Chaos Warrior Krontharg Hornhelm - Donated By Hammer_the_backlog (MFMH)

A personal note from the donor: 

The reason that this spoke to me was that one of the main taglines of Hammer The Backlog is finding joy in what you have, not always chasing the newest and the shiniest things, and trying to avoid worrying about missing out or not being good enough. One of my personal foibles is that I put a lot of myself into “stuff”. Particularly stuff that has a face. I still have every model I’ve ever painted (unless it was painted from the beginning as a gift for someone else), every action figure I’ve ever owned. Every stuffed animal and toy from my childhood is in the laboratory in storage boxes. I find it VERY difficult to part with things. The most I’ve ever cried, and this is not a joke, was when Andy gave away his toys in Toy Story 3. I realise that I am incredibly lucky that something relatively trivial like this is probably my biggest mental health issue, but I decided to confront it, for a good cause, by sending off one of my beloved miniatures to raise money for charity. So my classic Chaos Warrior, including the shield from my first ever box of miniatures in the 90s, is currently packed up and ready to say goodbye. This guy has had an interesting journey. He was donated to my local GW (GW Dublin) years ago by a person who just handed in their box of odds and ends that they had no use for. I grabbed a couple of minis from the box and promptly added them to my own pile of shame for about 15 years. Then, once I started the Hammer the Backlog project I randomly picked him out of the box and painted him when I had a free week and then promptly fell in love with him. I hope he finds a nice new home, but even if he doesn’t, at the end of the day stuff is not the most important thing in any of our lives.
