I’ve been playing Warhammer for over a year now, and one of my absolute favourite parts of the hobby is painting miniatures. However, I’ve been struggling to find the time and energy to actually sit down and paint. I wake up at 6:00 AM, get home around 6:00 PM, and by that point, I still have work to finish, dinner to be cooked, and other things to take care of. By the time everything is done, I’m usually completely exhausted.
Even when I do have some free time and feel like painting, the thought of having to take out all my paints, brushes, models, and other supplies, set everything up, and then clean it all away afterwards feels like a huge barrier. It takes me out of whatever workflow I’m already in, and sometimes the effort of getting everything ready is enough to put me off painting entirely.
It’s frustrating because painting is something I genuinely enjoy and want to spend more time doing, but it feels like my schedule and energy levels are constantly working against me. I don’t want to lose touch with a hobby I’m passionate about just because I can’t find a convenient way to fit it into my daily life. I’d love to find a way to make painting easier to pick up whenever I have even a little bit of free time, without it feeling like another task on an already exhausting day.
