Bought the pdf of the latest expansion for Five Parsecs from Home: Fixer's Guidebook and after reading through it a bit. It has some cool things such as a new faction system that seems quite interesting indeed.

1x Space Marines: Spearhead Force
1x World Eaters: Exalted Of The Red Angel

Mwahahaha!

I Took the 1st step to bringing my Drukhari back up to 2k pts yesterday & bought the last box of Scourges in my area.

Assembly then proved annoying as Hell.
●1st, other than heat lance/Splinter cannon, I don't know Drukhari guns.
And the instructions don't lable them. Just giving the little picture & stat block on the last page. Wich isn't much help as the stats are from 8e (thank God for Whahapedia)
●2nd, unless I want all shard carbines, or wildly mismatched guns, there's only 1 of each upgrade gun on the sprues (heat lance, dark lance, etc)....
Grrr.

So my latest purchase turns out to be a bitz order, spread between several sellers as everyone seems to only have 1 copy of any given upgrade weapon listed.
Grrr x2.
I mean, all I wanted was +3 Splinter Cannon & an extra set of fethered wings....

On the + side I finally managed to come across a cheap enough pair of vintage metal Wraithlord legs!

The website used the resin masters to show them off, and the eventual product was really crap quality. The details were worse than the Moonscape craters, and if the resin masters were 4k, the actual product was 640x480.

Well my craters just turned up and wow. The quality of them is heinous compared to regular GW stuff. The details on them are fine, no issues there, but the plastic itself feels like something out of a cheap kids toy set and was not at all what I was expecting. Is this what all the chinese made stuff is like?
And if these craters are this bad then I can only imagine what the Planetstrike Blastscape quality was like then. They must have been dire.

It varies but the "soft" GW chinese plastic looks to me to be a mix of PVC and ABS, similar to Warmachine plastics, high end Bones, etc.

The Blastscape was vacuuformed HIPS, basically they lay a sheet of plastic over a sculpted crater and heat it up until it droops over the sculpt, taking its basic shape. Detail wise it's basically comparable to the reverse/inner side of normal models.

Even though I should know better, I grabbed two of the Votann Battleforce boxes. With discount it was $400 for both, and I know its a rare case of a deep GW discount and almost every unit in the boxes will get used.

After 10,000 years of waiting... a pack of 36 yellow/black pips opaque 12mm Chessex dice.

Pre-ordered legions imperialis plus baneblades + kratos tanks.

Bitz ordered a heavy Wraithcannon.

The local shop has a nicely discounted Wraith Knight sitting in the 2nd hand case I'm planning on picking up this weekend. But it's armed with sword/shield.

Bought a few assassin proxies from Etsy for my Grimdark Future Independent Inquisition list. I also bought some Tamiya weathering stuff and super glue.

Pre ordered LI and cards

Eldar support weapon and 28.5mm bases.

The support weapon is fantastic value for only £17, even without discount. I've had a Deathjester conversion for ages now, but it's base detail is slightly too big for the usual size of 25mm. Also managed to sculpt-patch a 6th model out of the Howling Banshees kit, and she's been yelling at me ever since for her own base...

Ordered the Necromunda Ash Wastes Outpost box.



... and also maybe 4 other boxes just like it...

While I picked up my Nids battle box at my LFGS (was already paid for), I also got myself Valerian and Aleya for my Custodes. Helped with a store voucher I won that paid most of it

Took advantage of the local shops Thanksgiving sale & finally bought a bunch of MCP Spiderman villain figures I'd been eyeing.

Now I'm just waiting on AMG to release Electro, Vulture, Sandman and (hopefully) Scorpion.

Limited edition AdMech codex.

Ordered the Necron and Mechanicus codexes, couple of unit boxes for LI and some paints.

new MK3 marines so I can have mixed squads with CSM and HH marines for my IW 40k army.

FedEx dropped off the latest Dystopian Wars starter (lovely American zeppelins!)

Also ordered a very cheap 10" tablet from Bezos specifically for accessing rules pdfs during gaming.

Does filing my pre-order with the shop for my Grotmas Gitz count?

Oh FLGS just pinged me, my Seraphon xmas box is ready for pickup.

Bought a few STLs of minis I made on Hero Forge. One for one of the kids who is a regular of my miniature gaming club. I also ordered 3d printing by a place down in Christchurch.

Bunch of fun new paints to try out and some new sable brushes.

I caved and picked up 4 old metal Harlequins (from eBay) to fill the missing spots from my gaming friends gift of old and some damaged Eldar models.

Cheers,

CB

I bought some of the more recent Bushido metals and was pleasantly surprised. Probably not getting into the game proper, but I'll use them as an excuse to build some feudal Japanese terrain.

Nabbed a cheap copy of Cursed City with full contents. My undead legions just got a bolster.

The Bolt Action rulebook and the Soviet Army book just arrived. Looking forward to playing!

My Ork Killrig finally came in at the shop.

I'd ordered it so long ago & then it never came & never came & never came that I'd forgotten about it!

The new Neutral Heroes box 3 for Song of Ice and Fire.

Arya sculpt is cool and the she has very good rules.

Also picked up the scimitar wielding Darkstar unit for my Martells. They look mediocre for 7 points, but sculpts were too good to pass up.

1x Necromunda: Ruins of Jardlan
1x Van Saar Ash Wastes Arachni-Rig
1x Van Saar Vehicle Cards

Again.

Because the first time I ordered this I got Porch Pirated. Thankfully the store refunded me for that.

Today's mailbag:

- A copy of Battle Masters

- LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring starter set from Games Workshop

- Bunch of old White Dwarfs and rulebooks
