My 2nd box of WE berserker came in this week, so....

Went to the FLGS today and picked up a Grimnyr and a box of Brokhyr Thunderkyn for my growing Leagues of Votann army.

MCP Agent venom & Spider woman, two Deimos Pattern Rhinos, SW Legion Moff Gideon and a couple boxes of dark troopers, and an elegoo saturn 2 & cure/wash station.

Tax return season.

Ringwraith on Fellbeast and the Hobbits in Ithilien from the MESBG MtO.

It's sad the local Etsy store I order my 3d printed minis is closing up so before the close I ordered a mini of Dellenger from Secret War and one of Berrk Ballacat one of the main antagonists of my 1st Angaran Chronicles novel: The Angaran Chronicles: The Underside he's fun to write because he's such a psychopath and he's the shadow of the main character Anargrin and it's even more fun when he gets he comeuppance. Them and another version of Anargrin.

More glue, zip kicker, & Corax White spray.

Inspired by looking at the Lord of the Rings game I ordered a Fellowship of the Ring kit from Etsy they look much better and are much cheaper than the GW ones (although, they don't look too bad or dated in my eyes) I shouldn't have bought them, but oh well.

Here's the link if anyone is interested.

I bought some caulk for home repair and a secondary use in making rubble terrain.

Cheers,

CB

A box of Wargames Atlantic landskneckt ogres, to make 3 units of berserker braves.

Before the price increase hits us like a ton of greedy bricks:

2x Knight Abominants
1x Knight Questoris
1x Eldar Guardians
3x Shining Spears
2x Eldar Avatar
3x Rough Riders
2x Primaris Lieutenants (the new one)
2x Brutalis Dreadnoughts

Just picked up Strike Force Agastus from my FLGS.

Ordered a Ver-myn tunnler from Mantic.
I came across it browsing for bitz/parts for use in scratch building a Termite.
If I'm pleased enough with it? It'll save me time & effort & I'll pick up several more and equip my Deathguard/World Eaters with Termite transports - at a fraction of the cost of Forge World kits.

If I'm not satisfied? Then I'll just continue with the original plan & scratch build a few termites.

The tunneler is a really nice model, CCS. It only has a few pieces to assemble and goes together very well.

On my own stuff, I just ordered some card deck expansions and finally the acrylic template set, all for Pulp Alley.

Custom dice trays for my brother and me.

Blurd bowl helves! Now how to... how to put axes in their hands...

Fancy!

Bought a bunch of bitz and preordered one box of the new RG MKVI heads. That's my hobby budget blown until the next paycheck.

Seriously, who impulse buys 10 Cargo-8 Ridgehauler tires?!

I just hope they make a useful addition to my "Orky scrap heap/Shantytown" terrain collection.. They'll fit right in with the Mekboy workshop scatter terrain and the Octarius buildings..

Very cool! may I ask where you got those?

Back OT back typing up The Angaran Chronicles: The Skirmish game Bat Rep still got a while away to being only near the top of 2nd turn but it's going quite well!

A Jarhead that works here at Caterpillar with me made them on his CNC router.

A box of 40k WE Jakkels.

Picked up a Stormbringer magazine for some AoS orcs. Can't complain about £6 for 10 dudes!

Just picked up Vashtorr and a box of Cultists for £60. Ha!

Hargax's Pit-Beasts £52
Sylvaneth Warscroll cards £16

Been using tokens for the Troggoths in the AoS solo-campaign, but figure the Warcry monster models as excellent substitutes as they have plenty of wounds and at times good bang-for-buck. Also, there's the Fomoroid Crusher for solo-Underworlds, so that's two games covered. Oh, and Frostgrave as well...

While I love Age of Sigmar I only play it open-narrative and so, unless its the Stormcasts, I only purchase the Warscroll packs. Not bought any models yet but I'm enarmoured of the the Sylvaneth range, and will probably order the Vanguard set - which ticks so many boxes - later in the year. Frostgrave has a "Wildwoods" expansion later in the year and I like the idea of using Kurnoth Hunters as Ballistas...

Pre-ordered the new Eldar Combat Patrol. Uhm, I mean the new Eldar Boarding Patrol! Yeah, Boarding Patrol lol. With Jann Zair and Corsairs, I like the box a lot, as it'll allow more options for Kill Team.

Aegis Defense Lines, to get ready for Armies on Parade for the year.

Lord Discordant using a voucher I got for Xmas, and a set of Cultists and a squad of Intercessors off a FB group.

Great way to pick up bargains when box sets are released, everyone seems to be dumping tbe rest of Vashtors box set other than Vashtor and Azreal.

The current Eldar Codex.

"But that's about to be-"

Yeah I know. I like the book.

Plus a Savage Orc Warboss, 'cause it was like $20.

I picked up a bunch of paints from Reaper

1x New Necromunda Campaign book
1x House Cawdor vehicle cards
1x Enforcer Sanctioner Automata box
2x Cawdor Ridge Walker boxes

I almost bought 3 boxes... I love those silly little scrapwalkers!

The Vashtor & Farsight AoO books.

​
Only 700+ parts to assemble... 😄

Battle System's dungeon-themed Maladum game and separate multilevel dungeon terrain has less than 48 hours to go!

Rules agnostic multilevel dungeon terrain is perfect for dungeon miniature skirmish games, like Frostgrave: Into the Breeding Pits.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/battlesystems/maladum-dungeons-of-enveron



​

1) Several small/medium/large Staralite plastic storage containers.
I've got a lot of minis/bitz/misc/etc that needed better sorting & storage.

2) 15 AoS Wild Rider stag mounts.
I've FINALLY gotten around to replacing the "meh" plastic/metal combo horses my Wild Riders came with back in WHFB 6th(? Around 2007/8).
I've never loved those horses & they've always been marked for replacement. But other projects etc....

I pulled the Wood Elf case out of storage for a Sigmar game last week & there were those crappy mounts* looking back at me. :(
So they got used one last time and it was an EBay search when I got home from the game.....

*The metal elf riders? Those are fine. Just the horses finally had to go.

An stl for trolls.
I wanted a specific style (somethings between Warcraft trolls and the old GW stone trolls) and couldn't find anyone selling physical models that were what I want my trolls to look like.

Well, a trade and not a purchase, but...



Skaven IOB speararms to finish out a 25 man regiment and 10 plastic Plague Monks with 5 armed to be Censer Bearers to also fill out their respective regiments.

Thanks, bbb!

Made the mistake of going onto Etsy, so I spent more. Bought an excellent Eisenhorn proxy, an Inquisitor mini (or Rogue Trader), That was obviously inspired by an awesome fanart of Inquisitor Lilith from Ghostmaker and a huge 170mm model of Azathoth from the Cthulhu Mythos that will make a great Jaroai proxy for my Angaran Chronicles TT skirmish game.

Bought a whole bunch more things from Etsy today. A female Inquisitor proxy which I plan to paint to be Inquisitor Jelcine Enandra from Secret War, a female Farseer that looks a bit like Farseer Macha, who is going to be Farseer Faleaseen also from Secret War and a couple of other things.

Yesterday I bought a Lelith Hesperax proxy diorama which was pretty cool.

Hero Forge has a special so I bought a whole lot of STLs mostly of my Angaran Chronicles soldiers as I made them in HF because it's hard to find elf and dwarf males in 1940s-like military uniforms lol

4 rattlecans of various colours and 9 more paints!

I sure would love the weather to stop being gak.

Several vintage (early 90s or before) Wood Elf unit champions, standard bearers from GW & Grenadier, a few archers (GW) & 2 spearmen (Grenadier).

Bought Halbarad and 6 Grey Company.

One last big purchase before saving for Nids this summer.

Soulblight Vanguard - Battletome - Direwolves - Iyva!

most recent was some MDF terrain, Sarissa stuff, the Chateau and radar station for Operation Biting, nice models that go together well, need painting still

Oh God! More paint!

I ran out of black spray, so I've got 2 on the way, plus yellow spray. I may have to buy even more.

On the bright side, a bunch of Vallejo and Tamiya masking tape in various tiny sizes. That should be good.

FLGS called me the other day and said they have 3 40k Lions coming in. If I wanted one, I was to call them and do the preorder. Best lunch break I have had in some time.

Arks of Omen Farsight and The Lion, Aranthian Succession Vol 2 for Necromunda, and The Lion, Son of the Forest.

All bought Friday/Saturday, now all read and digested. At least the Lore parts.

I’m surprised my eyes aren’t smouldering.

The latest AoO book & ordered a box of Storm Vermin to round out my Skaven.

Traded for a bunch of old plastic bulkheads for Necromunda.

Cheers,

CB

My Stormvermin box finally came in at the flgs, so....

Now all I need is a Warp Lightning Cannon & I'll call my Skaven project done (aside from the eventual painting of course).

Well, on Sunday my local shop had a sale. It was buy 1 item and play rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock.if you win, you get 40% off. If they win, you get 25% off. So I got a Keeper of Secrets at 25% off. The other option was roll a D20 and get double the roll off with a minimu 20% off. Knowing my luck, I'd roll below 12. If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.

1" thick cork sheet. To give hills another go.
The most troublesome terrain to make.

Ashes of Faith!

Now to scalp it on eBay for a bajillion dollars!

And the Company Champion.


[EDIT]: Imperium Magazine Issue 42 (with the elderly SoB Canoness) + a box of 4 Necromunda Outcasts.

So since GW went and gutted Forgeworld once more with a huge bunch of models going "last chance" and "sold out" within basically seconds of each other. I've been checking the FW store every day for a couple of items just in case.

It might have paid off as the Malanthrope showed as in-stock!

So I bought it and -- it fell right out of stock again once I'd finished.


So I've either grabbed the last one off the shelf or its a glitch and I'll get a refund in a bit. Most likely someone ordered and then cancelled or it was held in the FW physical store for sale and then put online or such.

The new plastic butchers from Mantic.

Rules & models (gonlins) for the Moonstone game.

4 sets of Gallowfall sprues (just the sprue with with stasis tanks, medical stuff, and escape pods) + a set of Scarab Occult Terminators.

I hope you get it. If you've never put one together before, it's a bit of an odd duck mini. It uses part of the flying base as you can see from pictures, but it's more stable than it looks. The little claws are quite flimsy though, so be aware of that.

I bought another box of Corsairs from Kill Team on Amazon as I would like to make an army of them made up from the One Page Rules I made for them for Grimdark Future and GFF. I would like to paint new versions of the first squad I painted a while back using the skill I've developed since then!

I bought a couple of reaper animals. Got to have more critters.

They've confirmed shipping!!

Thanks for the advice, I actually got one a while back and it was on my list of models to get one or two more of in time. So when they went sold out I was sad and seeing one appear right back in stock I couldn't pass. Even if GW never releases it or releases it with a bigger/smaller/differenter model in the future at least I've got a pair of pretty swans (see that's why its an odd duck - cause its not a duck

Made my best wargaming resale shop deal ever two days ago when I bought an entire Necron army at a local thrift store! Not sure of current edition points value, but probably 2-3k in points.

Normally this is the sort of thing I'd buy just to resell, but my son is thrilled by them so it's probably a keeper. Half is painted so I'm busily repairing and re-assembing the many arms and weapons that separated when it was all unceremoniously bagged up for sale.

Should easily have a painted 1000 point force and a Monolith (will be a special objective) to field at the "Grimdark Future Grinder" I'm running at TMX on Sunday.

Bought the Rynn's World area of engagement board for Aeronautica.

A couple of Goblin boxes for Moonstone that the shop got back in stock.

A Satheras the warlock from Reaper.
To be my necromancer's apprentice for Frostgrave.

Picked up an issue of Stormbringer with a set of the now OOP Beastgrave terrain. Absolutely pointless, but it's pretty.

1 and a half boxes of Leviathan.

Oh nice! I’m having to take my chances in-store on release day. Been an expensive month already and just can’t justify it right now.

Leviathan - crash or 10 but gut there in the end. Baulked at £150 from GW but succumbed to £120 from Wayland.

We also have to keep in mind GW might well have held back stock for the retail release for this. So we could well see a second wave sent out if there's enough demand, but also see stores getting more stock allocations once we hit release day itself.

A copy of Frostgrave 2nd edition.
It's about time.

Couple of new FEPs for my 3d printer and a bottle of resin to get me going again.

A single sprue of Oathmark Dwarf light infantry and a sprue of Oathmark orcs from Ebay.

I don't need 30 of either.

Dwarfs are so that I have models for the "thug" statline for a dwarf warband in Frostgrave (all my dwarfs are armoured or have ranged weapons).

Orcs are because I like the Dark Age look of Oathmark orcs, but don't want to start an army.
I just need a few for skirmish or roleplaying games.

Just bought a whole lot of cultist proxies from Etsy for a diorama I'm planning of making of Attelus Kaltos and Adelana Helgen from Secret War fighting off a whole bunch of them. They'll take a long while to get here in little old New Zealand but I'm going to tear some asunder so no way am I going to buy expensive GW minis for that. I'm looking forward to getting them! As Attelus is slicing through numerous of their number and Adelana is head shotting one with her bolter.

They're also resin not plastic, so softer and easier to destroy for said tearing asunder!

Ordered some Sector Imperialis Ruins terrain from Ebay for my diorama. This diorama is getting quite expensive indeed lol

A pair of Conoptek spiders for my Necrons.

Felt and paint. Just board-making and model painting supplies. Books/mini purchases have ceased.

I ordered a Blood Bowl te based on Cult of the Lamb artwork

Ordered an Asurmen proxy mini and a Maugan Ra replacement mini as I lost his head. It was entirely my fault, so I cannot go back to the company on Etsy and whine for another one (like I did about losing my Karandras proxy foot, but that wasn't entirely my fault as it is separated from the mini was a printing error) and the company has been very good to me so I thought they deserved more of my money.

I got a proxy for Fuegan, and he's proven to be awesome so far, so I'm pretty sure the Asurmen one will be just as good. Then I'll have all the main Pheonix Lords, the only one actually being from GW being Jain Zar as she was in that Boarding Patrol box which was a pretty good steal from Gap Games.

Imperium Magazine Issue 46 (the one with the 2 Seraphim, 3 Sisters, 1 Tennis Shoe Warrior and 1 Archo).
Plus another box of Hive Scum.
And a Haruspex.

Once it's finished you can sell it and use the profit to buy a house.

I traded a friend some things for four of the old Sarus warriors on sprue. (I really like lizardmen in TW2) I've assembled a drummer, a mace lizard with shoulder armor and two with the sword-clubs. Should be great for AoFS.

Just ordered the 40K Core Book (20% off) and a Daemon Prince (15% off) from Wayland Games. Also ordered Indexes for GK, TSons and Knights direct from GW. Due to the ridiculous bundling to resellers, ordering indexes direct was actually cheaper than ordering from independent stores (who all sold out immediately anyway).

Grabbed a 'Nid half of Leviathan for $160AUD. Good value for the amount of gribblies you get. Didn't really need to buy them, but they're fantastic sculpts so for that price it was hard to pass on.

I got my pre-order of Leviathan. I only wanted the terminators, the two termi characters, and the Neurotyrant so everything else went up on eBay.

I was shocked to see it all go in less than an a few hours. Going to use my new termies in my Deathwatch army.

Picked up my preordered copy of Leviathan from my FLGS.

Undaunted: Battle of Britain and two expansions for Heroquest

Pledged around 290€ to The Damned

Ordered 200 32mm and 100 40mm round bases for my printed Heresy dudes

That's it for the whole month, I've been good for once

I bought a reaper ogre, to be friends with my mantic ogre.

I got a really good deal on the Killdakka box, so... I'm probably going to be painting a lot of Orks for quite a while.

Decided to order the new Warhammer Heroes box that has the funky Primaris Captain and a few other Marines.

Figured that having these mono-pose regular guys allows me to build more interesting Sergeant loadouts with the full kits I have.

And I got an email from GW today to say my order would be delayed by up to 7 days

So much for the queuing system and pre-ordering

Bought Leviathan rulebook 2nd hand, as well as the monopose termies. Additionally, scored a DKoK artillery tractor after looking for one for months My DKoK army is now almost complete, all that remains is a HQ model (its basically a counts as AM Combat Patrol, but with DKoK models)

Those will haveto make do for a while, as I'm saving up for the KT21S3 launch box dropping in æutumn

The new Crusade book.

I found a severely out of date Warlord Games voucher (had been dropped in a box during a house move). Good folks at Warlord replaced with a new code, so I ordered the Victory at Sea rulebook and a Bismarck miniature.

Just finished reading a book on the sinking of that ship, and like the idea of a project where I don't need to make any terrain!

See, that's the kinda service that keeps you going back to a company. They're under no obligation to give a customer a new voucher just because they forgot about the one they had, yet they do. Can't ask fairer then that.

Strike squads for Grey Knights.
With the release of the new rules and the arrival of sticky objectives being a thing for these guys. Not to mention the fact that I can just jump my dudes around the map like a cocked up rabbit. I'm getting back into the idea of having actual power armor in my army again, and the fact that nearly my entire army sits on a 2+sv, with nearly universal 4+inv. Is not a bad thing to be happy about, either.

Maybe another land raider as well, because why not.

I purchased two Index boxes and two jars of paint.

Cheers,

CB

Imperium Magazine Issue 49 - the one with all the squad leaders, special weapons and single Penitent Engine.

Store got maybe 90 or 100 in stock. They were gone in less than 5 minutes. You could hit refresh on the page and watch the numbers dropping 10 at a time.

Also a big ol' box'o'Skinks.

A set of metal dice and the GM's toolkit for Adventures in Rokugan.

I picked up a pair of Phobos Librarians & another two squads of eliminators - to go with the ones I've already got.
Time to build something annoying....

I went and purchased the rule book for 10th as reading off a screen just was not working for me.

Cheers,

CB

Just got an intercessors box and a bunch of bits to customize them for a Kill Team squad.

I've recently gotten my fiance into Space Hulk and playing that with her has got me itching for a skirmish game

Succumbed to Genestealer Cult Atalan Jackals purely for liking the models.. barely have a kill teams worth elsewhere - but heck - why not?

Got to the shop today & discovered that my Baal Predator I'd ordered some time ago finally came in. So....

I have a nephew that is really into WW2 history and wants to join the navy when he is older, decided it was time to introduce him to wargaming!

So have got a Deepcut studios water mat, and a Bismarck, Prince Eugen, Hood and Prince of Wales battleships from Warlord. Quick little project and we are going to have a go at recreating the battle of the Denmark strait (in which the Hood was sunk historically)

I've been scrounging around for various 3rd and 4th edition 40k items on eBay (mostly old Tau models for now).

Most recently some limited edition helmetless Pathfinder Shas'ui (not sure where this one's from), and the limited edition Ethereal from the 2006 army box (missing backpack but oh well).

This mini agnostic fantasy game https://www.wargamevault.com/product/434670/Four-Delvers
No brainer buy for the price listed, and I already have tons of fun just reading it.

Bought myself a 3d printed Kislev army for warmaster.

The DM for our Friday 5eD&D game told me that the current campaign is nearing it's end and that he's wanting to do Spell Jammer next.
So I just picked up the cheapest set of Spell Jammer books.

2x Ironclad Dreadnoughts.

Pretty much the only type of Dread I don't have.

Finally finished off my Team Yankee USA force today.
Added a MLRS unit & a small infantry section.

The new Necromunda cards.

Elven Woods terrain from Archon Studio

Uranian Royal Guard and Legionaries (not-Flash Gordon movie bad guy troops) from Crooked Dice Games.

New hobby knife.

Wizkids earth elemental, on a whim.

Another Predator kit.

Now all I need is 1 more Baal for my BA "Predator Co."
*3 Annihilators 3/3
*3 Destructors 3/3
*3 Baal 2/3
*3 Deimos 3/3

Not really hobby per se, but hobby adjacent. I pre-ordered the upcoming Ciaphas Cain novel on Mighty Ape, so really looking forward to that!

I've pounced on the android netrunner base set plus three expansions. Been looking to get involved in that game for quite a bit.

Vellejo paint. Ordered two more big Table War cases.

Just ordered me a hard copy of Five Parsecs From Home as well as the PDF.

6 more Von Ryan's Leapers.

I was very impressed with their impact on the game (using two units of 3), so I found someone selling them locally pretty cheap and with free shipping, so now I can do two full units.

I got some models 3D printed for me.
Including a set of trolls (by Duncan Shadow) that are the roughly in the style I had in mind (somewhere between Warcraft and Warhammer).

Rhino and Immortal Hulk mail order last week.
Greenstuff and plastic glue at my FLGS on Saturday,

A full set of professionally printed Warhammer Quest '95 tiles: The original core set tiles, plus the two expansions packs, plus every WD and expansion tile, plus three to four times as many additional fan-made tiles. All done in the same style and thickness and quality of the originals (even better, actually). Not cheap, but it's my Birthday present to myself.

Imperium Magazine Issue 54.

Set of Heresy Jetbikes, a second Leviathan, the AoS W+ model from last year, and the map of the ruined Imperial Palace.

And soon, Codex Tyranids as I’ll be needing that in due course.

A Morkanought.
With an amusing story attached as to why.

Short version:
Because my grots tend to loot things that get killed during our games. These things then reappear as Looted vehicles/gunz/bitz in future games.
Usually it's enemy hardware, & generally only if I win.
There's exceptions to both though.....

Longer version:


Now I have a Morkanought to build.

Ordered the 3d printing of a whole bunch of minis I made on Hero Forge. Including some Fantasy versions of WW2, a few elves, and a few dwarves soldiers, most being humans for my Angaran Chronicles Skirmish Game. As well as a couple of characters for the kids at my gaming club to eventually paint. I also bought some Grimdark-looking, not-Tempustus Scion proxies for my eventual Inquisition Grimdark Future 2,000-point army from Etsy.

Commander Cody for Legion and a Urban Lance for BT.


Hoping to score a Land Raider or OG Grey Knight terminators next.

Got some pre-order of the new Tyranids stuff. Got myself the Datacards and two pack of dice. Held of for the codex as I wanted to check the special edition one, but I checked 20min after it went up and it was already gone, so gonna grab the standard one when I go pick up my pre-order instead. still debating if I puck up any new Nids now, or wait ad focus on finishing painting the 2 Leviathan half I have (Neurogaunts and Neuroryrant left for the first one).

I'm tempted by the Emissary because big Nids models are always fun and quick to do!

Bought a ticket to enter the area bb sevens league; paid my buddy for 3D printing a half dozen ruins for fantasy gaming; and two different colors of Two Thin Coats paint—-really impressive coverage from their trooper white

Guy at my local was having a fire sale of his backlog, so I nabbed the Leviathan termie captain for a tenner.

Picked up the issue of Stormbringer with Zarbag's Gitz in it.

Bought a bunch of paint and grass tufts at my FLGS. Looking kinda hard at some older used books I might want to pick up too.

Bought Chimera and Hellhound proxies by Station Forge and some Duck Soldier minis for a kid in my miniature war gaming club who loves ducks all from Etsy.

Two issues of Stormbringer for £12. One was the intro issue with the Knight-Incantor and her Kruleboyz counterpart with his little mate. The other was Xandire's Truthseekers.

Just bought a 1:48 SCUD TEL. Gonna be a monster on the table. Will find use as a target for raid scenarios using my modern figs.

I just picked up some Kruleboyz as they look so good to paint! I have purchased Gobbsprak, a Killa Boss, a Shaman, a standard, 10 boys with spears, 20 grots, a killa boss on gnashtoof, a snatch a boss on sludgeraker beast, 10 boys with hand weapons, and 6 crossbow orruks.

I've painted 20 grots, the killa boss with stabba, the shaman with pot grot, and have the the boss with gnashtooth on the painting table. The grots were amazing and simple to paint up.

Prime with wraithbone. Paint the skin Iyaden Yellow and Sepia wash. The armor is lead belcher. The ropes are snakebite leather, the loin cloth is grashrak sewer. Put some grashrak or Agrax over the lead belcher armor. Bases were mud and I used some shrubs and ard coat to make the mud look wet.

Couple of bitz for my Tau & eldar.
Tau: Several weapons for my Crisis suits (Ion Blasters weren't even a thing when I originally built this force. I rather like Ion Blasters. ) & some more drones.

Eldar: Replacement cockpit canopies for Wave serpents & Vypers + some extra vehicle weapons.
I think I separated the canopies out long ago to avoid messing them up while priming/painting. Where I put them though.....
The weapons - most are just for increased options, but a few to replace a ones that've somehow gone missing from the Vypers.

Another box for mini's.

Dad and I went to Hamiton so I went to one of the local gaming stores and bought the Imperial Agents Boarding Patrol which will be excellent for my eventual Inquisition list for Grimdark Future. As well as a couple of other things.

Got some squad marker ring from an esty shop. Wanted to try some to see how helpful they'll be in-game. Got one wrong size, so the seller is sending a replacement. Grabed some scenery shipping container along the way to make it worth it (should work for both 40k and Fallout).

Also got some dice bags for my armies (again from etsy). Nice bag with embroidered logo on top, and did some custom to make sure I got the colors I wanted. Even did a custom logo for my Iyanded army that wasn't available in the shop! Got 3 for me and 2 for the GF so that was a nice order.

I finally picked up my 3rd Baal Predator yesterday.

I've been good at not adding to the pile of shame all summer but thanks to a hefty discount I now have a new army on the way... just haven't decided which yet

Just bough some of the GW Made-to-Order scenery. Picked up one Bastion and 2 Martyr bunkers to add to my table!

Also bought and received a mat for our Fallout games, a nice 4x3 double sided one! Was pricey, but gonna be very useful!

I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but there's a GW MTO 40k terrain order I've got to place real soon....
A Bastion, several Bunkers, and a Landing pad.

Fun Fact:

If you get two Bastions, and make one that's twice as tall, you can use the left-over parts to make little short bunkers, as seen here:

Now don't tempt me there, I already though of getting two Bastion, but settled on only one

Surely there's a way to have it being modular at least so I can make the small bunker every now -and-then!

Found a place doing the McFarlane dollies at half price, so I bought myself an artist proofs genestealer, dark angel and chaos marine. Was going to grab the pre-painted 'stealer and one of the artist proof orks too. But that seemed like a bit much...

Thinking about it... hmm... KT Boarding Action terrain, current Warcry season terrain and Ash Wastes terrain.

1 Primaris Captain w/Jump Pack
1 Primaris Assault Marines box
1 Terminator Chaplain
1 Neurolictor
1 Norn Emmissary

Looking forward to trying out the Emmissary. Need to make a list with him in it.

A $20 bargin box of 15mm historical "stuff", because it looked like a Republican Roman army.
I am now the proud(?) owner of a mid-Repuplican legion and an ancient Spanish army.
Just need to figure out what to do with the random bits and pieces and fill out the rest of a Punic Wars project.

400 zip lock bags to sort my bits

These bad boys and their army-book

always love to see people buying things they really, really need instead of fancy new models.

I bought a bunch of Epic scaled terrain - ruins, industrial spires and some trench lines. Hopefully they suit the scale of AT and LI!

Also bought some boxes with the intention of magnetising my dudes.

There was a big toy, comic, and collectible sale at my local mall today, and I managed to score a copy of Battle Masters (the Milton Bradley game with Games Workshop figures and stuff in it) for a pretty reasonable price. The box is beat to hell and there were a tiny handful of parts missing, but I couldn't pass it up.

6 warglaives in resin for AT
and hopefully for Legion Imperalis

I added another Autarch for my Eldar today.
The 1st conversion last week worked well, so I decided to make a 2nd similar....

Picked up a Deathleaper.

The plastic tower in that box was one of my main terrain pieces back in the days of 2nd Ed.

Picked up a near pristine Codex: Armageddon for a tenner. Thank you man at my local club.

Also grabbed a pot of Armageddon Dunes to finish of my Steel Legion squad.

I expect that my next gaming purchase will be the Space Marine codex this weekend.

Unless the pizza I order during tomorrow nights D&D game counts.

edit: Yep, the next purchase was exactly as I predicted.

Ordered a whole lot of things from Etsy including some grassy 2x3 playmats as well as a whole bunch of trees so I can finally have some naturalistic battle fields. Mostly for Five Parsecs and to have a bit more diversity of battlefields for Grimdark Future: Firefight.

What a haul!

For the low low price of about 20 excess Sector Mechanicus terrain sprues, and a few leftover platforms/walkways, I picked up (completely NIB!):

1 Corvus Blackstar
1 Deathstrike Launcher
1 Nightscythe
2 Doomsday Arcs
3 Heavy Destroyers
1 Tyranid Harpy
1 Shard of the Void Dragon

Much better than terrain I don't need.

Bought a squads worth of Lascannons and some of the Heresy DA heads and torsos from a local guy and at a fraction of the price it'd have cost me to get from FW itself.

Looks like my summer hiatus from hobby spending is over.

Just brought home a Cerastus Castigator, and preordered 2x Heresy Battle Group

I accidentally bought 4 Heresy Battlegroups, only intended to get 2 but the site crashed as I was checking out, so I went back to place the order again and I immediately received the order confirmation... and then I received a second order confirmation, and yep - both orders went through.

I've done that before. Once accidentally'd a whole Land Raider.

Did that with the Shadowvault box I was buying to split with someone

Finally took the plunge into plastic teams instead of metal third party teams for Blood Bowl a few weeks back with the Vampires...

Followed that up two days ago with two boxes of the Amazons and a box of the Norse teams.

Happens to the best of us

I missed out on a Battle Group. All of the local online retailers were sold out when I checked yesterday. Oh well..

Id sell you my spare, but shipping would probably murder any savings you'd have over buying the kits individually.

A couple of GW mixed base packs. I wanted 25mm and would've bought the big packs of them, but they'd been sold out at Gap Games, dammit lol

Star Trek Attack Wing releases have been ramping up, and with the ability to play solo games vs. AI via the Alliance sets, I've been playing catch-up. Bought some old prize packs from the "1E" version, and Federation, Klingon, Romulan and Dominion "starter" sets.

They're releasing new attack wing? Weird for them to do that with into the unknown coming next year as what appears to be a replacement

I made an effort to stop buying anything gaming related after having a bit of a mad buying frenzy during covid. However I decided to allow my self some purchases at selwg gaming show and bought a 1:600 scale HMS Hood, some renedra shipping containers, 3 boxes of Perry miniatures Agincourt era English (and Welsh) soldiers and a box of Northstar wild west gunslingers. Oh and a built but unpainted Jain Zar

10 lerna, 1 cataphracti AL praetor, 1 foot AL praetor, 4 proteusi

Finances finally worked out so I could order:

1x Seraphon Vanguard (literally cheaper than getting the Saurus + Kroxigors separately)
2x Sternguard Veterans
1x Company Heroes
1x Terminator Squad
2x Lictors
2x Biovores (literally all they had in stock)
2x Underhive Markets (that we all thought were gone forever)
2x Cawdor Gang boxes

Plus going quarters on a big HH box for a friend.

Bought four boxes of Stargrave minis as antagonists for my eventual Five Parsecs from Home campaign: 1 for soldiers, 1 for mercs, 1 for scavengers and 1 for crew. Each box has twenty minis with quite a few options for around 55 NZD, give or take. Twenty for about half the price of GW minis that contain five minis, especially for Eldar.

Hunter and Hunted, Fall of Cadia, and Flameseekers.

Purchased an old 2nd Banshee Exarch and parts of the original Elderad model (missing an arm).

Cheers,

CB

I went to pick up my Mk3 box but will have to wait until Tuesday now... I did pick up a Scorpius though.

Glue & two packs of card sleeves.

A 15mm army of Cossacks, apparently.
Suppose I should fear the arrival of the Winged Hussars now.

Also some buildings and limbers for Napoleonic.

Loctite gel super glue, some cheap watery super glue, steel shim (.001 in.), rare earth magnets, and some 3D printed movement trays.


And a lot consisting of Orcs and Goblins, Empire, and two squads of Orks and a couple Nobs.

Just scored myself a Chaplain dreadnought for an insanely good price.

And I think I might be about to nab a box of the BoP MkIII marines. Fingers crossed.

Urbanmech pack for Alpha Strike - fer da LOLs.

CA glue.

Regicide expansion for "Forbidden Psalm".

Deredeo and Rogue Trader, so I can preserve my original copy.

19 Space Marine Helmets, specifically most of the Black Templar Sword Brethren helmets and 12 of the new Company Champion helmets.

The Embossed Black Templar symbol is easy to remove, and all will go towards my Sergeants and other important Primaris models as I prefer Crusader-style helms to Primaris/Mk.IV helmets.

I finally gave in & picked up the 3 Wave Serpents I needed to fully mechanize my Eldar infantry.

Now I just need to find someone parting with vintage metal Wraithlord legs (at some reasonable price + shipping) so I can finish rehabbing WL#3....

Got myself on some sculped resin old Stormtroopers because FFS I ain't shelling that much mulah for those on ebay.
I had bought one or blister packs of pewter Stormtroopers I got back when I was in uni (which I have in my gallery), always wanted more of those.
Oh, also a whole bunch of glue.

Didn't get the MkIII I was after, but did instead find someone selling the OoP Moonscape craters NIB, which I got for a paltry $50 + shipping.

Got myself some 5th edition Ratlings. Surprised (in a good way) that they never seems to have been released in finecast.

So you're the one who bought one of those sets! I briefly considered buying both sets the guy had on offer.

Same guy tried selling those for $75 or $100 a few weeks back. Obviously didn't get any bites with that price.

Weird. The Ratling Gun on the website also says metal, but I have FineCost versions.

(I bring that up because Ratling Snipers are the 8th result when you search for Ratlings on GW's horrid new website... after many AT "Gatling" weapons... )

Legion Battle Group.

It was just there. On the shelf.

MkIII I think I’m gonna use for Veteran Units. Maybe defer assembly until I buy some MkIII pads to tart them up.

Oh no, I've been sprung!
I probably would have grabbed both myself If I were able. Bombed out cities always need more craters. I sorta impulsed bought them because I thought $50 seemed a reasonable prices considering they're NiB. Certainly a better price then the ~$75 a crater people on ebay are asking!
Don't suppose you remember what price they were when they were released do you?

I can't find any record of when I got my sets sadly - I might've bought them in a store rather than online - but probably around the $45-$50 mark. I turned half of mine into cool Martian craters. Haven't done anything with the second set yet, though they'll likely end up more standard rock/streets grey.

The places selling them now though... wow. Noble Knight has two sets in stock. AUD$200 each!

Ah cool. I got them for a good price then.

This wasn't the only set of craters GW did though was it?

 Snrub wrote:

It was not. The infamous Planetstrike Blastscape came out in 2009.

The website used the resin masters to show them off, and the eventual product was really crap quality. The details were worse than the Moonscape craters, and if the resin masters were 4k, the actual product was 640x480.

I returned mine for a full refund, if you can believe it. Never done that with a GW product before or since.

Bought a couple of boxes of Tenfold Dungeon: Starship Vengeance to represent the interior of my crew's ship for my Five Parsecs from Home campaign.

Ratlings were never a really big seller I take it


I also just ordered two boxes of Catachans. Partly because any update to that box will not look good with my current guardsmen (and I'm not starting a third guardsman army just for the new kits) but also because my totally not zulu era style IG needs some totally not highland jacobites kilt-wearing CQB support.

That's crazy

Came home with the new Warcry big box (I suppose they're medium boxes now) and 2 Horus Heresy Battlegroups

God help me, but this week I bought almost $2k of A Song of Ice and Fire. My wife and I are that in love with the game!

Another new Jump Pack Captain, and a second Primaris Techmarine.

32% off (and that's including shipping!). Not bad.

Got a good price on a unit of Gondorians and Uruk-hai that included a few characters I didn't have. And bonus, it was within walking distance, so I got some fresh air too!

And that's two sprues of KT Soulshackle terrain for $80. Not bad given that they're going on eBay anywhere from $90-$120 each (and GW is charging $105).

Weirdest items I ever bought was a quartet of Myphitic Blight Haulers. Guy had 2 built and 2 NIB. I bought them and he said he'd drive them around as he "needed some fresh air". About an hour later he shows up at my door and hands them to me. No delivery costs.

Well my craters just turned up and wow. The quality of them is heinous compared to regular GW stuff. The details on them are fine, no issues there, but the plastic itself feels like something out of a cheap kids toy set and was not at all what I was expecting. Is this what all the chinese made stuff is like?
And if these craters are this bad then I can only imagine what the Planetstrike Blastscape quality was like then. They must have been dire.

The craters you got are masterworks compared to the Planetstrike set. Trust me!

BB Vampire set with board, dice and cards. Thought I'd just paint them up nicely and sell on ebay, but got too lazy

All of the plastic Necromunda weapon upgrade packs (other than the not-Delaque one), plus an extra box of Sternguard.

Bought the pdf of the latest expansion for Five Parsecs from Home: Fixer's Guidebook and after reading through it a bit. It has some cool things such as a new faction system that seems quite interesting indeed.

1x Space Marines: Spearhead Force
1x World Eaters: Exalted Of The Red Angel

Mwahahaha!

I Took the 1st step to bringing my Drukhari back up to 2k pts yesterday & bought the last box of Scourges in my area.

Assembly then proved annoying as Hell.
●1st, other than heat lance/Splinter cannon, I don't know Drukhari guns.
And the instructions don't lable them. Just giving the little picture & stat block on the last page. Wich isn't much help as the stats are from 8e (thank God for Whahapedia)
●2nd, unless I want all shard carbines, or wildly mismatched guns, there's only 1 of each upgrade gun on the sprues (heat lance, dark lance, etc)....
Grrr.

So my latest purchase turns out to be a bitz order, spread between several sellers as everyone seems to only have 1 copy of any given upgrade weapon listed.
Grrr x2.
I mean, all I wanted was +3 Splinter Cannon & an extra set of fethered wings....

On the + side I finally managed to come across a cheap enough pair of vintage metal Wraithlord legs!

It varies but the "soft" GW chinese plastic looks to me to be a mix of PVC and ABS, similar to Warmachine plastics, high end Bones, etc.

The Blastscape was vacuuformed HIPS, basically they lay a sheet of plastic over a sculpted crater and heat it up until it droops over the sculpt, taking its basic shape. Detail wise it's basically comparable to the reverse/inner side of normal models.

Even though I should know better, I grabbed two of the Votann Battleforce boxes. With discount it was $400 for both, and I know its a rare case of a deep GW discount and almost every unit in the boxes will get used.

After 10,000 years of waiting... a pack of 36 yellow/black pips opaque 12mm Chessex dice.

Pre-ordered legions imperialis plus baneblades + kratos tanks.

Bitz ordered a heavy Wraithcannon.

The local shop has a nicely discounted Wraith Knight sitting in the 2nd hand case I'm planning on picking up this weekend. But it's armed with sword/shield.

Bought a few assassin proxies from Etsy for my Grimdark Future Independent Inquisition list. I also bought some Tamiya weathering stuff and super glue.

Pre ordered LI and cards

Eldar support weapon and 28.5mm bases.

The support weapon is fantastic value for only £17, even without discount. I've had a Deathjester conversion for ages now, but it's base detail is slightly too big for the usual size of 25mm. Also managed to sculpt-patch a 6th model out of the Howling Banshees kit, and she's been yelling at me ever since for her own base...

Ordered the Necromunda Ash Wastes Outpost box.



... and also maybe 4 other boxes just like it...

While I picked up my Nids battle box at my LFGS (was already paid for), I also got myself Valerian and Aleya for my Custodes. Helped with a store voucher I won that paid most of it

Took advantage of the local shops Thanksgiving sale & finally bought a bunch of MCP Spiderman villain figures I'd been eyeing.

Now I'm just waiting on AMG to release Electro, Vulture, Sandman and (hopefully) Scorpion.

Limited edition AdMech codex.

Ordered the Necron and Mechanicus codexes, couple of unit boxes for LI and some paints.

new MK3 marines so I can have mixed squads with CSM and HH marines for my IW 40k army.

FedEx dropped off the latest Dystopian Wars starter (lovely American zeppelins!)

Also ordered a very cheap 10" tablet from Bezos specifically for accessing rules pdfs during gaming.

Does filing my pre-order with the shop for my Grotmas Gitz count?

Oh FLGS just pinged me, my Seraphon xmas box is ready for pickup.

Bought a few STLs of minis I made on Hero Forge. One for one of the kids who is a regular of my miniature gaming club. I also ordered 3d printing by a place down in Christchurch.

Bunch of fun new paints to try out and some new sable brushes.

I caved and picked up 4 old metal Harlequins (from eBay) to fill the missing spots from my gaming friends gift of old and some damaged Eldar models.

Cheers,

CB

I bought some of the more recent Bushido metals and was pleasantly surprised. Probably not getting into the game proper, but I'll use them as an excuse to build some feudal Japanese terrain.

Nabbed a cheap copy of Cursed City with full contents. My undead legions just got a bolster.

The Bolt Action rulebook and the Soviet Army book just arrived. Looking forward to playing!

My Ork Killrig finally came in at the shop.

I'd ordered it so long ago & then it never came & never came & never came that I'd forgotten about it!

The new Neutral Heroes box 3 for Song of Ice and Fire.

Arya sculpt is cool and the she has very good rules.

Also picked up the scimitar wielding Darkstar unit for my Martells. They look mediocre for 7 points, but sculpts were too good to pass up.

1x Necromunda: Ruins of Jardlan
1x Van Saar Ash Wastes Arachni-Rig
1x Van Saar Vehicle Cards

Again.

Because the first time I ordered this I got Porch Pirated. Thankfully the store refunded me for that.

Today's mailbag:

- A copy of Battle Masters

- LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring starter set from Games Workshop

- Bunch of old White Dwarfs and rulebooks

I ordered some dead Station Forge not-Death Korps of Krieg to use on my Attelus and Adelana from Secret War ambushing cultists diorama. And a cool Station Forge colonel mini who I intend to use for Commissar Delan Tathe.
Also ordered a cool Station Forge Inquisitor mini with a two-handed power sword just because he looks cool.

2x1mm magnets, for use with eldar heavy weapons( guardians and warwalkers ). A Vyper Jetbike to complete a 500 point Ulthwe army, trying to stick with the Seer'n'Guardian-only theme and was going with another support weapon or warwalker, but a fast unit keeps it safe from a future edition that might have units of walkers and platforms that must stay in formation.

Today I received a set of Japanese MDF buildings by sarissa precision. Sponges for thatched roofs are a clever design.

Oh how I hate waiting on deliveries that require a signiture...
It's a fairly nice day here & there are outdoor/barn things that need doing away from the house.
Far enough away that I wouldn't notice the delivery truck coming, then leaving, screwing up the delivery.

While I wait though I've built & primed Blood Throne #2 for my Khorne Demons!

1x Abhorrant Gorewarden
1x Varghulf Courtier

They'll make very nice (or not so nice) adversaries in Warhammer Quest!

I love bits sites that strip these new boxes for oarts.

Picked up a used Wraithknight this evening for a very nice price.
Plus all the new Necron stuff.

Wife is getting me warlord epic napoleonic brits

I got the Exalted of the Red Angel, Kharn's on his way and at some point in the new year I'll get the World Eater battleforce.

With borrowing tanks from my main CSM force. That's basically an entire army.

Wattle/Timber Outbuilding by Renedra.

Sprue of the Living Dead Peasants from Fireforge Games.

I bought some Kasrkin to replace the ones that I accidentally melted while trying to strip them (not quite as acetone free as advertised).

I also bought a load of foam mats and cork to make another kill team board, but might save it for a larger board for my planned Tomb Kings for Old World.

1x Necromunda Apocrypha
2x Palanite Enforcer Taurus Venators

Having accidentally found out that I'm getting the Legion Imperialis starter box for Xmas.....

I picked up an Administratim Sector terrain box.

Whoops, wrong thread!

Funny that the first time I came into this thread I mistook the word game for videogames :')

Anyway, these were the purchases of my previous (about a week or 2 ago already, time flies) trip to the city that has a warhammer store, spent about 280 euros there (though I would spend more but they didn't have some of the things I was looking for (yet)

Inteded mainly to get a Gyrobomber (for the challenge thread) which I did (and thats why that one isn't in the pic because I already built and painted it when I took these pics yesterday )
Got another runeguy (my first I made into leopold helveine the main character of my WH inspired novel(s) as you can see in my user icon) which I will build with two hammers this time I think, and another warden king which I will surround with treasure (cut up plastic jewels and gold stuff likely)

Asking at the clerk (a really cool guy who helped me big time) for anything disposessed he eventually also came back with the white dwarf.. now.. I have little love left for the magazine (due to them not responding to immense mails with loads of imagery after they specifically advertised for fan-based content using up entire pages in the mags I used to buy full price go figure' thrice<-- until I sent them a mail asking why they advertised so explicitly and then not even responding to all the effort I put into composing those mails to which they just responded with "we get a lot of mails and your mini's weren't good enough" (while it wasn't even about that in the first place, but whatever) (Anyway thats all kindof off topic I guess but 1: I like to type. 2: I still have a cold so I'm distracting myself from that with typing and 3: "my mental disorder is that I always elaborate, even when it makes everything nigh unreadable, forgive me. Not trying to be funny. )

SO let's get to the gist..

I always liked the look of the Eldar shining spears but didn't really have a use for it, but now that my Eldar cupboard looked more empty than that of my Orks and Tyranids I thought what the heck.. then.. when I picked up that shining spear box.. behind it was tucked away a CLASSIC (jet squad!).

I yoinked that like a monkey spotting a golden banana.

Also grabbed a leader unit for my future hoverbike crew.

Got the special ed. captain for my still boxed (towering pile of shame) new Votann army and the new box of robotty things (I don't like the vehicles of the votann but love the dronelike things so went that road)..

Lastly, also bought a Tyranid squidcannon (the new one, yes I know its not called a squidcannon but forgot the name and want to wrap this post up) which I forgot to photograph I think.

Hope that informs Dakka of my warhammerbuyaholicalism.
-Leopold Helveine.

2x Killzone: Bheta-Decima

Decided against getting the regular KT box. I'll find another way to get the terrain sprue in that kit.

Bought some Gaunt's Ghosts proxies (including a new version of Gaunt I hope to convert to be Commissar Delan Tathe from Secret War) and a whole lot of High Elf proxies from Etsy.

Purchased some plastic card for more Necromunda rebuilds.

Cheers,

CB

Does a Christmas Eve present count? Desert colored wool blanket to use as a gaming mat.

I picked up two sets of Aeronautica Imperialis for use alongside my new Legions Imperialis.

●Wrath of Angels (for the Xyphons Storm Eagles)
&
●Skies of Fire (for the Lightnings - not sure if the Valkyreis will be useful)

They've been sitting, forgotten/ignored & marked well down on clearance, at a little local comic/game shop for ages.
I'm glad no one else really paid them any attention.

A box of unpainted 15mm 7 Years War British and French.
I decided that I should do a Canadian wargaming project.

Procured copies of The Frozen Horror and Mage of the Mirror for my HeroQuest collection. And I’ve got Rise of the Dread Moon on order which, in theory, should be in my greasy mitts by the end of the week.

Also pre-ordered the Wandering Monk hero set, but no idea when said order will be fulfilled other than “probably in Spring”.

So that’s me with one of everything, more or less. As the only model I’ll be missing is the female Knight, thanks to Avalon Hill not exactly advertising it was coming out. But hey, at least the Male model is included in Rise of the Dread Moon.

Gonna bother my FLGS to see if I can lead a group through all the adventures

Got some plastic shipping containers.

Cheers,

CB

A 2nd box of LI Solar Auxillia infantry.

I haven't actually played the game yet, but what came in the starter set looked a bit light. So....

x2 packs of TK dice
x1 pack of Old World dice.

Fetch the pitchforks and torches - we got a scalper!!

Finally found a techmarine and picked up a Repulsor Executioner to add to my DW options. Not sure if I'll end up running Ironstorm but I've been wanting to flesh out my collection into something diverse enough to survive an errata and have been notably lacking in Vehicles.

First purchase of the year: Imperium Magazine Issue 74

It's the one with the Firestrike turret. Basically 50% off retail. Not bad.

Would've bought two, but they limit the in-demand ones to one per customer (it's a minor miracle I got three of the Flayed One issues).

They were sold out everywhere I normally shop for the last few months. Ironstorm moved a lot of marine vehicles.

The shop sent me a text letting me know my Grotmas Gitz has arrived.

So Fri (1/5/24) when I'm in for some gaming I'll pick it up


I'll have only made it 4 days into the new year without a new hobby purchase.

Second Imperialis core set, a second box of Kratos, and a box of Flame/Melta/Plasma for Heresy. Which I imagine will be wielded by my MkIII Maureen’s.

My brother picked up a Landsnecht (Sure it's horribly butchered spelling) boxed set from Warlord Games, I believe. The one that comes with almost 100 Pikemen, which means the Empire Spearmen he took from me years ago for his DOW army are now coming back along with a bunch of Empire stuff we got in a lot with Orcs and Orks. So Empire Army is inbound.




Also I commissioned a dozen 125x100mm movement trays in the style of the old lime green GW trays from a coworker.

Just picked up part of my late '23 preorders at the FLGS

FEC launch box
Seraphon xmas battleforce
2x HH Assault Squad

Necromunda Apocrypha book.

Some new rules, but mostly a handy compendium of online articles.

And being a sad old git? I love me a good Compendium.

Striker Lance for Battletech. My Draconis Combine just need a Dragon and they're 'done'.

Have my eyes on a Age of Darkness box. Saving my tipouts for it!

I am suffering from a crap-ton of buy's remorse after buying the Kill Team: Salvation box. I bought it from a local site at a discount; even then, here in NZ, it's way overpriced, but it was the last one left, so FOMO and I don't want to stop it because I like supporting local hobby retailers. I also want both the Striking Scorpions for my Eldar (or High Elf Fleets for Grimdark Future) army, and the Scouts seem like a damn cool kit for a skirmish team for Grimdark Future: Firefight and as antagonists my Five Parsecs from Home campaign.

Museum miniatures has their January sale on, so I got a bit of this and that; including a pack elephant, sheep and a scythed chariot.

Two boxes of Epic Scale Rhinos.

Vroom vroom!

Oathmark Goblin Slaves and a box of Conquest velociraptor hunting packs, both just for general undefined skirmish game use.

Went into Chaos Cards to look for a AD&D book. Instead walked out (after paying, I’m not a tea leaf) the rules for WHFB and a pot of Incubi Darkness.

All the books for The Old World + 2 boxes of the Sepulchral Stalkers.

Just ordered a damn cool Vindicare Proxy and an Inquisition squad proxy from Etsy.

Brought home my ToW preorders (a box of Tomb Guard and TK dice)

Some more Warmachine (the Stormforged lightning wizard cadre) as well as my first Dropfleet Commander fleet - split a starter and got a battleship

I found a squadron of 4 IA Thunderbolt fighters at an acceptable price.

It's not what I was planning to add to the Imperialis collection next, and they don't really do anything to get me closer to my 3k pt goal (I already have Lightnings & Avengers).
But the Thunderbolt is my favorite Guard/Navy fighter model wise, so.....

I don't have a problem. You have a problem!

I just got a baneblade going to make a skullhamma (finally) and a battlewagon to convert it, all I'm missing is plasticard rn, I also picked up Deathwing assault for my fallen angels, I'm thinking death wing with spikey bits like the csm termies have.

A few paints, and an acrylic, three level riser for my first Display Cabinet, so I make better use of the space when it comes to Epic scale models.

With the release of The Olde World, 16 year old me is super happy to get the chance to paint some Bretonians. I got the big box about a week ago and over the weekend, ordered a couple of models (damsels and BSB).

Just worked a very nice trade with one of the guys at the local shop for the new Belial, DA Codex, & the DA cards from his 2nd Deathwing box.

If that's what you call a problem, I want one too!

Bought an Airfix Hawker Hurricane Mk.1 model. My first model aircraft. Looking forward to hopping into it.

Quick visit to Element.

2 x Army Painter Gun Metal

1 x pot Mechanicus Standard Grey

1 x Heresy Jetbikes

Only went in for paints. And only went to Element because my FLGS is a bit bobbins at keeping stuff in stock, and I’m running really low on Gun Metal.

Made an order with Goblin Gaming last week.

Picked up the Necrons Codex and a few painting/assembling bits I think I'll need in the future.

Pot of Agrellan Earth and Ardcoat, large painting handle, refills for my wet palette and a new clipper.

Had been using the Citadel clippers that came in the painting starter set I bought last year, but they've damaged a few pieces while cutting them from the sprue so had to go.

Picked up a Troupe of harlequins and a voidweaver to ally in my growing Drukhari, just to have something different.

I just joined a Dungeon Crawl Classics game this past Sat.
So I picked up a cheap dice tray as the stupid d24 ; d30 will just roll & roll & roll across the table otherwise....

On a whim trying to put together a 3rd/4th edition Daemonhunters force so I've been looking for metal Grey Knights on ebay. Strike teams easy enough to get but Terminators are damn expensive and rare in comparison.

Got 2 5-man strike squad and a purgation squad coming. Should get an inquisitor. Already have some metal kasrkins I may as well use for this.

Found one at a price that wasn't eye-gougingly high.

Spent way too much on more Mantic Terrain Crate terrain, some scatter terrain as well as a military compound and a landing zone. I realised a while back I don't have enough in the way of non-damaged terrain for a diverse range for my games. I also ordered a couple of cool Infinity minis mostly just for painting and displaying. A Húláng Shocktrooper and an Achilles v2. They're damned nice minis.
