"Where your minis go when you die poll...." Topic

So, have you earmarked where your little men will go after you pass on?

For me, yes. I have a nephew selected. If he's too old or not interested in them by the time I pass on I figure he can give them to his kids.

Actually, yes I do. Mostly so She Who Must Be Obeyed doesn't have to worry about what to do with my stuff.

Same for my books and re-enactment gear.

I'm taking them all with me.

Just general estate. I am sure the boys will realize they can get a few bucks for them, or pass them on to friends. Or my wife will just throw them out.

I'll be dead, so I won't care.

At the rate I paint, I'll never die…

I plan to have them arranged as an honor guard for the afterlife, and to confound future archaeologists

My darlin' wife will be able to profit mightily from my exit,as an old recce man I believe in the "pass without trace" ethos.I think I shall paint up an honour guard to accompany me on my last recce,I'll be ash and bone bits but having small archeological treasures painted by my hand escort me to Valhalla sounds about right.That is an interesting poll actually;which troopies to would you choose to symbolically escort your shade.All belief constructs welcome.

My oldest son will get mine, youngest gets all the video games.

The gaming crowd will help the wife sell them off.

They will find their way to other gamers and continue to see battlefields forever. It is immortality of a sort.

I've got an unpainted figure encased in epoxy… my immortality is assured.

My boys get first pick, then the gaming club members, and then a good friend has agreed to make sure the rest are sold for a reasonable price and the funds go to the memsahib.

Yup.
Some to my son, some to my nephew and some to a select few in my gaming club.

My son.

My friends will help my wife find a market for the figs and books.

My wife will hopefully sell them on and celebrate my life on the proceeds! Ok she might be sad that I'm gone but the up side is, she won't have to share the house with hundreds of men! One man is enough if you forget to put the seat down! Then my hobby room will probably be turned into a guest room! It's a win win for my better half! And yes I do have a dark sense of humour!

I'm to be stuffed and used as an NPC in 1 to 1 skirmish games.

I'd take them with me, but I'm afraid they'd melt.

Left them to the only guy with enough space to be able to store them all (he lives on a farm). Hopefully one of the kids will care to keep them one day – if so they are theirs.

Get real !! Our widows are going to sell them all on ebay. !!

I told my son he gets all my goodies like that, and may do whatsover he chooses. Thats why I'm workin on some Dio ideas so they won't be piles of *junk*.

Since I plan to be cremated, I can have him pick any soldier(long as its a good guy) for a Tomb for the Unknown Mini to remember me by.

Thought about it but so far only came up with a vague plan that one of you is going to get a E-mail to distribute them the best way you know how.

I'm thinking of doing sort of a Qin Shi Huangdi thing and having them all buried in formation around my grave as an honor guard in the afterlife. My wife is thinking they might be worth a few bucks.

I'll be dead, you figure out what will happen.

I'm more concerned about what they do while I'm asleep …

Kids will take anything that catches their fancy. Maybe stuff they helped me on when they were younger.

Wife will sell the rest, and live on a cruise ship being served umbrella drinks all day, by a waiter named Paco.

to my son (and/or daughter), then brothers, then a few close friends.

taking them with me…

We won't need our old minis, because in Valhalla, all desired miniatures are painted in seconds to exquisite perfection by nubile Moon Princesses and Orion dancing girls, and there are always plenty to go around for day-long gaming and feasting.

Probably my kids will take them. They are wargamers through and through.

My wife has said I will have some figures buried with me and the rest she will hock off.

because in Valhalla, all desired miniatures are painted in seconds

I thought Valhalla was having a big table, an endless supply of minis to paint, a refilling beer mug, and no reason to every get up for all eternity…

I'm immortal… therefore it is a moot point.

After all, there can be only one…

The Great Nephews have expressed interest!

In my will I have appointed a wargames executor. All my books, figures, terrain, etc are his to dispose of. My wife gets the proceeds with a cut to him for doing it.

I just remember when I was a kid; coming across a whole lot of cardboard boxes put out to be collected with the rubbish, full of the most beautifully built and painted 1/600 ships, going and knocking on the door, and finding out it was a widow whose husband had collected them, who had no idea what to do with the collection.

It would be tragic if that was still happening.

Ideally, I'd like to leave my whole collection to some organization that uses games to help kids with understanding math and history.
