Got some money for a birthday and have racked my brain for a month now trying to think of something I want. Ultimately I decide things are not worth the investment or something I won't get around to doing like starting a new 40k army. So, here's the question: If you had $150 to do with as you see fit, what would you buy?

**agnosto**

Put it in a savings account until something comes along that you can't live without (a new unit/codex for your army) or add to it over time and buy a titan or something.

**WarOne**

149 trips to the nudie bar.

1 Jr. Bacon Cheese Burger from Wendy's.

And for a real serious answer related to 40k, I would invest in some ork bits, build models from them, and sell them.

**MagickalMemories**

Malifaux!

**squilverine**

Stick it in the bank mate, if you blow it on stuff just for the sake of spending it you can guarantee that next month GW or FW will release something you actualy want!

If saving money isn't your thing then blow it on beer and a curry

**RiTides**

Don't ask me- I never carry cash, because I'll spend it almost instantly. Money "burns a hole in my pocket" and all that...

The above poster has some pretty good advice, though

**Ghost in the Darkness**

Put it in the bank till you can come up with something that you actually want. Or preorder a cool video game.

**JohnHwangDD**

2 gallons gas? $10
body massage? $60
"happy ending"? $80

posting about it on the Internet? PRICELESS!

**JSK-Fox**

More of my current army.
Seriously. That money goes out of my pocket and into the GWS cash register. It almost flies!

**Rymafyr**

LoL all good replies so far...but ya, I'll likely put it away until there is something that piques my interest.

**barlio**

Disclaimer: The following list is written with the view that the wife has no claim to stated funds and truly doesn't mind what I spend it on.

Day 1:
1. 6-pack of Fat Tire Ale $7
2. Lg pizza from Papa Johns $10
3. Movie rentals $8ish

Day 2:
4. $125 at the Warstore to fill out my most current army

**Joetaco**

you could always send me the money on paypal...

So your saying if he spends his money will it force GW/FW to make cool suff? I say take one for the team and blow it!

**Rymafyr**

Well, I've toyed with the following ideas:

GW Scenery and Terrain
Eldar since I've got bits and pieces already and an Exarch for nearly every type of troop.
Daemons since I got quite a few already for my CSM

**1-UP**

Tough call. $150 is enough bank to be considered serious cash, but it's not enough to buy *really* expensive stuff.

Sig indicates you've got plenty of armies. Terrain isn't a bad idea. Even if you build a board yourself the damn things seem to cost $80+ for materials. GW stuff only gets pricier faster. Nice part is you'll be able to use it for whatever.

**SlaveToDorkness**

MMmmm... Fat Tire Ale......

I would probably spend it on terrain. I usually build a table when not collecting an army. I am currently working up to making a Forgeworld terrain table (as in the table is a Forgeworld not made of resin by Forgeworld).

**sarge2037**

I would save it so that if I got more money I could buy something more expensive

**Darth Bob**

To be perfectly honest, if I had $150 to spend on models, without actually needing any models, I might be inclined to blow it on a big Forge World kit.

**chromedog**

Hooker and a couple of lines?

Better value than buying from GW, anyway.

At least you know you'll be screwed over.

Try crack whore and a couple of rocks.

Don't forget to save some money for the penicillin shots & AIDS testing afterwards, tho

**chromedog**

Didn't say what the lines were of.

Could be bleach, could be borax. If you were expecting coke for that, forget it. Ground FW is still cheaper.

**SlaveToDorkness**

Wait....I thought ground FW WAS crack?!!

:twitch:

I can't imagine what Borax would do if snorted... I've seen what it did to several colonies of ants in my yard....nasty stuff.

Go to feebay and snatch up some of that well earned MILF love that the little tykes don't want anymore, there is many a deal to be had.

Or

Look over on the swap forum here and see if theres something there that you might like.

Don't buy directly from GW right off the bat. You can do a heck of a lot better then the spweage that they sell to get you into the game.

Maybe a unit or two, but don't blow the whole wad on it all right away.

**Skarboy**

$150? You could probably get a couple hobos to fight to the death for a wad like that.

BUM FIGHT!
