Last night I finally gave in & replaced my AoS 3e core rulebook.
My original has been missing for 3+ weeks & in that time I've looked everywhere for it.

Of course now that I've spent that $$ & torn the shrink wrap off, the original will surely turn up.....

I rounded out my 15mm Greeks.

With the addition of companion cavalry, elephants and the most ubiquitous mercenaries (Thracians, Galatians and Skythians) I now have what I need to field Greeks from a 650 BC hoplite army all the way through to 63 BC with Late Seleucids.
Only once I have painted them though.

I still need to round out my Classical Indians to play the all the options though.

My most recent game purchase was Persian Gulf, Third World War Game 4 by Game Designers Workshop.

I've been wanting this for a long time...like since 1986. So, nice to have it at last.

In miniatures world, I picked up more plastic and glue to continue making Chaos Rhinos for my 2nd ed. army. Bought some Noise Marines on Ebay to that end. I have a thing for buying lots with broken models. They're cheap, and with 25+ years of bits lying around, replacement parts aren't an issue.

Presumably their ground game is superb, especially in rainy weather.

Yessir!

Nobody admitting their Black Fridays sins, huh?

I got 4 more Dystopian Wars factions, Rohan Battlehost nad a couple Deimos Predators

I've tried to be good this year - though I did pick up a bottle of resin and some resin filters since I'd basically run out of both and 3D jake had a bit of a discount.

Otherwise its been a bit of a kickstarter season for me - at least 2 6-8mm model campaigns (one done and Lazy Forger has one next month) and Draco Studios doing a huge book of lore and dragon stuff.


So that hasn't really left much to be tempted by that I can afford.

Cadia Stands box.

You get 3d jake up there with no customs? Nice. They had 14€ PLA of a brand I haven't tried yet so I got some gray and brown.

A Japanese tankette from Bolt Action & some bitz to turn it into a Grot Tank.

I picked up a while back some PSC 15mm Mortem et Gloriam romans and another army. What manufacturer did you get?

Old Glory 15's. They paint up nicely.

I'm remarkably good at the moment. Haven't bought anything since I wrapped up my Warmachine Mk4 armies. Nothing at the moment I want to spend time painting. I'm sure that will change soon.

Zombiesmith had a sale so I picked up a couple of Quar 28mm skirmish starters.

Bought an STL for a Vampirella model I plan on having these people 3d print here in NZ and paint it as a present for my dad as he was a big fan of the comic when he was young. She's pretty large so it'll be an interesting challenge indeed.

Of late...

40K Eldar Autarch £16
40K Eldar Warwalker £20
AOS Nighthaunt Spirit Hosts £13
AK "Multifunction bar tool for putty" £4.50
AK "Terrains Desert Sand Acrylic". £8.95

...with more to come no doubt!

Bought several boxes of ASOIAF stuff.

Mostly doubling up on units I love the sculpts for like Riders of Highgarden and Baratheon King's Men. Value for this game is insane.

Also picked up some Ogroid Theridons.

Rules wise, I got three skirmish game texts: Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago, Stargrave, and Five Parsecs from home. I was also very tempted by Enderrain, but I missed the discount period, so I decided 3 rulesets were plenty of reading for now.

Model-wise, I fed my recent, nostalgia-induced hunger for metal miniatures on a number of holiday sales from small companies.

A pair of the X-mas Imperial Fist battleforces (for the Heavy Intercessors; I've already sold the Aggressors!) plus the Escher vehicle cards.

A bunch of misc bitz to refurbish some ancient (2e/3e era) squads of Death Guard I inherited a few years back.
Some arms, bolters, backpacks, & a handful of shoulder pads.
None of the modern bells & whistles, just the essentials to get the models/squads complete/playable.

I bought some more Scale 75 skin paints (I really like their paints more and more) and Some Mantic Sci-Fi Terrain Crate stuff like doors and screens and such.

I haven't bought it, but I'm considering purchasing some Bolt Action boxes to use as proxies for my Angaran Chronicles TT Skirmish game (as the continent of Angara is in a similar time as our 1940s). Are Bolt action minis good? I might have to convert a few to look like elves and such, lol

Preordered Osgiliath and all 4 MESBG dice sets.

Sphiranx and Crusher.

Not 20% off like the old days, but then GW went and repackaged them without the rules, but for a higher price, and direct only.

Thanks GW!

While doing some Christmas shopping I came across a # of cheap 1/50 scale die-cast trucks - tow trucks, fire trucks, modern SUVs, classic 50s style definitely-not-Chevys....

So I picked up long bed dump & one of the not-Chevys.
Soon my Grots will have 2 new trucks.
$20 well spent.

The not-Chevy will definitely be a ride (it's too cool not to be)
The dump will technically be assigned to the MegaArmor Warboss. But he'll never ride in it & it'll be modeled full of scrap/loot/bitz. It's more for army theme than practical use.
And since I rarely play Nephlim I don't have to worry about starting the WL mounted in it. Not sure where the pts for it will come from though....

Whirlwind Scorpius and the new Kill Team cards for me. Probably the last mini related purchases for me this year, unless those beakie Ultramarine resin heads get released..

Some more scale 75 paint in tubes and some Abaddon Black and Aveland Sunset as they're running out, most importantly I bought some 25-millimetre scenic city bases from Infinity as 25 millimetre GW Zone Mortalis bases are impossible to find here in New Zealand right now and after playing quite a bit of Space Station Zero and using Mantic terrain a lot 25mm seems more practical than 32mm bases lol

Frustation with brush care led to the purchase of a tub of soap called "The Masters" Brush Cleaner & Preserver. It seems to be working, although I've yet to test it on two new fine-detail brushes so we'll see how it goes...

Also decided to give the AK acrylic paint range a try and I like them. Thumbs up.

Bit of retail therapy in Ipswich this afternoon, in Craftability...

I really need to get down and check out Langden sometime. I've used the GW in Ipswich for years on and off, but never checked out Langden. Just a pain that its a good 50mins by car or 1hour by train to get there.
