We wargamers joke about if you ever paint all your unpainted miniatures you'll die.

But do you really believe it?

1. Yes
2. No
3. Please don't make me contemplate my own mortality.

Corporal Fagen14 Sep 2019 12:56 p.m. PST

I lean towards 1

JimDuncanUK14 Sep 2019 1:02 p.m. PST

Never gonna happen.

3 is the truth.

No, I often run out, but might change as have two small battalions not needed and can't seem to get into doing them.

No, I don't believe it. On the other hand I wouldn't give a politician's campaign promise for my chances of ever painting every miniature I already own.

I am alive, I have unpainted figs – the evidence points to option 1.

Saxondog14 Sep 2019 7:43 p.m. PST

Of course 1. I do, however, own enough unpainted bits that I have 20-30 years of painting already and keep buying more. So, if I finish all of my figs, I will be in my 80s or more.

Solid 3 here. It's a scary thought.

Twilight Samurai14 Sep 2019 11:06 p.m. PST

4. If you ever eat all your unpainted miniatures you will die.

I'm with Twilight Samurai.

I'm watching all those Ghost/Paranormal reality shows to see if I can learn how to continue to paint my minis after I'm dead … huh? wink

ZULUPAUL Supporting Member of TMP15 Sep 2019 2:38 a.m. PST

Solid No. If that were the case a couple of my friends wouldn't have died.

Gunfreak Supporting Member of TMP15 Sep 2019 3:40 a.m. PST

It's not that it guarantee life while you have miniatures, only that it guarantees death of you run out.

Must be 1.

The several times I painted all my minis, I did die.

I got better.

The Beast Rampant15 Sep 2019 8:47 a.m. PST

I'm perfectly safe.

von Schwartz15 Sep 2019 6:17 p.m. PST

HA, such foolishness, I just finished painting my last fig……….

Chuckaroobob16 Sep 2019 2:36 a.m. PST

Believe 2, but like the idea of 1.

Old Wolfman16 Sep 2019 7:22 a.m. PST

Why take the risk? ;^)

von Schwartz16 Sep 2019 6:16 p.m. PST

Must be 1.

The several times I painted all my minis, I did die.

I got better.

Just a flesh wound I'll wager.
