Miniature armies if properly thought out don't take up too much room once properly stored, my 40K stuff takes up the equivalent of a couple of comic book boxes or two-three tower pc cases. My Flames of war stuff currently fills one of these, my X-wing stuff fit's nicely into a Battlefoam Pack 216 and because of that I'm contemplating their upcoming FoW bag.
At least I now have some ideas on where I can get a game now. Which may be many moons in coming. For I go by the rule of no play till at least three colours or visibly look okay. I'm even going away from GW paints for my FoW stuff. Mostly, for Devlan Mud rocks! I'm going to use Vallejo aka the stuff Battlefront recommends for these. Even going to try one of Vallejo surface primers, in probably the wrong colour - Desert Tan(73.613), I'll probably give their Russian Green primer a try on the tanks.
And I think I have recon covered, for Spetznaz & Lt Ivan Zabolotny(command squad) each let me infiltrate an entire Engineer-Sapper company (14-21 bases+ command) and I've a box of T-34 obr 1942 to send me nuts (resin & metal) and the box of SU-100's will make me more so(resin, plastic & metal).
