It's no
secret that Warhammer is an expensive hobby. A little while back my
wife and I were discussing something like this when the topic of
insurance came up. Our house and contents insurance does include a
item in it for my Warhammer stuff, but it's a pretty nebulous item
with a very, very vague estimate of value. If we were to actually
have a fire or very thorough robbery and I lost it all, I have no
idea what would happen next. Nor do I even know whether it would
cause a problem with the insurer when the time to claim came around.
Would they suddenly question how I could possibly have a toy soldier
collection with a value equal to that of a small new car? How could I
then prove the matter?
We came
to the conclusion that I probably needed to do something in terms of
photographing and itemising the collection in order to back up any
insurance claims should the need arise (and assuming I actually
survived the shock of such a loss). To that end I started pulling
some of my stuff out and taking photos, so that things could be
identified. I didn't get to the end, but I did manage to cover a
couple of armies, and it's a start.
So... This is what it looks like when I pull all my painted stuff out at once. Or at least, it did back in April when I was doing this. There are a few more things to add to the tally now. |
