need inspiration to start painting again.

my last major painting session / project was my ultramarines 2nd company (ish) including thunderhawk, for the last few months I aint done much at all apart from starting to paint an imperial knight but other things got in the way. want to start up again but have no idea what to start on as I honestly have far to much unfinished to know what to tick off next.

problem I have aswell is my mini's are not on display right now so I cant look along the shelf and say oooh ill paint that one today. ive probably even forgotten about some of them that need painting. considered reducing my collection but couldn't bring myself too it.

Thanks

Doug

I wouldn't do any of the above. I'd split your collection down to 500pt chunks, get one on display to show how much you have to paint. Once it's finished rotate the next chunk. It'll give the impression of reducing your collection without actually doing it, I know it sounds daft but we do it with the kids toys so they don't get bored of them.

Put them on display somewhere prominent so theyre ugly and annoying until you finish them

I need a thread like this but called "need time to start painting again". Im too into space engineers, bf4 and guns of icarus to have time to paint... especially since I only get about 3 hours a day to myself (and wife)
