We need a 2024 recap of the painted models you have done this year. You kept talking about them, I want to see them all on the same table, it really helps putting things in perspective 👍🏼
I have accepted that I don't really follow through the painting step, so my goal to shrink my pile is to just build a unit at a time. Get it ready for priming and I'll feel progress.
Idea 1) If you don’t clear half the table then you have to let random member pick something from the pile to either keep for themselves or auction for charity. If you clear three quarters then two random members pick something. If there is no clear difference then three members get to pick something each. Finally if it grows then you have to let five members pick something each. (Don’t have to use all of it I just like the idea tiers of completion) Idea 2) If you don’t clear half the table then you have to you have to auction off the most expensive item in the pile of shame. Idea 3) If you don’t clear half the table then you have to let the community choose the paint scheme for your models during a painting stream. (My vote is for lime green and hot pink.) Idea 4) If you don’t clear half the table you have to do a 24hour painting and building stream. Idea 5) You have to run a second narrative event (and give me a ticket).
3 years ago when Octarius launched, I honestly thought, that box will be more than enough. Komandos still not painted, and now have 16 kill teams. I don't probably don't need a hive city worth of terrain.
The way me and my brother managed our pile was we took a blood oath: we'd punch the other one in the face if they bought any boxes without finishing their armies first. The result was our pile grew and our faces are bruised
Some items are hard to come by in Argentina, such as Basilisks, so if you have spare I don't mind taking them of your hands and helping you ease the burden!!! XD
Mordian you should do the 13th penal legion "the last chancers" as your next gaurd army, they have traditional gaurdy green and grey as their colours and because they are a penal legion they only have access to second and third line equipment which would excuse having different patterns of the same weapon in one army theme wise.
Man... mine consists of an: in box baneblade, in box Dante. 30 scions, 4 commissars, Command squad, 20 Yeager scouts, a e champ, 5 enhyre, 6 thunder kin, and my marines that either need painting still or final touch ups of paint.
You should invite some painting influencers and make them giving suggestions of how you should paint them, that would increase your pressure on said pile of potential.
Piles of shame only grow. If you paint two, you buy four. Trying to push through a pile only makes it grow. The only realistic way to shrink a pile of shame is to sell stuff, which is obviously heretical.
I genuinely don’t understand why people have this problem, i don’t buy new models unless my previous batch was painted. After all what’s the point of buying a model if it’s not assembled?
@@art-games6230I kind of like watching my gigantic pile of shame turn into armies slowly. But i stock up a giant pile of shame, work through it for 1-3 years and get another giant pile. I enjoy picking and choosing what I’m working on that day instead of sticking to one specific box.
@@art-games6230 Sometimes I don't want to paint 20 of the same guy and like to swap between painting and assembling things. There is also minies that suck in the current ruleset so they're less exciting to work on. Gifts from friends and family. Good battle boxes and offers. Many reasons to get more plastic.
I totally understand you brother. I have hundreds, maybe even more than a thousand models to paint and I made my peace with a thought I will never paint them in my lifetime.
Recently started to record my stash in a spreadsheet. Shocked to find I have over 130 WW2 tanks and vehicles in 1/72 scale to complete. Perhaps 50 of them are ‘table-ready’, as in they can be used on the tabletop but are not ideal. At my current rate of progress they will take several decades to complete. Am currently studying the techniques of Henry Ford… as mass production seems my only hope! 😅
I always stress myself to paint all the stuff i glued together...and dont even get that. It´s good to see that others not even get their stuff unboxed. That makes me feel "normal?" a bit. I guess.
Instead of selling the oldest thing year from now on, you should make video series where you finish up the oldest models that have been in the pile for the longest time ☺
Challenge- build 500 to 1000 points and paint 250 points *of troops* per month. Once all the troops are painted move on to whatever you have the next most of but keep building that 500 to 1000 points. As a bonus, do it all on stream.
How about doing a mini goal for the main games systems you play? 40k could be getting all the Traitor Guard infantry done, or the Field Ordinance Batteries, etc done in time for the Guard Codex. Old World could be get your childhood Goblin army done. Bolt Action could be get all your Axis units painted. Give yourself 4 months to get each “project” done. I’ll let someone else think of a punishment 😅
Don’t feel bad, my IG pile is about 100 Caiden’s, 10 scion, 3 chimeras, 2 hellhounds, 20 steel legion troopers, 20 each Kasrkin/Krieg and a bunch of heavy weapons squads, 2 bombast cannons. Goal is to have 60 Caiden shock trooper, 10 scions, chimeras, hellhounds done before end of year. The rest of my pile is DG, T-Sons, Aeldari, Black Templars.
I would say try to finish of the odds and ends as quick as possible since otherwise those will just keep on getting left behind. After that go per army
Im so happy about this video. I thought my pile (which its not since its all build atleast) was bad. But nah. Im a saint compared to this haha. I love you for that mate
Challenge: paint all shame by rotating through the armies. Paint old world then orcs than ect.... try to go through whole list of different armies weekly or monthly. Punishment: failure means donating GW price of unpainted models to charity.
finish your w40k ork project or you have to cosplay as a ork and go to a tournament as one and run the imperial guard in a ork play style, little guns just shovels
my man, you dont need 18 ogryn and 18 bullgryn in your 5th imperial guard army XD. Maybe that is the problem, not everything needs to be maxed out for every army
eradicate the game system you play the most from the pile as your painting goal for, the forfit sell the game system you play the least from your pile of shame
Sometimes the mini is only briefly available on the market. You have to buy it while it’s there. At least 75% of the models in my pile are simply no longer available. Also, I buy in bulk to save on postage, which can be 50% of the model price.
You are just a wargamer bro. Idk if someone like you can really call it a pile of shame. I am just a Imperium fanboi that plays exclusively chaos, I’m just a brainless GW consumer, but you sir are an actual wargamer. I personally don’t like my pile of shame being completed. If part of you likes having that constant access to something new to work on then who’s to judge. You have a ludicrous amount of armies, if your pile of shame isn’t bigger than a completed army or two I don’t consider it shame.
In a years time you should not ave any guard models in your pile of shame… this is a guard channel so no models allowed in your pile of shame….. the forfeit should be double the value of retail price donated to charity…. Great video thanks for sharing your pile of shame 🇬🇧🫡🍻👍

Think about this there is the Kreig box coming and then more old world and other stuff.
That is the only reason why I'm refusing to buy any more warhammer 😅
I have accepted that I don't really follow through the painting step, so my goal to shrink my pile is to just build a unit at a time. Get it ready for priming and I'll feel progress.
It's called a pile of potential
Where's your pile of potential Bitter?
*Points to 10 Poxwalkers in the pile of shame*
"I want 60 of these."
Suddenly my pile doesn't feel so big.
Two out / one in rule for the year - no buying models until you’ve painted or sold twice as many as you want to get…
Idea 1) If you don’t clear half the table then you have to let random member pick something from the pile to either keep for themselves or auction for charity. If you clear three quarters then two random members pick something. If there is no clear difference then three members get to pick something each.

Idea 3 sounds like the funniest

Take it you play Orks
Piles of shame videos are my favorite, they make me feel so much better about my own conundrum
Finish the BA forfeit: start a French Army
Pile of Potential
I'm glad my pile hasn't got significantly larger, I'm running out of places to put it all.
Some items are hard to come by in Argentina, such as Basilisks, so if you have spare I don't mind taking them of your hands and helping you ease the burden!!! XD
Mordian you should do the 13th penal legion "the last chancers" as your next gaurd army, they have traditional gaurdy green and grey as their colours and because they are a penal legion they only have access to second and third line equipment which would excuse having different patterns of the same weapon in one army theme wise.
Most of mine get bunged into the Leviathan box when they aren't getting used.
Man... mine consists of an: in box baneblade, in box Dante. 30 scions, 4 commissars, Command squad, 20 Yeager scouts, a e champ, 5 enhyre, 6 thunder kin, and my marines that either need painting still or final touch ups of paint.
Your forfeit should be to buy £1k worth of models. I think that's fair.
You should invite some painting influencers and make them giving suggestions of how you should paint them, that would increase your pressure on said pile of potential.

@@art-games6230 abandoned projects, models bought "just in case", models bought for it was "last chance to buy" etc.
@@art-games6230I kind of like watching my gigantic pile of shame turn into armies slowly. But i stock up a giant pile of shame, work through it for 1-3 years and get another giant pile. I enjoy picking and choosing what I’m working on that day instead of sticking to one specific box.

I think it should be the newest non gift thing you got into the pile, that way you may be refrained into expanding it
More models than I could ever imagine owning. That's alot of soup $$ 💰
At this point you have to realise it’s not a pile of shame, it’s a real addiction issue
I would love to see the Old World Orks completed
I also happen to have an incomplete Frag Drill kit in my pile of shame. I'll match you, Mordian, and make sure it's out of the pile within a year
Same it's crazy how it can keep getting worse no matter how much I work through. an illusion or something idk
seeing him sit on bayards revenge doing nothing with it is painful, its one ive wanted for awhile but its resale is insane
Add a comment...
I'd give almost anything to have 10% of this Pile O'Shame
Not pictured; 6000 3d printed guardsmen.

The Emperor Protects
Wait wait wait. You didn't mention Mrs Mordian's Necrons. What happened there?
How about doing a mini goal for the main games systems you play?
40k could be getting all the Traitor Guard infantry done, or the Field Ordinance Batteries, etc done in time for the Guard Codex.
Old World could be get your childhood Goblin army done.

It has to be to clear all them big green boyz!!

Do you have any nieces or nephews having them learn to paint helps to get through a box or 2 fast.
Challenge: Pick a tournament with a bit of a lead time (3 months?) and take an army made solely from your pile of shame.
And here I thought after that tank marathon it actually got smaller. Oh how naive 😂
I have around the double than you in my pile, I feel your "pain" bro.
Mountains of opportunity.
Upon sighting the upload I gave the order to like the video, thats my style sir!
Like and subscribe sir, that’s my style sir!
@@tompriestley8221 Naturally sir. I have friends at court sir, and they would have me hit the notification bell as well sir.
Naturally, you still haven’t painted the ORKS!!! 😂😂😂
Definitely would love to get another game in especially against them shiny new boltaction minis
Jesus,...I thought my few bolt action boxes was bad...😂
If you don't paint it all by next year, either give whatever is left over to the community or auction it for charity.
24 hour painting stream?
Challenge: Clear all Guard and all Bolt Action. + all of Epic Black Powder :)
If you fail, you have to sell that big box of 40k orks.
I would say try to finish of the odds and ends as quick as possible since otherwise those will just keep on getting left behind.
After that go per army
Christ and old world empire hasn’t been released yet🤣 good luck dude! Keep up the great work:)
Im so happy about this video.
I thought my pile (which its not since its all build atleast) was bad.
But nah. Im a saint compared to this haha.
I love you for that mate
Wow you got more stuff than I do.
MORE PAINTING EVENTS!
Moridan-mass painting event!
Honestly can’t believe Mrs Mordian hasn’t banned you from obtaining any more minis 🤣
I would NEVER force a hobbyist to sell their models. It could cause psychological scarring, which as we know can lead to warp possession!
I was gonna ask if you were getting the new Scions kit...but I think those might have to wait 😂
I've got a buddy getting into CSM purely because of Heldrakes. He's a sucker for dragons. I'd love to buy that Heldrake for him if that's possible.
Also Heldrakes are absolute hell to paint because of their trim.
Ever model you don't paint is a pound to a charty. Big models (e.g. tanks) count as a tenner
Not watched you before but see your local so have a follow 😊 get painting
This is bigger than the GDP of Liechtenstein.
"Soviet Style Supply depot" 😅🤣😂
I am at the point of buying storage boxes for my pile of shame…but I don’t have a problem, honest
Have you tried putting a monetry value to the pile of shame (and reduce it the more you finish) as a incentive?
No you can NEVER calculate how much you have actually spent. It’s against the codex brother.
Challenge: paint all shame by rotating through the armies. Paint old world then orcs than ect.... try to go through whole list of different armies weekly or monthly.
Punishment: failure means donating GW price of unpainted models to charity.
Hey Mordian, do you post to Australia?
That's a nice pile of opportunities, it's only a Shame there's still loads of stuff in packaging still 😢
Much better resale value if you keep the packaging. 🤫
Ork-tober is coming
Thank you. I don't feel quite so shameful now.
That's not a pile it's a dragon's hoard 😂
finish your w40k ork project or you have to cosplay as a ork and go to a tournament as one and run the imperial guard in a ork play style, little guns just shovels
Just send me some of them, you don't need them anyway ! XD
my man, you dont need 18 ogryn and 18 bullgryn in your 5th imperial guard army XD. Maybe that is the problem, not everything needs to be maxed out for every army
Love the old blister packs! I have several myself. Wanna trade?
You have 3-4 years of projects on hand
Mate, that's NOTHING! I retire next year and have 40 years of collecting to build and paint 😮😊😅😂😂😂
I haven't watched the vid but it seems like you haven't gotten a 3d printer yet, otherwise it would be far worse
That,s nothing,compared to what I have!
Your pile of shame isn't that bad compared to mine
I have a better forfeit, you only paint models from the old chaos box whenever you paint instead of or as well as selling it!
Get an air brush. Undercoat, base coat, highlight, and shade 100+ models in an hour. Then just pick out details and metals, and give a wash.
And then spend an hour cleaning it, and another hour looking for the small but vital component the carpet monster ate! 😊
🐙
Same
eradicate the game system you play the most from the pile as your painting goal for, the forfit sell the game system you play the least from your pile of shame
i dont undestand that people have a pile of shame 🙈when i buy a new model, i build and paint it right away🤣🙈

3d printer go brrrrr
spend the money or some Figures to "creativ ADHS"
you are rich
lmao wtf dude, plastic crack indeed
My wife says you should have to sell it all and send your long suffering partner away on holiday somewhere nice!
You are just a wargamer bro. Idk if someone like you can really call it a pile of shame. I am just a Imperium fanboi that plays exclusively chaos, I’m just a brainless GW consumer, but you sir are an actual wargamer.
