This may be heresy, but for the first time in 20 years since I returned to wargaming, I'm nearly at the bottom of the lead pile... I have the LIR to finish (which are 3D resin prints, so can you even call them part of the lead pile?) and then the final chunk of the second hand Legio Heroica Muslims I acquired last year to paint up as a Syrian force and then... that's it! What am I going to do? Does anyone have the number to the Painters' Anonymous phone line...? P.

You have clearly lost your way my son, the path to righteousness is paved with unpainted lead, plastic, and 3d printed resin….

Don't wargamers die if they finish painting everything they own? Better order a few more figures just to be safe...

Time to order more armies! Probably the ‘correct’ answer, but I’m determined to finally finish everything on my desk before I do that… crazy, I know 😜 P

Have them delivered to an understanding friend/relative/neighbour 3. Finish lead pile and take a picture of empty work bench 4. Rush over as fast as you can and pick up new toys before lightening strikes you! Jim

In my experience though words like "No love they are not new, I have had em for ages in loft" should be used. Ppossibly not believed but worth a try.

Obviously as this is causing you some anxiety, in the spirit of very concerned friendship, I'm quite prepared to lend some of my spare figures for you to paint if you like? 😉
