Christmas hauls 2014
« on: 24 December 2014, 03:03:29 PM »
It's that time of year again gents, so it's almost time to boast about the new minis added to the lead pile.

I'm posting this a day early because I'm sure a few of you have probably brought presents for yourself or had to not so subtly point loved ones in the right direction, so you've got a good idea what's gonna be on the painting table come boxing day.
never trust a horse, they make a commitment to shoes that no animal should make.

I've got two 40mm Sash & Saber ECW mounted command figures as an early Christmas present... I'm very happy as I rarely receive any "wargame related" present at all... :D

Probably nothing this time round, but I did get a load of plastic wineglasses from the staff party, which are all shades of useful, and which will feature in the scavenging thread  :D

That I know of, a brace of half price Tabletop Workshop buildings from North Star's recent sale,  a Tabletop Workshop tower,  the Chain of Command rules, a few Modelmates weathering liquids, and probably some socks.

I believe I have a few gaming pieces coming my way, but not from the daughter who ordered online, paid, and then got an email stating it's on back-order ... a dirty trick if ever there was one...

I buy my own stuff, all year round. Don't do the whole X-mas thing.
Very convenient  :D

Received 2 sprues with Romans from Warlord Games and 2 Brother-Vinni minis lately.
All in the spirit of Fallout  ;D

I received (from myself) Song of Blades & Heroes and Osprey's Fistful of Kung Fu. Looks like this will be fun.

Everybody have a good holiday!

I made a list of all the little tools I've never got around to buying so I got:

Chopper Mk2
Hot knife
Hexagonal dice rolling tray.

It's my birthday on Sunday so that list will probably grow :)
So many projects..... so little time.......

I always tell my wife to buy me miniatures and she always doesn't. Except this year when she bought every single thing I had written down. Haha!  :o
