**ShadowMageAlpha**

I got some carbon fiber tubing, sheets of plasti-card, and a set of files of various shapes and sizes.
Best of all, nice Saw-and-Mite set. It's really something, I cut through a dread in just a couple seconds, a far cry better than what I was used to using before.

What did you guys get?

**Salad_Fingers**

The SAGA rulebook, but better then that, a couple of new airbrush complete with compressor and tank

Good times

My parents are still pretty "What's this?" to me and the hobby overall, but I did get a few things.

1: A Chimera box
2: A HWS
3: Box of Cadians (and they actually knew what Melta/Plas was, so I got a small bag of just bits. They knew SOMETHING)
4: An actual army case, so I can actually bring my army somewhere

**draugadan**

That wasn't a surprise though?

**-Loki-**

Vampire Counts megaforce. Everything else so far has been non-gaming related (mini BBQ, polar fleece jedi robe, wooden coffee pod box, Angry Birds biscuit barrel, box of twinkies and box of 5th avenue bars).

I honestly have more fun at Christmas giving out my presents than receiving them though.

No the kids spoiled the surprise, but it was still awesome to actually open it today.

**snooggums**

I got some nice adult beverages to sip on while I model and paint.

**WaaaaghLord**

I got 3 Wraithlords, 2 Vypers, some Harlequins and a Mega Paint Set. Good haul!

**-Loki-**

Turns out I got more gaming related stuff. My parents got me a pack of Cultists and the LE Black Friday dice cup, which is pretty rad.

My brother dragged me back to wanting more Salamanders by getting me Sevrin Loth, the only Librarian model I've ever liked.

**paulson games**

I got the infinity rulesbook. Now comes the wallet pain of buying their minis. So beautiful... but they are priced like they are cast from gold.

Also a testors fine grade sand paper pack, nothing says miniatures nerd like getting excited over sandpaper, lol.

**SilverMK2**

I got the mini DV rulebook, so now I can finally play some 6th Edition

**pixelpusher**

To me, from me. Merry X-mas Pixelpusher, I love you.

**Hobomedic**

I got monies, which I used to buy a hellbrute and 3 deffkoptas off people in the swap shop, and the rest goes towards a dark vengeance set when I get back to Canada. Nothing like -35 with the wind chill and 2 feet of snow to motivate you to stay inside and assemble/ paint a bunch of miniatures.

**the_Armyman**

My wife and I set pretty low budgets for each other, but I still made out with a box of Protectorate Exemplar Bastions. wewt!

Are we looking at the same game?

Infinity is one of the cheatest miniatures games on the market right now. Only their TAGS and other large models get expensive, because, well, they're all metal still.

**Dheneb**

I got the MO starter box; I'm working on the Teutonic knight now. In Australia at least they're priced like GW models in ye olde days.

**chromedog**

That's because there isn't the same policy of charge THOSE people 2x what we charge THAT other lot for CB - and because of this, pricing margins between direct and local distribution isn't anywhere near as heinous.

It's usually cheaper to get it local as the postage from direct is a killer (Euro to here).

I got a FoW open fire box.

**Daston**

Bloody good year!

Wife got me

Chaos Lord on Manticore
Slannesh hell riders
Hell cannon
Battle of the Fang novel
Gotrek and Felix 3rd omnibus

Brother inlaw and mother inlaw got me

Leman Russ battle tank
Fenrus wolves

Father inlaw got me

Axis heavy walker for dust

And.... My wifes friend got me some red devils for dust

You both are right in my opinion.

It can get very expensive if you want to have a "complete" set of unit options. It only gets worse if you want to have unique looking units where you have to do conversions, etc.

SUPER DUNGEON EXPLORE.

I bought it "for the family". Yeah, right.
