Even for veteran players with expansive collections, there comes a time when the urge to dabble in a new faction hits, and inevitably it’s an urge for a faction that you don’t yet own models for. Okay, support the FLGS, more shiny toy army mans, I’m all for that… but the budget isn’t always so friendly, and then it can become a matter of balance – how can you dabble efficiently in a new faction without committing to purchasing ALL THE THINGS? Similarly, there’s the problem of finding room on the hobby desk. If you’re like me, you have a small mountain of silver metal and grey plastic that would love your attention, and here you are, thinking of adding to it. Again, no worries, but is it possible to satisfy that factional urge without adding too much to the collection of unpainted and unassembled models? Can you make room for a palette cleanser to entertain you for a month or so before you return to your beloved primary faction(s)?
