I got ultra tiny epic kingdoms, and doctor panic.

Doctor Panic: some kind of game or fear of some work related goings on?

 

It's a crazy coop game, made for parties or kids. I intend to use it to teach PDSA cycles and 4S.

So a boxen appeared at my door today....

 

This Ral Partha AD&D Battle System set 10-563

HarragSkullsmasher and his Gnoll Raiders

My first aborted attempt at mini painting in 2011 (I began for reals in 2012) was one of these dudes!

 

 

 

 

My latest acquisition is a restock++. Running low on burnt umber and my 4B is getting pretty short. Also threw in a couple other paints I'm using for this project (borrowed the instructor's for initial layin), some mediums to play with glazing later, and a really cool book on charcoal figure drawing (my current obsession).

Unacquired: Citadel Golden Griffon. When I popped it open I found that the dry paint was.........dry. As in, beyond usefulness. From a store that's over 2 hours away. I called them and they said they'd exchange it, but this isn't the first time I've gotten garbage paint from them specifically. If the other store around the corner had this paint in, I would have gotten there instead. Think I'm going to make them give me a refund instead, and then buy from the other store.

 

 

EDIT: Checked Underhive Ash, was a solid chunk of rubberized acrylic. Also checked Imperial Primer, frothed up as soon as I shook it; not a good sign. As soon as I used the brush to probe it, I found that the medium was a solid chunk at the bottom, and the liquid on top was what separated from it. Called the store back, they're having the manager call me tomorrow. Three out of five paints are complete trash, and I won't be back in the Big City for a couple months. I am beyond irritated right now.

 

EDIT EDIT: Realized that the Underhive Ash is from the other store, I know them well enough that they'll swtich it out as soon as they get their shipment, no questions asked. Still, all of this has made me channel my inner ub3r a little bit.

I got more minis storage

Sometimes I think the storage is the best part of this hobby (well, second to actually gaming with others). Does that make me weird?

That IS a requirement for being one of us.

Sounds like my experience with buying Citadel paints. The first couple I bought were in great shape, and I love the Khorne Red's color. But every paint I've bought since has either been useless or needed work to revive. And some of them were bought directly from GW.

 

Anyway, I acquired an order of Volo's Guide to Monsters and a pre-order of Tales from the Yawning Portal. Gonna get some 5e race options and the Tomb of Horrors up in here! Seriously, I think Wizards is really knocking it out of the park on their 5e stuff. One of my friends already has Volo's and he's got Storm King's Thunder, and he loves both of them. I've got Curse of Strahd, and I'm wishing that GF9 would reprint the DM's screen they specifically made for it because I am dying to run it and that screen is both awesome and super-handy as it's designed specifically for the setting of Barovia. Another friend has the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide and both Rise of Tiamat and Hoard of the Dragon Queen, and he raved about them as well. They're keeping rules releases light, while still doing all sorts of optional things online through Unearthed Arcana, and they're really kicking butt with the adventures. And I'm loving it.
