Final Query For August: (A Highlander Dilemma, “there can be only one“ ......choice), Would you rather have more minis or more paint ??   O.o

 

Hmmm... I'll go with paints, since I probably have 200+ already, so the easiest way to keep adding to the miniatures stash is... Acquire more paints, try out other brands, try out different types of paints, and all that! 

 

I am curious though, doubles and triples of paints still count in this tally, right? ::P:

Probably more minis. In spite of the miniature storage problems. As a gamer, it's always fun to have the "right" mini to represent what you want. Be it painted or not (though painted is best).

 

I can compensate with not having enough paints by mixing them and trying different combinations with a limited palette.

I've stopped collecting minis (been years since I put paint on one).

Oil paints are expensive, so more paint it is!

I have more minis right now than I can possibly finish in the time I have left here, BUT I can always use some new colors & restocks of frequently used shades.

Since I have more minis than I can ever finish, and am printing them now as well, more paint!

Seeing as most of my collection has been unpainted for most of my life I'll go more minis!!! Only got a fairly large amount of paints a few years ago and am working to finish of armies/projects I've had for ages. I'm obsessed with minis while paint is just a very nice addition.

I find that image of Benedict Cumberbatch crawling around like a year-2001 Britney Spears to be more disturbing. That's going to haunt my dreams... and not in the cool way.

More paint! I can always strip my minis and repaint the mini, but I can't take the paint off and reuse that paint. There are several different brands and ranges that I want to try (chief among them being Foundry paints). Plus, I can get my arm workout in from all the shaking to keep every paint mixed and viable. Now, that's what I call forethought and efficiency. :winkthumbs:

 

Plus, it may get to the point where I am so desperate to get everything finally painted that I just start throwing open paint pots and bottles at them. So I'll need as much ammo as I can get.

You'd want to try dunking them first… <_<  You would obviously need to fill bigger containers with the paint, but less would spill.

More minis. I have a satisfactory amount of paint already. Worst case scenario, I just mix them.

 

Thanks for hosting, @Corsair, and for filling in, @TGP!

But... but... if I dunked them, I couldn't be the Jackson Pollock of mini-painting, and the miniature abstract expressionist movement would never take off.

*pulls up blackboard, works out mathemagical equations to try to play the system that people call reality*

 

..........Minis made of paint!
