The "desk drawer to-do pile":

As you can see, I'm running out of storage space for my armies. There are epic titans, an objective marker, my WM dwarves, and the black-primed stuff are goblins, goblin fanatics, fanatic cannons, an empire siege gun, giant and regular-sized squiggs, just to name a few.

Hopefully I have the willpower to get to this stuff (and three chaos blisters) before starting the more interesting dark elves.
