They may not be the best, but they are better than you think and if you love the model sometimes that is what counts.

Sometimes you might just be tired of one part of the hobby, others you might just feel like you need a break completely. It happens to all of us eventually and this episode is about what you can do to become inspired by the 40k hobby again.
