I'm curious to know how many come here to Benno's who wargame at least on a semi-regular basis.
Any chance of running a poll?

A wargamer might by 8 boxes of figures from one era, but a collector might reliably purchase one of every kit a company makes. Then of the collectors, the figure painters make a subset. Those who actually paint their collections.
I am a wargamer though I tend to buy wide rather than deep. I like low figure count games where a stand of 4 or 8 miniatures can represent 500 or even 1000 soldiers. So I tend to buy a box or two of each kit I need rather than 6+ I get my armies finished and then I look for the next era to research and paint. So I buy a lot, but I go wide like a collector, but my purchasing is limited by my painting speed and army planning so I tend not to get as many kits as my friends who just collect and paint occasionally.
