Alot of hobby shops had after Thanksgiving sales that are to kill for. I picked up 5 Aegis Defense Lines and 3 Bastions for $100 at a hobby shop in Vestal, NY when I was visiting.

I got the Assault on Black Reach and two Gundam Kits from my Japanese friends who thought that 40K was a miniature version of Gundam. I got a 1/144th Zaku Rick Dom II - a street fighting Mobile Suit with a Panzer Faust and 90mm Machine Gun and a 1/100th Zaku II F2 Desert Mobile Suit that my buddy ordered off of the internet.

My wife and I exchange gifts on Christmas Eve. I didn't get anything GW, but, I did get something that's semi-game related...

A homebrew setup. Because nothing makes a game better than a beer. And now I'll be making my own.

I gifted myself a 2250pt Lizardmen Army - list is in the WHFB List forum.

I knew the wife was getting me CoD - Modern Warfare 2, then she dropped a heavy ass box on me and said, "Here you go!"

It was the 72 paint Vallejo Model Colors set.

A tear almost developed in my eye.

I didn't receive (and will not be getting) any GW stuff for X-mas. I did get myself a Festivus gift - Firestorm Armada and 2 fleets. It's 1AM here so I still have a few hours before I can open the gifts under the tree from my wife. I'm pretty sure it's mostly PS3 stuff and some books I want.

A new watch, a new stove, a new microwave, a dustbuster, and a Rohan army.

Thank God I have a Lowe's card and a wife that likes to game/cook.

Now I just have to paint her army.

Methinks there was a motive behind the paints.

Didn't get nowt gaming wise.

I live 500 miles away from my family, and am spending Christmas on my own (well, until 7:30, when I arrive at Giada's for a party and hopefully a leg over). Which is kind of nice, as as much as I love my folks, Christmas with them is a pain in the arse, and this way I get sent cash rather than presents. So I bought a bunch of DVDs.

But I did get myself a load of Nid stuff on order. 2 Trygons, 3 boxes of Raveners, 1 box of Gargoyles, Codex, and picked up the Battleforce as well.

My wife once used a packet of rice sprinkles which was about a year out of date because she didn't want to waste it (they cost about 10 pence.) She got the worst food poisoning ever. Still, it's good for weight loss, I supposed.

See the pen I got at least had a context. My grand father always gives the worst gifts because he is the biggest tight-arse in the world. I once got one of those in-flight toiletry kits for Christmas - you know the ones you get in planes with the fold-away toothbush and eye mask, yeah? One of those - amongst other gifts. With him stuck in Switzerland this year we had my first ever Christmas without him, so we decided to keep the spirit of him alive in our homes and give each other some really terrible gifts.

I got my parents some squishy toys that I got at work (for free), gave them Christmas cards I got at work (for free) and used someone else's pen to write the Christmas cards (and got the wrapping paper from my Mum - so the gift actually cost her more than it did me). I got a pen (that was lying around in their house), two squishy balls that they had lying around, a grotesque combined shoe-horn/back scratcher and some sort of dust cover which my Mum wasn't even sure what it was when she bought it.

And as they say, it's the thought that counts.

@HBMC: My fiancee's grandad is like that. Gave her one of those wind-up flashlights a few years back, for example. She's right sweet and said it's the sort of thing that could come in handy (total rubbish) but I somehow doubt I could get away with giving her anything so terrible as that. In related news, her traditional gift to me is a renewed subscription to WD.

Edit: Sorry to hear about others not having a great X-mas, i use to have those when i moved out on my own out east for the first few years, so i know the ache of it.

My Wife and my Mum never get me any GW stuff last time I got GW stuff was Christmas 2007 and that was swapped by New Years Eve for Tyranids to supplement my then HUGE army.

This year I decided to however buy myself some hobby stuff.

So I went kinda crazy

I bought


Skaven Battalion
Devestator Squad
Tactical Squad
Commander
Robed Vets to become Sternguard unit 2

So id say that made up for the intercening years!

But yeah. We just opened presents at the Risley Family Home. Got the remaining stuff to wrap out the Cadian 82nd 'Strike' Detachment.

3x Kasrkin boxes, 6x Kasrkin Special Weapons blisters(Mmmm. Plasma and Meltas) and Valkyries for the Kasrkin/Grenadier Vets.
3x Chimeras to round out the mechanized platoon.
6x Sentinels. Because Sentinels are fluffy and I hate the idea of running nothing but Valkyries/Vendettas as Fast Attack.

And some surprises in the form of a Fortress of Redemption and...EVEN MORE BASTIONS AND AEGIS DEFENSE LINES FOR MY KASR TABLE! Woot!

No GW for me either, which, I'm pretty happy about too.

I mean, I can't trust my folks to get a plain red woollen scarf, so what chance that they could find the single dark reaper blister in a GW shop swarming with punters! Also, the GF refuses point-blank to entertain spending money on GW products. - Maybe this is the year I should listen to her! - Nah...

I'm more than happy with my usual sock/jumper/weird aftershaves thankyouverymuch!

Right back to it... Enjoy one and all!

I gave my brother a Drop Pod and a Rhino for his Blood Angels, as well as a few pre-owned Dark Eldar jetbikes for him to practice his painting on [he'll be getting a whole bunch more DE stuff for his birthday soon].

All in all, a very nice Christmas this year.

Its not always great to get wargaming stuff... especially if your in school... It sucks when you get off break and people asked what you got... Oh I got a $400 Dollar model... Yeah that doesnt go over well... So I usually try to get 50% wargaming and 50% non wargaming and I just leave the wargaming part out when asked

- A Can of Rat fur Primer
- A Paint can of Army painter Quickshade (strong)
- A anti-gloss varnish primer

And today i hopefuly can grab a box of plauge monks from the near-by games workshop (promply a hour away, figures)

Also hopefuly later this year i can load out on more retribution of scryra troops. Vross and his gang are rather lonely... I think adaptius rhan and some battle mages will go nicely with the dawnguard force i have.

- Space Marine Command Squad (using as BA Honour Guard for a non-jump packing Captain)
- Space Marine Combat Squad (wtf Tactical Squads were sold out)

Also ordered:
- Blood Angels Honour Guard (Dante needs bodyguards)
- Death Company (5-man set)
- Jump Pack Chaplain (to convert slightly and use as a 'Counts As' Lemartes)

Still debating on whether to splurge on a FW order

What's amusing is that before Christmas I had around 1600 points or so. Once I've finished building/painting, I'll have 3200.

Grey Knight Terminators
Ushtabi Vultures (2) (for Daemon Princes, thank you Redbeard for the idea)

also got $100 cash, which may become the beginnings of a WoC or Empire army.

On Sunday, I'll get stuff from the majority of my family.

At least your family buys you wargaming stuff.


Yes I am lucky.. My sister lives about four hours away and has a great shop in the area where she lives, I always try to stop in there when I visit her. But she doesn't have a clue what any of my games are and relay heavily on the clerks of the store. That can be a good and bad thing. I should learn to always include a picture of the stuff I am wanting.
When I am there in the game shop with her I try to keep a low key of what I know about the games, Sorry folks I don't look like a gamer; but she has a bad tendency to talk smack to the gamers at the tables about how good of player I am. I am not.. But she thinks I am, just because I can beat her at board games over the holidays.

I got a lot of money, but most of it is going towards my saving for next summester's costs (some books, supplies, food, vodka), but I did get a $100 prepaid visa, which'll be used for miniatures.

Of that, I've ordered the CMON limited edition Lich King, Gamezone Venerable Thaumaturge, Gamezone Mournful Knight Musician(to go with the standard bearer I ordered earlier), and Vallejo Dark Sea Grey.

I also have a Gamezone Mournful Knight Standard Bearer, 4 Zombie Wolves, and Leonara from an earlier order, which should be in my mailbox by time I get back to Lethbridge.

Lastly, I bought some Hordes stuff back at Sentrybox. They're all painted up, and will have pics in due time.

This'll be a no-GW Xmas for me. I did get some wood elf models (blister of 3 waywatchers and a hero) to paint, but they were on clearance (pretty much $50 off), and my LHS won't be stocking GW anymore. Loop-hole on that regard.

What do you do with these 'stuffed animals?'

Are you supposed to glue them? Or paint them? I've never heard of such a thing. What's they're statline? Are they apocalypse only?

If you ask me, they sound very heretical...

I got the gw mega paint set (which is a good thing for me) which i ended up sorting out into something that looked a little more organised (no labels to be seen on the citadel clolour range paints (black tops) and i think it was in alphabetical order but it didnt look very organised.)

Then I got some Warhams.

I have a quick question: One of the things I got was one of the OOP Chaos Terminators from 3rd edition. Unfortunately, it is missing its head. Can I call up GW and let them know, or am I screwed?

15ish years in this hobby and I've never ever ever gotten a single model for xmas. My family always gets my cloths, friends get me gift cards. This year though, I told people not to get me cloths since I'm low carbing and losing weight and nothing they get will fit. Worked really good (I recommend that tactic if you don't want cloths for xmas).

I ended up with Brutal Legend for PS3 which is probably the first game ever to be made out of 112% pure unadulterated awesome.. and I got Up, Rattatouie and Monsters Inc on Blu Ray, a $50 best buy card that I spent on Transformers 2 & Terminator 4 on blu ray, and another $150 in my pocket waiting to be spent and will probably go toward a new video card for my PC.

One aunt didn't listen and got me a shirt, she thought she could be crafty and get me one that's too small thinking since I'm losing weight I'll shrink into it. Can't win em all I guess.
