I new it would happen again eventually.Didn't expect it to happen to me so soon after the last time though.
I can't be bothered to base and undercoat Guardsmen,
I can't be bothered to paint my Tyranids,
I can't be bothered to build 'Island of Blood' Skaven,
I can't be bothered to build a bike Command Squad,
I've managed to accomplish NOTHING hobby related at all since Friday night and all I did then was assemble 20 Guardsmen...
Unfortunately poorly armed humans with flash-lights aren't as much fun as giant bug monsters and I can't even be bothered to work on the giant bug monsters...
Not to mention the fact that the FLGS that I go to for motivation is about to move to a building so small that we'll be lucky to get 5 people in it simultaneously.....
That concludes my self pitying whining for a bit...I'll post something actually worth reading later...
Maybe...
I think it hits us all frequently mate. I usually put my stuff away and spend a few days playing video games or other things then (like I am doing now) I feel more focused on it when I get my paints out again. It's ok, you're allowed to get apathetic from time to time :)
ReplyDeleteI bet you are getting burned out from all those ehordes of simialr models. After your break from all models maybe work on a character or something.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately it is possibly the single biggest drawback of horde armies. I nearly have enough gaunts now to field an Endless Swarm and ye gods it feels more like pulling teeth than a fun hobby sorting all those damn models!
ReplyDeleteI have a two year old, all I have managed to paint is one Gargoyle in the last two months.
ReplyDeleteWhich shop is moving? I have not been to Brum in ages...
@ Lyracian - The Sutton Coldfield GW is moving over the road to a smaller unit.
ReplyDeleteThe main appeal of Sutton GW is that it has a large game room/hobby area which is why I go there. From the look of the location it's moving to they'll be lucky to get a couple of painting tables and 2 gaming tables in there.
I'm right there with ya. I want so baddly to sit down and hobby, but when the moment arrives... I say F it and go do something else.
ReplyDeleteWhat GW has failed to take into account is that much of the money that particular store makes is from kids/people copying the regular's successful armies. If I was on commission for the amount of Predators my Marine army has inspired other people to buy...
ReplyDeleteThat atmosphere of mutual assistance is lost in a small store if you can't actually spend time there comfortably.
mate I just hit the wall a week or so ago , everything is a horrible chore/PITA
ReplyDeleteI'm managing to force myself to assemble my mark II serpents (just) I have 5 of 8 Skimmers assembled now and each is more painful and takes longer than the last.
As for the Flgs issues , you should check out the club in solihull , we have space and terrain for ten tables,a subsidized bar , free parking in a location about 30 seconds walk from the very center of solihull.
the rules are so much more relaxed and adult friendly than a GW It would take to long to list, come along bring some mates ;o)
@ Sorrowshard - What day and time is this club of yours?
ReplyDeleteTis a monday evening, kicks off at 6 and ends @ 11
ReplyDeleteWe actually have provision for a larger community hall to run tournaments from once the club has matured a bit.
If you are looking for exact location, look for the solihull Royal British legion building , thats us ;o)
I see you found the club forum anyway, you can book games and arrange stuff/address issues on there :o)
@ Sorrowshard - I'll see if I can arrange to come over in a couple of weeks time.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the fee?
The fees are kinda being re assessed ATM , yet you need not worry as the first time anyone visits its always free. going forward there is set to be discussion within the club very soon.
