A pair of new sneakers...yay...

Actually, I did need them, but still...I miss being a kid at Christmas, the presents only get worse and worse. Like a cash see saw, the older you get, the more you pay and the less you get in return. The payoff is supposed to be the happy looks on faces of the kids in the extended familiy, but what have they done for me lately?!

As Homer once said in the Simpsons, 'Everytime I look into their cute smiling faces I just know that they are about to hit me with something.'

For my mini Christmas (having proper Christmas when I actually have time to head home to see family, the joys of retail!) I have received a SM Battleforce, Sgt Tellion, a box of DE Hellions and Lelith Hesperax to replace the one that was stolen t'other weekend (thieving gits!). Also as a Christmas treat to myself picked up a copy of Rogue Trader to add to Dark Heresy and Deathwatch, and Horus Rising on cd (mainly so I could listen to it in-store yesterday.

Merry Christmas to all from GW Durham!

I got, pretty much as my only gift, a very nice Testor's AC300 compressor for my airbrush.

Only downside is that it must have been damaged during shipping as the moisture trap/regulator assembly was screwed in to the body. Not the greatest idea ever when shipping, especially if it's something that extends a bit like that piece did.

But hey. I get to see if Testor's customer support is half-decent next week

I haven't actually GOTTEN any of it yet, but I'm fairly certain I'm getting....

Warhound Titan from the loving wifey

$120 or more to Hobbytown USA

I'm hoping there's more! Lots of family is out of town, so gift cards are likely.


I also bought some guard off ebay for myself, though they arrived much more damaged than I thought they should have.

Also purchased for myself a copy of Bayonetta [game]

Haven't gotten anything tabletop related, but I got $450 dollars in check form that is going towards the PAX: East convention in late March/early April. Hopefully a couple of you guys might be there and maybe I'll meet a couple fellow Dakkites at the warhammer tables! Probably bringing my Chaos Daemons again this year, hoping for another 2nd place or better!

Also, got Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions if we're including video games at all.

Absolutely nothing gaming related, my family considers 40K to be a kids hobby. Lame, I know. But my grandmother gave me a half gallon of SKYY vodka, and my parents bought me a new TOPS cigarette rolling machine. Seems odd to me that they won't buy me 40K stuff but they'll happily supply me with cigarettes and booze, go figure. LOL

My Gifts: Stompa, Battlewagon, Lootas, and Stormboyz. Non-gaming gifts include a Barnes and Noble gift card and grooming brushes for my dog... he's really fluffy and needs proper brushing!

Bought for myself: Big Forgeworld order - Grot Mega Tank, Looted Rhino, Grot Sponsons, Weathering powder set, Ork Glyphs, Ork etched brass

We had a cute little dusting of snow so the ground is all white. A fire is blazing in the fireplace. Egg nog is being poured and Prime Rib for dinner prepared. These last are my favorite parts of Christmas!

Lots of Dark Eldar Hellions, a Raider, and a Ravager.

More is to come on Thursday, my uncle promised to get me something at the FLGS.

Other than wargaming stuff I got a pair of red boxers for New Years (Italian tradition), Knack T-shirts, lottery tickets, and a random assortment of Hershey's brand candy.

I got a Sabol Motor Pool bag with extra foam trays, Flamers of Tzeentch, a plastic Daemon Prince, and the Omnibuses The Founding and The Saint.
Non-wargaming; a box set of DVDs about WW2, a book on major battles in history, another book on military history, and assorted candy.

Edit:
Almost forgot; money, a book on WW2, and ELO's album TIME.

Nothing war gaming related, although a sizable portion of the checks I got are probably going towards my habit. I did, however, get:

A heated mattress pad.
A mattress to put said heated mattress pad on.
A new set of sheets and comforter to put on said mattress.
A rather nice cast iron Japanese tea set.
Mulling spices.
A bottle of Sangria to put said mulling spices in.
A slow cooker to properly mull said Sangria.
A vacuum to clean up the inevitable mess I make trying to mull wine.
A lamp.
A 21.5" 1080p monitor.

I got very little in terms of "War gaming related" presents this year,basically due to the fact that the Missus couldn't readily pop into the FLGS and find Praetorians...so...in Games related items I got.

2 Commissars
A Cadian Command Squad (which will be converted heavily into a Praetorian Company Command)
A new set of brushes,which I desperately needed.
..and,best of all the "green light" to order more Praetorian minis.

I also got a new amp for my Bass guitars.
A new Pair of boots.
a gak ton of DvDs (mostly old horror films).
A Hickory Farms basket...most of which has been consumed.
A Bottle of Crown Royal...ditto.
And a new Jacket (Black MA-1 Flight)

I also "got" a HUGE amount of leftovers,despite having a half dozen of My Missus' Family dining with us,and each of them leaving with arm loads of foil wrapped goodies,we still have a refrigerator FULL of various tasty leftovers,including 3 gallons of Gumbo,half a Ham,several batches of Fudge and such and 2 Sweet Potato pies...life is good.

If it wasnt a 12-16 hour drive, I'd be on my way over to raid your fridge. :-)

The only hobby-related things I got were from myself:

60 1/4" x 1/8" rare earth magnets, plus some magnetic rubber for basing (with this I can finish magnetising my orc boys' bases and movement trays, thus making all my rank and file models are easy to transport - my night goblin horde and black orcs are already so-arranged).

Army Painter plate mail primer spray, quickshade soft tone and anti-shine spray, for my just-starting Gondorian army. Have just tried dipping my first model, and am not sure what I think of the results just yet; very happy with the sprays, though.

A unit of Warriors of Minas Tirith, and a unit of Gondorian Rangers - the first units of my aforementioned Gondorian army.

£30 of the above was paid for via relatives' Christmas money, and that's it for hobby stuff.

Otherwise, I received:

A bottle of Bombay Sapphire
Earphones from my wonderful girlfriend
And that's about it!

Dreadstone Blight - which is a lot bigger than I thought it was, nice detail (though overflowing with skulls of course) and quite easy to put together
Walls and Fences - sounds boring, but actually quite dynamic terrain pieces and also handy for soaking up the ridiculous amount of scenery (D6 + 4 pieces) you have to put on the table these days

EDIT - Got some Hobbycraft vouchers from the father-in-law so we can add Dwarf Warriors to the list (Hobbycraft doesn't sell Skaven )

Just one box of Space Wolfs pack in which it immediatly got converted into a Long Fangs squad and a Wolf Priest.

(hey hey now, don't give me that stink eye. I've got 2500 points of wolves and this is my first Long Fang squad.)

I also got a Logan Grimnar model which I will probably never use.

My 5 yr old got his own Tau Piranha in hopes that he will stop playing with mine.

My girlfriend surprised me with some much needed paint for my on-going terrain painting project and I also splurged and bought myself a box of Harlequins for my budding Dark Eldar army as well as another commissar for my Guard army (the commissar with the powerfist and inspirational book).

While not a Christmas purchase I also had a box show up from Garden Ninja Studios on the 23rd, so that felt like an early Christmas gift. I love having freshly painted minis grace my doorstep.

From myself: Battlefield BC2 and Vietnam (gotta love steam), Warmachine Cygnar Rangers (to finish off my 10 ratling squad), 6 pots of paint (mostly of colors in the older black topped pots just cause I hate the new ones), a hellhound, 2 chimeras.

Within the next week I hope to add in 2 blisters of plasma and meltagun stormtroopers. Then get it all painted for an apoc game at the FLGS

It's about $60 USD for the Infantry Company and $81 USD for the Artillery Group.

Hungarians are a really interesting faction, and they have some cool looking, domestically produced armor.

Dreadstone Blight and a Skyray from the family, as well as a $25 GW certificate, which went to the Battlewagon upgrade kit, and a pot of Desert Yellow. I plan on converting the Skyray into a Battlewagon with Deffrolla, as soon as I can pick up some magnets. I also gave my brother the new Dark Eldar codex, which he is enjoying very much. It replaces the old DE codex I got him last year.

A very good christmas, overall.
