Figures I'll never paint.

Painted figures I'll never use.

Paints I don't need.

Tools I'll only use once to make something for armies that never get painted.

Books about periods that I'll no longer be interested in by the time the book reaches me.

Rules for periods I think I might become interested in ... but never do.

Paint - I like to have spares
Orcs - Even though I have lots i still pick up suitable ones if I see them - ie ones that are  not Cartoony or GW style
Shiny Figures - Although I am trying not to buy any many in 2015 as I want to spend the money on 20mm Buildings

I'm sorry but you haven't thought this through properly. What you really need to do is make the buildings yourself and use the saved money to buy more shines to use with aforementioned homemade buildings. Simples!  :)

I would love to make my own stuff, unfortunately I am really ham fisted when it comes to modelling.  Painting: fine.  Glueing: fine.  Drilling: fine.

I even destroyed a las-cut building I was making for DMH: seriously >:(
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

What you say is true, but I do not have the time to paint figures or the time and skills to make a good job of the  buildngs I want.

Way too many figures, I think  I want them and I know I will use  them but then some other range takes over. Bases, all sizes, all shapes, I need them and will use them. Paints, always looking for new colours, I know I will use them. Rules, I know I will play all these rules. If I keep repeating to myself that I will use everything I can get through the week without going mad! ;D
