I have all the Codex Space Marines I will ever play. 8000 points or so.
I have 4000 points of Eldar that lose every time the touch ground.
I have 2000 points of Speed Freak orks in the box.
I have about 3000 points of Tau still in the box as well.

I just finished making a ton of terrain, and reworked my carry cases so I don't need storage.

I own new codexes for everything I think, plus Apoc, Reload, and IA Apoc and Apoc 2.

My group plays 2k to 3k point games plus Apocalypse games at high point levels, 20,000 per side last week.

What should I do with this $100 that fell in my lap tonight?

**SlaveToDorkness**

Sounds like you have the hobby stuff covered....

Lap Dance?

**Vindicator#9**

Buy your wife something nice with it as you have more or less everything you need for 40k it seems. I say this because i think it is a trick!

**LunaHound**

Spend $30 on yourself , and $70 on her.

She'll be very happy and probably give you more money int the future.

**themocaw**

Buy yourself a nice night out on the town with the missus.

**Lycaeus Wrex**

Another shout for buying something for your wife. She'd appreciate it much more seeiing as you aren't 'supposed' to be spending the cash on her.

Maybe get her and one of her friends one of those 'spa' days that a lot of health clubs offer? Women love being pampered!

**Karosok**

It's a trap! Do something romantic for her!

**Skinnattittar**

Buy me a Baneblade....

But in all seriousness

Spend more on her than yourself.

**Iron_Chaos_Brute**

Spend. On. Wife.

**Vepr**

Good to see there are just as many wusses over here as there are on Warseer.

**Gwar!**

Buy the misses a waffle iron or a toasty sandwich maker. Hopefully she gets the hint, and makes you waffles/sandwiches!

But yes, I agree:

**micahaphone**

Do you have children? if so,
*cough* MOTHER'S DAY*cough*.
If not, it is a trap. Spend it on something both of you like. (i.e., night on town, ect)

**Inquisitor_Syphonious**

You should... buy... 100...

BALLOONS!!!!

It's not a question of courage, it is a question of tactics. Your enemy has provided you with an opportunity for your benefit, it would be wise to consider it a trap while not simply abandoning a chance to profit. So if it is a trap, turn her ambush into your spearhead, to infiltrate her bedspread, catching her unawares of your romantic charms.

So spend some of it on yourself, but spend a goodly portion on her as well.

**epil**

buy her a battle force and flowers

**candy.man**

I reckon you have enough warhammer models already to cover yourself from a hobby aspect. I would personally either save the money (or spend it on the wife/something else) and start assembling your 5000 points of Orks/Tau. I reckon if you were to buy some more models, they probably wouldn't get assembled.

**Retribution**

Jesus man, mind sharing an army or two?

Good to see that Warseer has as many 14 year olds as Dakka.

**Joetaco**

ride that rocket ship outside of the supermarket 400 times in a row shouting "Ere we go!" all the while

**Ed_Bodger**

Put it all on a horse/fight/dog/spots match of your choice.

If you win take her to Barbados if you loose punch yourself in the face tell her you got mugged and that to recover you need to spend time in a quiet place assembling your models.

**ZombieKoolaid**

I'm going to agree with everyone else here. When your wife gives you dough, spend it on her. If you don't you'll end up spending much more making up for it and not only in cash.

It is obviously a trap so bring her to the restaurant, it's something you should both enjoy.

This do this.

But seriously it's a trap, do something nice for the wife.

**Sageheart**

haha, i mean don't want to repeat but it seems the best way to utilize the money is to spend a bit on yourself, maybe that needed glue to start making those armies! and then spend the rest on her.

just think what would creed do?

Outflank her defenses and then

her

until she

and her sister too. Then

and run!

**Space_Potato**

Buy.....10,000 penny sweets.

And record the guy behind the counter as he counts out each and every one

:EDIT:
@ Skinnattittar
You want to outklank her defenses and then eat her cheese until she buys some more for her and her sister too? Then apologise and run?

People are strange...

OP:

Are your armies fully painted?

If not, buy her a nice gift: A packet of brushes, a couple nice brushes, some paint....and give her some of your unpainted models.
