Classic Ral Partha haul from IWM!

1800702717_20221230_2307372.thumb.jpg.9573f9fee283265fe455e37b23359721.jpg

 

The fighter in the middle was my first ever miniature. My grandmother bought it for me while we were in a drugstore where she lived. It was a Rawcliffe'ed version with a gem on his belt buckle & one on his sai weapon.

 

Nice haul!

I've made it to all 3 lgs in the , err, whole 2 days I've been back driving (surgeon cleared me on Tuesday).

Picked up the British 8th army artillery on Tuesday at my usual store.

Stopped by the GW store on Wednesday while we were in the neighborhood.  I like their handles, and they lock into the base with flexi clip things I picked up a while ago.

Then today I stopped by the other local store, and they had Legion 15% off, and had a Shadow Collective starter, which my usual store has been able to get in for a couple of months as the distributor is out of stock.

They are a MUCH better deal than buying the 3 boxes for the 3 main units in it, plus you get Maul and Rook Kast.

Walked into the game store looking for paint brushes (some of those new, round-tipped drybrushes).  I walked out without the brushes, but with the Genestealer Cult Combat Patrol.  I knew that was a risk going into it, though.

 

Genestealer Combat Patrol

  • 10 Neophyte Hybrids (x2)
  • 5 Acolyte Hybrids/Hybrid Metamorphs
  • 5 Aberrants
  • 1 Magus (female)
  • 1 Goliath Truck/Goliath Rockgrinder

Also a Harry Potter themed deck of cards that will be given to Eldest and her husband--they're both Potterheads.  The deck is, of course, in their preferred house colors (Gryffindor).

Miniaturemarket.com order recieved last night after 2 delays by UPS. Ok, notice what I got, compared to the packing materials & the size pf the box it got shipped in? OK, then...🤣

 

the bag of peanuts holds x3 each of Astral elf with sword up & Hadozee fighter from the Spelljammer set.

 

Also there is more of that green bubble wrap to the right of the picture & inside the huge box. The way they packaged this, I think I could have gotten a CPU shipped....:rock:

 

Items are 

x3 Astral Elf with sword up (Spelljammer prepainted)

x3 Hadozee fighter (Spelljammer prepainted)

Archon Studios Starfinder space goblins x8

Wizkids black bases 25mm x3

Ultra Pro Eclipse green 100+ card flipcase

With the fuss over the updated OGL license, I received a youtube video update from probably my favorite 3PP adventure maker, Arcane Library. In it, Kelsey mentioned that the way the OGL is worded she is probably going to drop doing 5e stuff (huge loss to the community if she does) & focus more on her own rpg "Shadowdark". Since 5e is my game of choice right now, this saddens me to know end. Every game I ran last year at ReaperCon was made by her & probably one of my favorite adventure is her "Masque of Worms" (a ode to Edgar Allan Poe). Having ran it for 2 different groups(home & RCon) & having 2 different experiences. Just brilliant writing & easy to run adventures.

 

Hopefully, change will happen with the OGL, but knowing WoTC (more Hasbro) probably not, gotta get that cash while they can! Anyways, I picked up the last 2 pdfs of her adventures that I didn't have today, just in case:

 

MONASTERY OF THE SHADOW SORCERERS, 8TH-LEVEL ADVENTURE

 

Monastery1_400x.jpg?v=1627048476

 

GATE OF THE LENS WIZARDS, 15TH-LEVEL ADVENTURE

Ordered a bunch of paint a couple other things from Moment Hobbies.

 

  • 5 packs of 50 paint agitators
  • Bright Jade Turquoise
  • Metallic medium
  • Tan Flesh
  • Vince Venturella signature series paint set
  • Ninjon signature series paint set

I really wanted their new paint go bag but could not justify another 200$ for it today.

This wouldn't happen to have been influenced by the latest rules changes, would it?

Last month, one of my FLGS were selling out some paint brands or lines, so I stocked up.

 

Total cost with taxes: $39CDN.

Converted to USD before taxes: $25USD

And yes, they need to be shaken.

No, it was influenced by own weak will!  :lol:  I wanted another set of Aberrants (to get to 10), another Goliath (to get to 2), and more Neophytes.  I really want to get another couple blobs-worth of Neophytes so I can model multiples with shotguns or autoguns.  I also want to find a good supplier for some extra legs so I use up the extra torsos on the sprue.

 

While I have the codices, I don't even have the current 40k core rules (and with everyone and their mother reporting tenth ed. just around the corner, I'm not about to buy them now).  The last game I played of 40k was during 5th Edition.

Was trolling about on Reddit today when I spotted a mini I liked in the painting subreddit...   

 

Ukraine_10_1024x1024.thumb.jpg.d3230f8a8ecd3640a5fb1630803c8309.jpg

 

The Ghost of Kiyv is the one I noticed. The entire set is $90...   

Chornobaivka_1024x1024.thumb.jpg.cf43ae916d0e1a88f1cba2bf7fb1e598.jpg

Yeah, had to have this one, too...    

 

I had originally planned to maybe buy a LSD conversion kit for the diff in my car, but then again, I don't use it that often, so it can wait...    

 

Since I freed up a bit of my budget... 

This one also joined the lineup.

It's for a good cause is my excuse.
