So What Exactly Is My Hobby Anyways?

I've come to the realization that I have more projects on the go than I care to have, and when it comes to completing armies, I have a terrible track record. Just looking at my current projects and picturing the amount of time and energy that would have to go into finishing them made me tired!

I've also drawn the conclusion that I don't play nearly enough games of ANY system. Just look at the standings in the right column of this site. Currently, that means only seven games played in 2011 (one a month), and heck - all 3 of those 40K games come from a single day tournament! It's not that I don't like playing, but more that I never make the time to get a game in. 

These points lead me to two very honest self-observations: 1) I really don't like painting full armies, and 2) I'm not much of a gamer either.

So where does that leave me?

Well.. I think I'd be happiest painting showcase pieces; taking a lot more time per piece, building some nice bases, picking and choosing the models I want to work on. I've started trimming some of the fat in my plastic horde; some unpainted forces have gone out the door, and I'm working on the rest. I'm holding onto a few things, but won't be growing the collection anytime soon - or at the least only by one model at a time!
