So, a few years ago I started collecting prepainted D&D minis for our games.
Now I have most, and spend quite some time surfing other minis, and have agreement with painters for hire (I have no skills regarding mini production) to paint minis that are not prepainted...
So I want them, I need them, and I like them. Completely irrational, basically it is toys that my kids are not allowed tonplay with....
But they are so nice...
No other message here, just coming out of the closet as a miniatures collector...
Welcome!
Have you seen the DCM pre-paints? http://www.dungeoncrawler.com/dcm/
They are nice :-).
I admit, I'm a collector, too. I started in August. Just after the Reaper Bones KS roped me in. Never bought a mini before that, unless you count board games like Castle Ravenloft.
Now? Now I have nearly 1000 (if you count my kickstarter hauls that haven't arrived yet) with about 90 painted. I have 2 dozen primed minis on my desk. I paint a TON nowadays. I am working on selling my skills, though! I've gotten pretty good and it's incredibly fun :D
Miniature addict? I am indeed a figmentia sufferer lol

Hi, I am Daniel and I am a PPM addict.
I got my first fix in 2003 when a "friend" handed me a small box. On the front it said "Harbinger". I should have known better, but I opened the box. One look at the Drow Cleric of Lolth and I was hooked. I went back inside the store and bought two more boxes as well as the "Starter" set.
It has gone down hill ever sense. Case buys and tons of trades on Max-Minis means I own way more Pre-Painted plastic then I should. Of course I have now added the Pathfinder, DCM, and rebased minis to my addiction. ;-)
