Happy Unpacking Thread re: Xmas 2019

Plenty of gaming stuff at the house of Fish.

I received the new Judge Dredd starter box - looks good despite limited amount of villains being induced in the base rulebook - could an expansion be in the works?

Younger lad (aged 7)  received 'Tanks: the Modern Age' while his brother (aged 9) got a couple of issues of Warhammer Conquest that have enough for a chaos rhino and a copy of Star Wars Risk.

Not a bad haul for everyone.

I got the necromunda palanite enforcers and the red gobbo, along with the perilous dark frostgrave book.

The palanite figures are as nice in person as they looked in the pictures and may well be jumping up the painting queue.

I bought myself the ambots and bullgryns, as I'm working on a bit of a cyberpunk thing just now

I bought myself some warzone v1 figures (trenchers imperial), a complete necromunda v2 metal goliath gang, 2 sets of valiant miniatures ww2 german paratroopers, and the modern ruleset "Contact Front"

I got!...nothing.
Not even a card from friends or family...
Yay...

I got a bottle of Calvados - enough of that and my figure painting is sublime....

My wife gave me the Battle Systems Frontier Core Set plus Medical Bay add-on so my Colonial Marines and Aliens have something to fight on and my son and daughter gave me 4 board wargames.  My miniatures wargaming is slowly being replaced by more and more board wargaming.

A whole bunch of the new Warlord Dredd range

My family hates my hobby (obsession). 

One of my sisters got me some gorgeous Wargames Foundry Landsknechts five years ago, though.

Bad show.

Not really anything hobby related,I did buy myself a Dremel Stylo,and from my wife a book of illustrations by Kay Nielsen,another biography of G. Orwell, Trinity (book about the Manhattan project),and a Badger mug(I like Badgers  ).

It takes some of the mystery out of it, but MrsCub and I started writing 'want lists' at Crimbo time a few years back. She buys some of the things herself and then farms out the rest to family, so I got a lot of lovely stuff.

A book on Robert Guiscard in Norman Italy, Bernard Cornwell's latest Uhtred book, the latest Judge Dredd Complete Case Files issue, a box of Star Wars Hoth Rebel Troopers, a box of Star Wars Hoth Tauntaun Riders, and some pleasant surprises from my dad, a bunch of Vallejo paints and a pack of quality brushes. A good haul indeed.

Rick W., I’m looking forward to putting the Frontier Core Set together.  I’ve had painted Leading Edge Games Aliens and Colonial Marines miniatures sitting around for many years.  We’ve rarely played with them because our group has very little in the way of sci-fi or futuristic scenery.  I have a couple suitable structures but after a couple games it became clear I needed something more in line with our expectations of an Aliens game would look and play like.
