Army Madness
« on: April 23, 2007, 04:48:48 AM »
Hello

Any one else find themselves painting an army only to be distracted by ideas for the next one . I am trying to paint my Bauhaus, but keep putting them down because I am looking in the rule book at the Lutherin's. Ideas for converting their cavalry and the style of  their forces have me painting challanged at the moment. Well at least I stopped trying to paint  all of my Bauhaus at once.

When it comes to ideas for coversions, scenarios, etc one man said it best -

 I know what you mean as I find it hard to pick which games system to start with as I have loads to choose from.Way too many choices and way too many distractions.

Hello

That may be an option but I was thinking of trying to graft fusiliers onto regular rough riders first. Probably cheaper that ways .

The GW plastic horses with the tabards seem like a good starting point-easy to convert to some type of armor as past units have demonstrated.  Gub's sculps are also a good motivational starting point.

I try not to get distracted.  But then one of my children wanders in to watch me paint... and then comes the question...

"Hey Daddy this is boring... wanna watch LOTR with me?"

How can I say no?  :)

I have no such problems, as I am a master of focus, a single minded minion of paint and....

Oh, look!  A shiny!

Good Luck on the painting, I feel your pain!

one of my problems is not the number of armies I have (3), but the fact that, since all I do is minis games, I always have something else to paint...

there's Heavy Gear Blitz, Warmachine, 40K (very rare now, but sometimes I have to dust off the Space Elves to knock some guy down a peg or two), and of course UWZ and Chronopia (which I don't play as much but I do have 2 armies)...

so unless I am focusing on one system, then I will never get anything done...

actually amazing that I have as much done as I do...

Hello.

Well I am hopelessly lost in my musings. If I ever get as good in building my forces as I imagine my forces, well look out.

I agree there...I have a great Buahaus force in mind, but wait, I don't own ANY Bauhaus...

so therefore, I stick to my big 3...

That's why I decided to get some of pretty much everything.  That way I can satisfy all my twisted pewter desires, as well as use it all for props for the MCRPG that I will some day run.  Some day.

I never started collecting anything from Bauhaus because, of all the people I usually play against, ALL of them have about 1500 points of Bauhaus, so if I ever wanted to play them, I could just use theirs...

I just prefer having my own forces, so since the game went away (temporarily), I have just been sticking to and collecting (re:expanding) minis for the forces I have...there are things I'd like, like a Wolf Pack, but I'm patient and can wait...
