Where armies go to die

Was talking with Brent the other night at HT and it got me to thinking; In the past, I have always sold my armies as I finished them and got tired of them. I did this for two reasons:

1st - I would sell the army on ebay, painted, to fund the next army.
2nd - I was a terrible painter for a loong looong loooooong time. Each army helped me improve.

Now I have (3) 40k armies, and am eyeing a fantasy army around Christmas time.

How about you guys?

I voted that "I Never Finish an Army" which is more or less true. The only army I've ever come close to finishing is my Soviets for Flames of War. I've got a completely painted force for a regular size game, but if I can get back to playing FoW I'll still want to add several units to allow me more options. None of my Fantasy or 40K armies are complete enough to field fully painted armies in standard point size games, although I may actually get there before too long with my Eldar if I keep working.

I've played 40k for 2 years and fantasy for about 5 now. I have just in the last month finished my first army! sigh... I plan to start another one shortly after I get all the damned commissions out of the way. Then I INTEND on adding units that I randomly want to it so I don't have the daunting task of painting a whole army.

My Wolves army was the first 40k army I ever finished, and that was a day before we left for the Waaagh. As they have a new codex and new minis coming out in October, I shall be setting them aside and adding to them when the new goodies come out. I have a partially finished Eldar army around here somewhere, and I'm planning on going back to it when they get close to a new codex.

exact same boat as you.

P.S. I'm sure I've told you but I lover your army and I can't wait for you to do up some of the new units and make it even cooler looking!

I'm currently drooling over the mere rumor of Canis Wolfborne. I'm thinking of buying a unit of IG just so I can scatter their dismembered pieces around his base.

Also, for those not in the know, Man-Juice is what large pitcher-sized glasses of beer turn into once you've had three or four.
