I first painted minis when I got Shadows of Brimstone - painted all of the 2 first core sets. Then I took a 2-3 year hiatus without painting... And started up again when I got KDM. Bought some better paints, painted a few minis but then stopped again. That was like 1-2 years ago.
Now if I start up again, all my paints will have separated in their bottles again... 😦
