What happens to your tabletop wargaming collection when you’re gone? For many historical wargamers and miniature painters, decades of collecting, painting, and gaming can result in shelves filled with armies, terrain, and model kits. But have you ever considered what your family will do with them one day? In this hobby discussion video, I explore the reality of legacy collections, prompted by a friend helping sort through a massive model kit collection after its owner passed away. We talk about the sentimental and monetary value of miniatures, how to organise your collection, whether downsizing is worth considering, and practical steps wargamers can take to make things easier for their families in the future. It’s an honest conversation about the long-term future of our hobby collections and the stories behind them.
