Wargaming Advent Calendars Dec 2024

[Lost Egg]

Ooo this ones a big one! Behold the majesty of Day 7...

Some dice, yay. At least its another days reprieve from adding to the paint pile

At some point they could assume that the people buying the calendar have some specific ingredients already...

Day 8...

A filing cabinet..I think...or maybe some sort of sample storage system? I dunno.

I have also managed to finish the next couple of bits...

I'm continuing with my speedy - grubby look. I will be starting the next 2 pieces of scenery today and I doubt they will take long.

Those at least are easy to use! And they fit into very many systems.

How would you rate your experience so far?

Well that's true. Actually I don't have that many D6s so it was kinda fun to roll them 

How would you rate your experience so far?

I'd say it's been a fun project so far. I'm not really a fan of Mantic's minis and especially not of the strange plastic these ones are made of. Having said that I have been using some of their Terrain Crate stuff for my HeroQuest games and it's worked well.

I grabbed a copy of the advent partly for some sci-fi terrain and partly to try something new; I'm autistic so what I do and don't like tends to be VERY specific but I thought that this being a self-contained little project would be a fun go at something new without a strain on my limited hobby budget.

My son has already asked if we can play when it'd all painted and both my kids enjoy seeing what I get each day.

Love that metallics effect on the table - very nice.

@zemjw - Hmm...sounds tasty though.  Yeah I would have preferred hard plastic. In some ways it's surprising that GW hasn't done one...though I dread to think of the price.

I was in a warhammer shop this morning, and guess what I saw?

Blimey, what a...bargain? 

Day 9...

Yes, more counters. That means I have caught up with the painting...

Tis quite handy as I have a load of work to do tonight so hopefully I can get ahead on that so I'm ready for the next minis / terrain.

Quite exciting - (without any background knowledge) …… My guess is the whole thing is a game based around office admin on a fancy dress Friday - can Nigel the rat feng shui his office furniture, knock out that report, use the stationary cupboards ample supplies to finish his costume (without being caught by Dianne the office manager) and still get to the office crimbo party on time!

Looking forward to updates!

I took merely a quick look but does it not contain only pins? So nothing useful for wargaming at all?

Two of those AoS pins are just arrows

Sounds about right. I'll be sure to let you know how Nigel gets on

Sisters of Battle??? But £60 for pins 

[JollyBob]

And there's only 13 designs in each calendar...?

So are the other 11 doors empty or do you get duplicates?

Or is it one calendar with different printing on both sides?
