This year I got nothing GW related for Christmas.
But before Christmas I bought 4 boxes of DA Veterans,
1 Serpent, 1 Ironclad, and 1 box of 10 CSM's.

Thousand-ish points of CSM and an Immolator. Yay!

Sabol Motorpool bag
3 Predators
3 Tactical squads.

Best girlfriend ever.

I received a Chimera, a $25 GW certificate, and plenty of money, a significant portion of which will become several IG vehicles. Oh, and Dan Abnett's Ravenor, which I hope is as good as it's cover suggests.

I gave my brother a Drop Pod and a Rhino for his Blood Angels, as well as a few pre-owned Dark Eldar jetbikes for him to practice his painting on [he'll be getting a whole bunch more DE stuff for his birthday soon].

All in all, a very nice Christmas this year.

I got Memoir 44 and a copy of Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters to go with my copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Also got some money that I may just spend on Flames of War, part of it anyway.

Ravenor is an excellent, excellent series!

And it's now been confirmed!

Warriors of Chaos Battalion, Champion of Nurgle and a Manticore!

I asked for Chaos Marauders card game from Fantasy Flight games,
I got Warhammer Fantasy Chaos Marauders box set instead; I guess I am lucky that I own a Chaos Warrior army.

I got a box of Space Wolves Terminators and the regular Space Wolves pack. Luckily I had some spare Space Marine legs and bodies lying around, so I can turn them into more Wolves!

I also got $80, and I should be getting about $60 from Warstore from their bitz trade in service. Not sure what I'll get with that yet.

I got a land speeder!

Oh, and I treated myself to a BF1520, if that counts.

I got two sniper scout squads and I'm hoping to get a late x-mas if I win the grand prize at my FLGS

I got myself 6 Killa Kans. My best friend got me a Deff Dread and my wife got me the second one I neaded for my list.

wife gave me free reign this xmas to buy what I wanted so here it is
-2 cadian cmd squads
-4 sets of pig iron heads
-1 orc trukk
-1 pre- heresy fw land raider
-some tank access form fw
-weathering powder
-ryza pattern Leamun russ fw turrets
-fw master class book.

I got a box of Arco-Flagellants, a Lord-Commissar and scout-sergeant Telion.

And to appease the anti-GW witch mob: An Infinity S.A.S. badass and Szalamandra Pilot, along with a Cygnar Arcane Tempest Gun Mage Officer and the Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team.

Also got good aftershave and some books.

Ooh, you lucky. I'm waiting on getting the Highlander SAS.

At least your family buys you wargaming stuff.

Its not always great to get wargaming stuff... especially if your in school... It sucks when you get off break and people asked what you got... Oh I got a $400 Dollar model... Yeah that doesnt go over well... So I usually try to get 50% wargaming and 50% non wargaming and I just leave the wargaming part out when asked

I got a gift certificate to the Sentry Box.

That's all the wargaming stuff.

I also got two nice sweaters, a couple of casual collared shirts, and Pandemic. Which I'm excited to play.

I also managed to nail my gift-giving (rave reviews), which is, to me, much more satisfying.

I got the Chaos Marauders cardgame for my son (at his request).

Didn't get any GW stuff myself, but my mother-in-law gave me £30, which will be getting me a Land Raider Crusader. Or maybe Tyranids... hmm...

I did get some pretty cool books, and the John Peel On The Radio 4-CD set... and chocolate truffles.

Eheheheheh..

My skaven, the lovely rats shall be claming many lives with their mishaps (most likely their own)

- Skaven Battalion box
- Skaven Screaming bell / Plauge furnace box
- 2 Army painter brushes
- A Can of Rat fur Primer
- A Paint can of Army painter Quickshade (strong)
- A anti-gloss varnish primer

And today i hopefuly can grab a box of plauge monks from the near-by games workshop (promply a hour away, figures)

Also hopefuly later this year i can load out on more retribution of scryra troops. Vross and his gang are rather lonely... I think adaptius rhan and some battle mages will go nicely with the dawnguard force i have.

On Christmas Day as presents:
- Space Marine Predator
- Space Marine Vindicator
- Space Marine Terminator Squad

Just been into town to spend some Xmas money, and bought:
- Imperial Sector (techically only cost me £25, as my bro also wanted it so we paid half each).
- Space Marine Command Squad (using as BA Honour Guard for a non-jump packing Captain)
- Space Marine Combat Squad (wtf Tactical Squads were sold out)
- Space Marine Attack Bike

Also ordered:
- Blood Angels Honour Guard (Dante needs bodyguards)
- Death Company (5-man set)
- Jump Pack Chaplain (to convert slightly and use as a 'Counts As' Lemartes)

Still debating on whether to splurge on a FW order

What's amusing is that before Christmas I had around 1600 points or so. Once I've finished building/painting, I'll have 3200.

Grey Knight Terminators
Ushtabi Vultures (2) (for Daemon Princes, thank you Redbeard for the idea)

also got $100 cash, which may become the beginnings of a WoC or Empire army.

On Sunday, I'll get stuff from the majority of my family.

I got a Space Marines Battleforce and a War Walker.

My dad got lots of terrain he will be painting for some time.

2 Strongpoints (2 Bastions + 3 Defense Line Sets each)
1 Baneblade (to make a Cauldron of Blood)
1 Stormlord/Shadowsword (to make a Tower of Skulls)
3 Defilers (Slaughterfiend Bloodpack)
3 Sets of GW Craters
2 packs of resin barricades
2 Chaos Rhinos
3 Obliterators
2 Packs of Noise Marine Weapons
1 Fortress of Redemption

Traded some old Dark Elf and Eldar stuff for:
11 CSM Bikers
7 CSM Terminators (2 Lords)
Enough CSM Torsos arms and Heads to make about 10 full squads.

Probably going to order from Warstore on Jan 3rd for their after
christmas sale

2 CSM Vindicators
2 Boxes of CSM Terminators
2 CSM Predators
2 CSM Land Raiders
Keeper of Secrets
Lord of Change
Blood Thirster
50 CSM Legs and 10 Banner pole arms.

How's that boycott working out?

Yes I am lucky.. My sister lives about four hours away and has a great shop in the area where she lives, I always try to stop in there when I visit her. But she doesn't have a clue what any of my games are and relay heavily on the clerks of the store. That can be a good and bad thing. I should learn to always include a picture of the stuff I am wanting.
When I am there in the game shop with her I try to keep a low key of what I know about the games, Sorry folks I don't look like a gamer; but she has a bad tendency to talk smack to the gamers at the tables about how good of player I am. I am not.. But she thinks I am, just because I can beat her at board games over the holidays.

I got a lot of money, but most of it is going towards my saving for next summester's costs (some books, supplies, food, vodka), but I did get a $100 prepaid visa, which'll be used for miniatures.

Of that, I've ordered the CMON limited edition Lich King, Gamezone Venerable Thaumaturge, Gamezone Mournful Knight Musician(to go with the standard bearer I ordered earlier), and Vallejo Dark Sea Grey.

I also have a Gamezone Mournful Knight Standard Bearer, 4 Zombie Wolves, and Leonara from an earlier order, which should be in my mailbox by time I get back to Lethbridge.

Lastly, I bought some Hordes stuff back at Sentrybox. They're all painted up, and will have pics in due time.

This'll be a no-GW Xmas for me. I did get some wood elf models (blister of 3 waywatchers and a hero) to paint, but they were on clearance (pretty much $50 off), and my LHS won't be stocking GW anymore. Loop-hole on that regard.

My mom bought me a stuffed golden retriever .
ATM its sitting on my stairs along with my other stuffed animals :x

What do you do with these 'stuffed animals?'

Are you supposed to glue them? Or paint them? I've never heard of such a thing. What's they're statline? Are they apocalypse only?

If you ask me, they sound very heretical...

They sit / lay on the stairs.
Thats about it ><

So, they block firing lanes and act as a counter-charge?

Hmmmm ... dunno o_o
they are dangerous for guest that walk stairs at night with lights off though.
