As the title states, what have you been spending (or plan to spend in the short term) your gaming money of late - GW or otherwise? Feel free to discuss why you bought what you did, not just what you bought!
For me, my latest acquisitions have been threefold: I recently bought the Eldar SC. Ihave an old 2E/3E guest Eldar army, but no wraithguard and only the old metal dreadnoguht and (one) War Walker. I’m holding off on assembling the wraithguard until I feel confident I can magnetize them - I’d rather not have to buy a second or third set just for different weapon options.
Second item was a Mantic Forgefather force. I’ve always loved dwarves, but squats never interested me. The Mantic models, however, looked more in line in what I was looking for and purchasing it has got me interested in looking at their take on the 40K rules (and strongly considering giving it a go).
Third on the list was Curse of Strahd. I started my gaming life with D&D and had taken a haitus from it for a few years (to end up picking up on wargames and board games). My eldest son, who just turned 17, had recently brought over some friends he’d been DMing and had been talking up how good a DM I was to them, and talked me into running a D&D game. So I chose my favorite adventure, Ravenloft, to run them through. They’ve been enjoying it until Strahd led them into a trap and laid waste to the party. They were all flabergasted - they hadn’t expected the villian to come *after* them, and thought he’d be just like some video game end boss who’d be waiting for them at the end of the dungeon.

The majority of my hobby money has been going into Guild Ball
Besides being an excellent low model count game, the recent local burn out on both X-Wing and MTG means its pretty easy to get an opponent on club night as a fair number of people have picked it up
I've also been picking up and painting scenery for it as the suggested scenery rules mean the majority of 40k/AOS/WMH stuff is too chunky, and whilst my snow flocking to match my frozen pitch mat has been a bit variable I'm reasonably satisfied with it
Also been picking up Constructs for my Circle Orboros army, easy mode painting as they are more or less based scenery

Latest purchases have been various Custodes to add the new releases to my existing force and some Starfinder miniatures to represent the PCs in my game and make them standout a bit more from the pawns I use for NPCs and monsters.
Aside from Starfinder and 40K, I'm also playing in a 4e D&D campaign - but that doesn't require any new purchases.

I'm in a bit of a hobby slump these days due to work and all that, though that doesn't stop one from dumping money into the hobby. My most recent purchase is a Bombshell Miniatures Betty, really love the sculpt so no harm in owning it (again).
Though at some point she'll also need a plane to fly around in, either another Thunderbolt or a Lightning for the Auxilia fleet.

My most recent purchase is an Eldar Falcon. I bought it because I had at least two of each of the other non-FW grav tanks but only one Falcon, I saw one for sale in a local game store and it was cheaper than buying from GW directly (it's a webstore exclusive for some reason).
I also recently bought an Imperial Sector box together with some friends because it's cool terrain.
Before that I bought some Fire Dragons, Baharroth, Maugan Ra, Howling Banshees and an old Warlock second hand, all metal, plus a resin Spiritseer. I prefer metal over finecast, and they were reasonably cheap.

This thread has made me realise that almost everything I've bought so far this year has been theoretical!
I backed the Panzerfauste Spitfyre game on KS, which isn't due to fulfill for a while.
I also similarly backed the Highlander board game.
I've preordered the Ratcatchers and new strategy deck for Guild Ball to get the alt sculpt of the captain model, and I've back ordered the last model I need to finish off the Union faction.
Just about the only thing that's actually in existence is a set of tokens for my GB Morticians, and I only ordered them yesterday so I don't even have them yet.
Not to worry, the pile of shame remains spectacularly massive so I've plenty to be getting on with.

Nurgle stuff from GW
Feculent Gnarlmaw (spooky tree), great value although it's noticible it's a china rather than uk produced mini
Biologous Putrifier (I'm converting a fair most the characters rather than buying them but I really like this one)
Lord Felthius & the Tainted Cohort (I need more blightlords and this grinning easy build fool and his mates fit the bill)

Local store had its anniversary so I picked up a Primaris Captain with punchy bit as well as a primaris apothecary, chaplain, and librarian. Come Saturday I'll be getting a few leftover riever arms from someone in town, and will use them to kitbash a chapter master concept I've got rolling around in my head: a counts-as Pedro Kantor or a counts-as Lysander that can be justified in an otherwise 'primaris chapter' because he's been crippled and it temporarily getting by in a modified centurion warsuit.
They'll be a different kind of 40k project for me, reverse of what I usually do. I'll build and paint them completely before I buy another marine kit.
I'm leaning towards yellow livery with white or paper-ish shoulders and a black left arm.

My purchases in the last month (in reverse order) were-
A pre-order of Raven. Teen Titans in Batman are a pretty far below the curve at this point, due to a lack of selection and team rules having a negative drawback to counter their bonuses (Titans have by far the biggest drawbacks). Raven doesn't necessarily fix the biggest of these drawbacks, but gives the opponent a serious choice about what to deal with, and she can help shut down a crew that has 4-5 bodies over mine. She's also a great sculpt and puts us one step closer to the TV Titans roster (just need Beast Boy now) so that's a plus
Humvee from DishDash- This one is future proofing more than anything. BMG has vehicle rules, which are likely to be updated to 2nd edition at some point in the near future. The Humvee card I think will be great fun with Rick Flag, and when they arrive the Special Forces.
Iron Man Hulkbuster and Spider-Man- This is just finishing off a list I've had ideas for for a while, and I got the Hulkbuster super cheap so I decided to buy it for possible Marvel/DC crossover games
John Constantine, Zatanna, Jason Blood, Nightwing and the resin Commissioner Gordon starter- Catching up on releases for my Brave and the Bold, I now own everything I want from past releases. The magic guys may not see as much play in the near future, as they are a bit overpowered, but the cops especially will be making appearances in many of my lists going forward. Nightwing was a must because he is one of my favourite characters, and in game he is quite amazing (also for my Teen Titans alongside Raven)
Captain Cold, 2 of the prisoner sets and the Secret Society 3 pack (Black Manta, Professor Zoom and Killer Frost)- Started a new crew for Batman, based off of the Central City Rogues. I love all things Flash, so naturally the Rogues would be a crew I love. I'm yet to play them, but very excited to see how it goes
I also got the plastcraft prison set, but that was a birthday gift rather than a purchase for myself. I'll be using it for a Batman board, just need to finish building it. The pre-painted nature of it is really great, as I own a Knights of Dice board as well that is unpainted, but my prison is simple- build it and it's finished

I try to cut down a bit on my purchases. So far this year I only got myself a small supply drop of bits off eBay together with some DI Inceptors. Next up is going to be a box of Terminators for my Deathwatch army (which I am going to spruce up with some swapped/purchased BA/SW/DA bits as well as a pair of bionic legs from Anvil Industries for my Iron Hand Terminator), the model of Inquisitor Eisenhorn (together with the new book) and an Emperor's Champion as base for a conversion for my new Salamanders captain.
This should keep me covered for the next time, won't get anything else till these are built, yet I Already have plans for what to get further down the road (Dark Imperium for that sweet deal on Marines and some more tanks. But that is pretty far away still!)

Post by: Elbows
ChargerIIC, late reply - but yes the battle primer is the tiny 10-page PDF for free, but that only includes basic rules on how to play and doesn't include any of the information on:
-How to build your army
-Detachment types and CP bonuses
-Open War missions and special rules
-Narrative missions and special rules
-Matched play rules and missions
-Matched play tactical objective tables (the card deck, but in the book)
-Matched play deployment zones
-General rules for basic Warlord Traits and generic stratagems for use in the game, etc.
So the "rules of play" are not the only thing you'd want in a proper miniature rulebook. I was hoping the smaller starter boxes would have the above info but without the 150+ pages of fluff/narrative...nope.

Yes indeed!
It is shaping up to be a floating apartment complex/market place. I have the hull made and I am working on the docks and supporting structures which will hold the residences and attach to the sides of the ship. Right now it is a jumble of MDF and plasticard.

Haven't had the pleasure of trying it yet. Meeting with some friends next weekend to give it a shot, though!. The contents are gorgeous and the miniatures are pretty fun. A little on the heroic scale (big heads and hands) but otherwise look like they will paint up quite nicely!

My most recent purchases are a used Space Wolves Rhino and Stormfang from the used model bin at my FLGS. The Rhino has the Forge World SW doors on it, but wierdly it seems to have started life as a Chaos Rhino based on the fact that there are stumps of spikes and a demon-faced shoulder pad on the gunner.
Also recent, I purchased a Tau bits lot on eBay for $20. When it gets here, I'll see what all is there, but I know from the pics that there are enough parts to make a few drones and even some more Fire Warriors, plus battlesuit weapons, hence why I grabbed it.

Last hobby purchase would be an Army Painter tank brush at the weekend - I have an AT-ST to paint, after all.

x2 containment tanks - never know when those will go out of print! Plus, they will look awesome.
Custodes Shield Captain - he's a pretty one.
Set of instant death and melta spears - gotta collect them all.
Burning of Prospero - needed more Custodes. Marines always sell well.
Forgebane - after selling everything but the Knights, I will end up having both Knights for free

I picked up the Fallen Frontiers starter from the Scale 75 US shop; it and the rest of the FF stuff they still have is on sale there right now in the Deal Bin. The base game was $60 instead of $100...
I know the game is going nowhere, but they are nice minis, and the game is alright, too. I know Scale 75 has a bad rep for the way they've handled some things on their Kickstarters, and so on. But I got good service from their shopify store this time.

I've been trying to reduce my spending while I work through some of my backlog. I tried to resist Eisenhorn, I really did. On release day, the FLGS I usually web order from went out of stock, GW's website went out of stock and I thought I was good. Then I checked the website of the FLGS near me - and saw that they still had several.
So the next day I just had to go in and buy him - and ended up picking up a Falcon and a Wave Serpent while I was there. Nice resolve to not buy anything, that.
In the few weeks since then I've managed to resist buying more models, though I did end up buying about 15 Vallejo paints in a store that had them on offer.

After two months of moderate spending, I finally had an afternoon off on Friday to visit the FLGS and pick up stuff he was holding for me. White Dwarf January to March, codex: Adeptus Custodes and Chapter Approved 2017. I was also hoping to pick up Forgebane, but well.. his sales rep from GW is being difficult again, with no telling when he'll be getting them.
Also wound up visiting the local GW store and picking up a Sly Marbo and box of Black Library postcards, the stuff my FLGS can't or won't stock, so no sour looks.
Last night after a day of deliberation I decided to cave and order Forgebane, along with Titan's Bane, a box of Ogryn and 40mm bases directly from GW with express shipping, so it should be here on Wednesday.
That should be me, until the Imperial Knight codex and assorted kits go up for pre-order.

I am drowning in miniatures!
Just painted up some of the items I'd bought recently 3 (commander) not-Tau Crisis Suits, 3 Panzer IV's, an e-bay Tau Devilfish and an Eldar War Walker from my SC Eldar box (I'm still too frightened to put the Wraithguard together, magnetized). At the least, my ENTIRE Tau army is (was) painted now!
To celebrate, I bought a SC Tau box, Forgebane, a Pac 38 & Pac 40, a King Tiger and a M8 Priest for Bolt Action, as well as half a dozen 1/100 tanks for Tanks! I guess I don't learn...
As an aside, my brother just got in Rising Sun (the store ordered a KS copy and he bought it), and it's a damn gorgeous game and helluva fun to boot.
Also, Black Reach should be releasing soon, been waiting on it since January. At least I don't have to paint it...

Over the weekend, I bought Rick Flag for my Brave and the Bold crew, so I now have everything I want for that crew, until new releases arrive. My other crew, the Central City Rogues (ran as a Mr Freeze crew led by Captain Cold), I only really want one more box (the Suicide Squad 3 pack) so Batman spending is down pretty low. Malifaux, on the other hand, are coming out with a few new models that I really want for my crews. The Easter special Viktorias are going to replace my current ones, as they're gorgeous, and upcoming releases contain Marlena Webster and the Freikorps Engineer, both of which are vital to some of my lists (Marlena for Viks and Misaki, Engineer for Von Schill)

After spring break home with the kids, I lost all willpower available to me and went on a shopping spree.
Bought three warbands for Shadespire. I initially played the game and didn't care for it very much. I gave it another chance after Adepticon basically announced a second season. Turns out that it still isn't what I wanted, but I do actually really like what it is. Expectations can really cloud your opinions sometimes. With my wife also liking the game, it seemed like a perfect excuse to get some more warbands. I've been wanting to paint some Ironjawz and Fyreslayers since forever.
With Runewars all but dead, the prices are at rock bottom, and I couldn't resist picking up two Uthuk Y'llan army boxes, and a few unit boxes. The game may be dying, but I've got a new army to play and I'm looking forward to it. I also use the figures to keep me painting. Sometimes, I get intimidated by a fancy new model and I get stuck. It helps to have some mediocre models that don't require a big effort to paint, just to keep moving. I've also been using them for experimentation, and thanks to them, I now have a better appreciation of colored spray primers and wet palettes.
Finally, I got a really good deal on the Dark Souls board game. It got a lot of hate online, but the miniatures are neat and the deal was too tempting. Haven't finished a full run yet, but I really like the programmed movement and boss fights. My 9 year old daughter is a HUGE fan of Bloodborne (please don't confiscate my "Father of the Year" award), so I'm hoping I can convince her to play Dark Souls with me.

I also got some tomb swarms off ebay for my Tomb Kings. There was a shipping mistake as well and I ended up getting a free Tesseract Vault NIB. I tried to do the right thing and return it but shipping would've cost the guy more than the kit. I'm happy with the free model, but I think it's an ugly kit.

Went to a gaming convention recently that had a bring and buy.
I bought:
- A Warlords resin "Police Box" (28mm) now to find the favored Doctor.
- A bunch of IG/AM heavy weapon teams (3 LC, 3 AC) that were reasonably assembled.
- AD&D Ruins of Myth Drannor module for... research for 5e adaptation.
- A ton of lasercut HDF (25mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm) disks and hexes (B-tech / RRT).
- Dice, 2 RPG sets (1 huge, think D20 is 2" across) and a dice tower.
- The starter Scions 40k box set.
It was a bit of a strange collection but it appears my children have fully embraced their inner geeks and I am being pulled in 3 different directions in hobby madness.
May have to buy another starter set before my youngest son paints another "classic" BT marine yellow and green with the cross molded on... those add-on kits are expensive.

Not really dipped in to too much gw for the last few years but damn after that trip it’s got me gripped again. Oh and grabbed to coins while there too.

A slightly painful £16, although it should stretch some way and I also got a free FW catalogue, so I can continue to tempt myself with Necromunda (know my resistance is going to crumble eventually..). Also got some old Khorne/Chaos decals for a much more reasonable £5 off the 'Bay, going to mix in a few of these with the 'loyalist' World Eater decals to show that the Legion has just started on the dark path..
Finally got a good amount of 6mm scale Dreadnoughts, Hop-Splat and Zzzapp guns for my Epic Bad Moons for a ridiculously low price, again off Ebay.

Well, I just started my journey into Kings of War. I spent a few months deciding on what to get for an army, but decided on playing Mongols from the historics rulebook since that also allows me to use some "mythic" elements like giants and wizards as well. I bought the rulebook a few days ago, and bought the first model for the army today.
I bought the model I will be using as my incarnation of the Mongolian god of war (Daichin Tengri)(my Giant), since it will be coming from Italy and is the single most expensive model in the army. It really wasn't too expensive for a 75mm metal model (45 USD converted), but the shipping was half as expensive as the model itself (27 Euros). Still, totally worth it.
I thought it would be fun to build a Mongol army that also has a wizard (will be used as a Mongol shaman), to incorporate some more of the Mongolion mythology and mysticism into an army that will mainly be fighting KoW Fantasy armies. But, here are some pictures of the model (from the Pegaso Models website). I am probably going to have to green stuff the areas where the bow and quiver mount to the model since KoW giants don't have ranged attacks.

I was planning to wait, but ended up picking up Star Wars Legion today. It llooks like the (Bandai) AT-ST model I picked up a few weeks ago is about the right size (1/48) for this game, so I might use it.
Also picked up a really cheap copy of Betrayal At Calth for my son - cheaper than an SC box - he's in the midst of Chaosifying the models.

My wife got me another Necron half of the Forgebane box. She wanted to get me a Triumvirate of the Imperium box too but I told her to hold off. My pile of unpainted stuff is getting to be too big. I think my next purchase is an airbrush. Even if I just do the base coat, it would save a ton of time. Also base coating is the most boring part of painting, but if you do a bad job it ruins the model.

My Kickstarter pledge for the Rhino Cavalry arrived a couple days ago, so they're the next project for me - though I might need to grab another Scrap Launcher when it hits the store. I'm really hoping Blackgate's next project will be not-Skaven, since they're the only Warmaster army that you can't find or proxy miniatures for. Also, it's not a purchase at the moment, but Lucid Eye Miniatures put up their pre-orders for The Red Book of the Elf King and it's tempting. The game's background and mechanics sound interesting, the rules are by Rick Priestly, and the miniatures look amazing.

NH Gunsmith wrote:Well, I just started my journey into Kings of War. I spent a few months deciding on what to get for an army, but decided on playing Mongols from the historics rulebook since that also allows me to use some "mythic" elements like giants and wizards as well. I bought the rulebook a few days ago, and bought the first model for the army today.
I bought the model I will be using as my incarnation of the Mongolian god of war (Daichin Tengri)(my Giant), since it will be coming from Italy and is the single most expensive model in the army. It really wasn't too expensive for a 75mm metal model (45 USD converted), but the shipping was half as expensive as the model itself (27 Euros). Still, totally worth it.
I thought it would be fun to build a Mongol army that also has a wizard (will be used as a Mongol shaman), to incorporate some more of the Mongolion mythology and mysticism into an army that will mainly be fighting KoW Fantasy armies. But, here are some pictures of the model (from the Pegaso Models website). I am probably going to have to green stuff the areas where the bow and quiver mount to the model since KoW giants don't have ranged attacks.
Please tell me you have a hobby blog where I can follow your mongol kow armies progress because it sounds awesome
