My only wargaming related present was a Dark Elf Hydra, which is already painted and assembled!

It's not a matter of what the day brought to you but what you did with the day.

Perhaps you should come out of the hobby room and be a part of the civilized world and think more of others than yourself.

Some of you who have responded in this thread should be ashamed of yourselves.

Merry Christmas to those of you who got it right.

Don't forget to mention the stocking you filled with your ample smugness.

Hobby-wise I got a few things for my tomb kings: 2 boxes of warriors, a casket of souls, some movement trays and a chaos sorcerer (for a conversion).

Somebody's on a high horse. I haven't read every post in this thread to understand what drew out such a haughty lecture... but it certainly reeks of hindquarters and hats.

I'll be nice and quiet now, not one for bickering in text, but that just seems really out of left field.

Many nice things, but the top of them all was a high-end meerschaum pipe.

Awwww yiss.

Alright...only Hobby Related.

I got.

Dark Elves
Dark Elf Corsair box x2
Dreadsword box x2
Cold One Calvar box x2 (One old one new)
One Dread Lord on Cold one
One Sorceress on Cold one
Witch King on Dragon
Reaper Bolt Thrower x2

Empire:
Hurrincanum/.Luminark Box
Marius Liet Dorf

Bunch of paints, brushes and glue.

Quite unexpectedly got a Riptide and a Firestorm Redoubt from the GF. Was both a surprise and cool.

Also as a mini present to myself bought a NIB Gideon Lorr for myself for a very good price.

Also got a gift cert to the LGS which i'm currently still figuring out what i'm going to get with.

I'm glad i don't have any pompous people at my Christmas telling me, my six year old, or longtime girlfriend how to "do it right" and preaching at us not to be excited about the nice gifts our loved ones gave us (which, ya know, was the point of the thread, not giddyupping the high horse).

That said, your post made the ghosts of christmas past, present, and future golf clap, so there's that.


Also Chianti with Lasagna ? Interesting choice there, if it was, indeed a meal pairing. I'm assuming this was not just an opportunity to let everyone know just how evolved and civilized you are with your choice of red wine. If it was i probably would have gone with a Malbec myself. Newer, hipper, and you could get to say you drank it before it became cool (bonus hipster points if you deliver the ethical christmas lecture while drinking it).

For a lasagne, provided it was meat, and not ethical quorn muck, I'd have gone for a merlot meself. It'd sing with the cheese and the beef.

Got:

Storm Wing box set
Chaplain command squad set
Dark Vengeance

So...much...painting....

Elindiel, are you in Korea now? Purely out of interest how did you manage to get that stuff?

I got an opportunity to see my grandparents, which only happens on Christmas due to the distance involved which was great.

I also got 2 Iwata airbrushes and a RoB Table which was insanely unexpected but appreciated

Ravenwing knights, contempter dread body, a nephlim jetfighter and a GW cadian IG print framed. Also, I got to see my 6 month old niece.

Nothing wargamming related surprisingly, my biggest gifts were Amazon gift cards which I used to buy myself a WiiU and 3DS

Well was lucky to get a lot of geek goodness. Defiance season one dvd, 2 boxes of chaos raptors, box of chaos marines, squad of palatine blades, kromlech and max mini accessories and an xbox one
