On the 6th day of xmas my true loves brought for me:
- 1 Skaven Codex
- 1 Skaven Battation
- 1 Army Painter Rat fur brown primer
- 1 Army Painter Quickshade Strong
- 1 Army Painter Anti-Gloss Varnish
- 2 Army Painter brushes
and several other non-model related items...
Come on all, post your planned X-mas spoils here. I want at least 10 pages before xmas or my avatar of kirby will copy creed!

Hell I've currently got a whole battleforce to paint and I paint very slowly! So Im just asking for something cheap and fun to paint and play with such as a Special character, small vehicle or specialist squad. that isn't in my planned army list(Logan, Njal or Landspeeder methinks...).
So yeah, I'm not exactly demanding much xmas spoils, just something to motivate and enjoy playing and painting with...

- Roboute Guilliman
"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now."

We're having a present free christmas for everyone except the small children in the family (my nieces and nephews). So I don't expect anything really. I still haven't finished reading my sherlock holmes from last year and I've plenty to be painting so I don't mind.

This year's christmas will be a dvd- collection, modern warfare 2 (as long as it isn't banned around here  ) and the traditional givings: a book, some clothes, probably money (not much though! It's the gesture). As I already lack ideas for presents I'd like I don't expect too much.
Oh, one thing's important! A nice, heartwarming (don't laugh, that's really necessary) celebration.

Nice Impreza, Oni.
Anyway, I'm planning on getting:
- I have no idea for gifts (all I know is that my bro has bought me a load of Space Marine stuff, no idea what though)
I also plan on getting:
- Death Company
- Planetstrike Rulebook
- Imperial Strongpoint
- Terminator Squad
- FW Pre-Heresy Mk2B Land Raider
Not sure what else. I plan on trying to get my 1,400pt BA army to 3,000 if possible. Once all that's painted, I'll treat myself to a Warhound Titan

Ultimate gift? A free 2 minute dash through a GW warehouse. Keeping whatever I can fit in a trolley.
Realistically...
10x PAGKs, up to 3 w/ Psycannons.
2x Stormtrooper Boxes and maybe the heavy weapon blister to go with it.
That friggin' awesome Inquisitor model from FW.
A GK dread
1 Land Raider,
2 Rhinos....
That's probably about £300 there /cry
Oh, and lots of henchmen models.

The girlfriend asked what I wanted for Xmas, so I told her I could use a bag for my big 40k carrying case. So she is sewing me up a nice bag to offer some weather protection for my case, and a place to put books, dice etc.
I am thinking of starting an eldar army, so I might get myself a couple boxes of DAs, a couple serpents and a farseer to start it off on boxing day.
Otherwise the loot will be booze for me for Xmas - I'm a bit too old for toys

Nothing GW, except 'Titanicus' from Amazon. They've been annoying me too much recently, (on top of all the interweb stuff, there's pushy new manager at the local store).
In the new year though, I'm probably going to give in and buy the Fortress of Redemption, but at least it won't have contributed to their 4th quarter!

Enough models to bring my SM army from 1500 to 2000 points. That means Drop Pods out the wazoo, some troops choices, and a predator. Also, some bits to kitbash together some cool Independent Characters.

Don;t know if it matters, but most of the Boyz are 1 or two pieces in that kit. I had a similar plan for the Tac squad it comes with, but then I saw the sprues and was like, 'meh.'
Deffkopters look cool though.

I'm hoping for a few Chimeras, myself. As an Imperial Guard player, I can never have too many Chimeras.
I wrote down some of the cooler, more expensive kits on my wishlist, but I certainly don't expect them. The Fortress of Redemption is really interesting [as a former Dark Angel player], as is the Stormlord or Baneblade.

My Forces:
DA Consecrators- 2000 points' worth, currently shelved
Imperial Guard - about 2000 points' worth, soon to be expanded
Christmas Orks - 1750 points' worth |
