifexes, trygons and Hive tryants as well
Sisters of Battle, 115 models with 3 penitent engines and 3 exorcists
Blood Angels, All Death Company 45ish, Lemartes, Astorath, 3 Storm Ravens
Dark Angels: All Deathwing Termies with land raider and dreads
Space Wolves: Just purchased so roughly 20 minis and all the special character models except Cannis
And finally my baby, the one army I have had as long as I've been gaming. My Imperial Fists, all yellow of course or soon will be (Thank you Army Painter)
3 full battle companies, half of first company (Termies and FW) 3 preds, 3 Land Raiders, 9 Dreads, 4 Drop pods, Lysander of course, and all the fixings.

Roughly added up I have over 2k models, and yet I continue to buy more, not from GW or ebay but from friends or people at the shop getting out of the hobby. So now that i have given you the problem, perhaps you can help me solve it. Its not that I don't want to buy them, but I honestly and realistically have no place to put them, so what would you suggest for a weak willed model purchasing fool be in order to turn down amazing deals. As an example to one of these deals, 2500 points Dark Eldar army, the new stuff mind you, for 200 bucks.

Thank you and it's good to be officially Dakka now.

Welcome to Dakka, you are in good company here! I too suffer from self-diagnosed shiny model syndrome!
