Had a bit of a splurge today.

A little while ago I learnt that Privateer Press was discontinuing all their pre-Mark 4 minis, so I had a good look to see if there was anything I wanted before they disappeared forever, but they didn't do Paypal, so I had to wait until I had the monies (My credit card doesn't always work for online shopping these days), luckily I only missed out on a couple minis (And none of the important ones):-

 

Caine's Hellslingers,

Devil's Mutineers,

Ashlynn d'Elyse,

Major Haley,

Lukas di Morray,

Skarre,

Captain Rahera,

Colbie Stirling,

The Death Wolves,

Brighid and Caul,

Una the Falconer.

I almost totally forgot about this, and I may have a "problem," as I purchased a Genestealer Cult Boarding Patrol. 

 

That adds another 15 non characters,  and two more characters that I already had. The Cult gross stronger! 

 

Just need one more Combat Patrol... and to get painting again!

Received the 2 minis for ReaperCon + some Reaper Bones: Arachnid Archer (77182) & the melee version (x2) from GB today. Damn, I love fast USPS service from them! I recall why I never picked up the Arachnids in metal, as they are on the small side of a large mini. The Wizkids Drider is a bit on the large side of large, so who knows which I'll use but for now, I'm not worried as my Weds players will be awhile till they run into some drow slavers & their slave mines.

 

Also picked up the last bottle to complete the entire line up of Contrasts (Terradon Turquoise) at the FLGS. I didn't realize it was a original pre-'22 release. Also have a couple of '22 colors coming (Leviathon Purple & the new Magenta color). Figures, get these after I get most of the minis painted for RCon, ha ha.

So work is clearing out all summer stuff right now (50% off clearance) as well it needs the room for fall/Halloween, etc etc, so I asked my wife if she wanted to go half with a bbq grill. In 2017 when the area got nailed by "Snowpocolypse" that winter, our charcoal grill got crushed by sliding snow off the roof, as it snapped off the side table & bashed in the doom of the grill. I told her the GM dept employee (who I've come to like & he likes me) was willing to give an extra $10 bucks off whatever grill I wanted. She said yah & she picked out the one she liked, So picked up this one Friday morning & brought it home.

It's small, but according to their website, you can grill 10 burgers in it, so hey that works for us. Total price with our employee discount & the "wobbly wheel" issue was around $75.00 dollars, so great price & happy to have a grill again.

 

Thou looking at their site for a cover & some other acc, I noticed how much the store marks these up thou, jeesh. I still got a good discount, but not as big as what it appears to be.

Prices of Legion stuff are continuing to increase, unfortunately.  I need a cost of living increase in line with minis pricing increases......

 

 

wow, that's a load of furry creatures.  Agree on the prices though...  Found a reasonably priced box of OG stormtroopers at a store in Alberta (I'm in Ontario) last week which I picked up.  I know there are a few more cards in the new one, but the old box for the AT-ST was way cheaper.  💸

I'm curious, how are you doing the unit breakdown for the warriors? 3 spear and one sling, or some other set up?

Gotta love it when 2 seperate orders come in on the same day, Blick & Burbank Hobbies.

 

Blick:

Sta-New brush holder. The bigger slots are kinda useless but overall appears to be useful.

 

Paint Puck - I thought this one was bigger then the one I have, buy I guess this is the regular size. Helpful little item.

 

Sharpie chisel tips & black bullet tip - RCON map making. The bullet marker is dented on the end. Annoying, but not enough to complain about it to them.

 

Burbank:

KS Metals Stainless steel sheet - will go under my RCON entry (magnetized).

 

Evergreen polystyrene sheet -sidewalk. Pretty much graph paper, going to use this to make a cheater sheet for Speedpaints 2.0.

 

BSI - tips & CA fine tips. Local hobby store is out of these, so figure just stock up with this order

I actually went 2 and 2, but I'm printing out a bunch of extra spear guys from some Ewok STLs I got a year or so ago.  There are also bow guys in there to proxy for the slingers.

I'll see how they play and decide if I need to buy even more Ewoks later.

 

Today I was in to the FLGS to hang to while waiting for the kid to finish physio (he dislocated his shoulder again a week or so ago).

They had some new sanding sticks in.

And tonight when I went to pack my laptop bag, I remembered I picked this up last week when I was in.

They got in one of the Evas I was missing.  Just the 03 and 08 left to get.

Grumble...

Between ordering and shipping out, they ran out of Skarre's (Disappointing) and the Ashlynn d'Elyse, Queens Blade sets (The main thing I wanted).

Wish they had let me know before they sent them out, I probably would've cancelled my order.

Hearing things like this & reading about other issues with PP, I wonder how much longer they've got as a company.
