I'm one of those gamers who can never settle on one (or even just a few) games. I used to be heavily into the GW games, but I've pretty much curtailed my activity in that area the last couple years. Now, aside from my Starline 2500 miniatures, I probably spend the most hobby time on my BattleTech stuff. I originally got into BattleTech almost as long ago as I did SFB, but like SFB I kind of drifted away for a number of years and just recently drifted back.

Of course, I've still got a walk in closet stuffed with miniatures for Warhammer, 40K, Warmachine, Flames of War, and a number of other scifi, fantasy and historical games.

At the moment,I'm busy painting up a REB Faction force for Deadzone along with a small merc force of ABC Warriors. I'm also starting a Goblin army for Kings of War(250+ mini's).

I have a bunch of GHQ and Langton 1:1200 wooden ship minis that I have collected over the years. I haven't done any in a while, but besides the Starline minis, those would be my next choice.


Same here. I have about 80 of them, out of which only about a dozen or so are are painted. I use them with hexless Close Action mostly, but I'd like to get more painted to do larger fleet engagements with Langton's Signal Close Action.

I also have a large pile of Reaper's C.A.V. minis from an ebay bargain earlier in the year. I got hooked on the game and backed their recent Kickstarter, so I'll have a much bigger pile of those to deal with before 2015 is out.

Lastly, I have about 30 Crimson Skies metal minis waiting for paint.

But my SFU minis (all 2200s-2400s) are mostly still waiting for paint and remounting too though.

For me, it's been mostly Battletech

I have a new past time for non-trek, free time... what little there is.

I'm pimping out my MegaCivilization game.
I've gotten enough galley miniatures from old Conquest of the Empire games to replace the cardboard ship counters with galley miniatures... 72 of them.
Although they need to be painted... then the sails will be painted in the empire counter colors and the symbol decaled onto the sail.

I have obtained 36 of the old Fortress America city token. So next up will be making a mold of them and casting it enough times to provide 192, three-dimensional city marker. These will need to be painted in the proper colors and flags (with the proper colors and empire symbols) will need to be made.

I'm working on translating the Civilization Advance cards to standard playing card sized image. Once that's done - since there are a total of 51 separate advances, I'll have 18 decks of standard playing card sized decks printed by someone.

Then it's on to pimping the population tokens. That's got me temporarily stumped. I wanted to go with Meeples... but it will take 1,020 or them - so that may be cost prohibitive. Still thinking of ideas though.

That was the first place I checked.
$39 for a bag of 100, unpainted, mini meeples (12 mm rather than 16 mm).
That's $319 for 11 bags.

Still looking for a better (read as cheaper) alternative.

I just found a site called The Game Crafter. They've got bulk meeples for about $7.00/100.
