My 40k wishlist?

Enough bits that I could convert amazing pieces
and enough money to hire a commission painter to paint my Cadians and my Warriors of Chaos

I'm pretty set on 40k for a lifetime since I haven't touched a GW model in months...

But I'm sort of stuck more into Warmahordes recently...

You know, it's kind of funny for me now that I've gotten to the "more models than I could possibly paint" stage. I kinda don't like it as going to my FLGS or other supplier has lost much of it's luster. I can still get things for the kids on occasion, but frankly they've got more models than they could possibly paint as well. I've got some of the coolest minis and ideas for painting them... just don't know if I'm ever going to get to them.

But, as long as I'm painting and not buying... I'm making progress eh? With a bit of luck and some more late nights... there should be major advances in both boys' armies by the new year... which would make me very happy (as well as them, I'm sure).

I love page rollovers.

Hmm well you say;
Evay metal paint est
Evay meal paint book
SM dev's
Money!!!!(For more 40k stuff)

HAZZER

There's some 40k Daemon stuff on my list (soulgrinder ) and I said to Mrs monkeyh should could get me some Necrons (she looked quite blank about this) and as ever the chaos warhound is on my list!

Well yeah... I'd go for a titan no problem. But I know one would not be in the offing, so I don't bother.

I'd want a nice 1500pts Guard army, I'd like to paint something other then Red lol

The only GW stuff I'm getting for Christmas is (as far as I know) IA11, which I bought for myself (it's very pretty).

I might try to get some FW for Christmas, but other than that Im nearly set with everything I'll need for a while.

Back on the topics of electric fences, I first contacted one while playing airsoft-manhunt at a friends while it was dark. I saw him laying prone, and went to make a huge circle around to get behind him (he has sheep on his farm, but I forgot about their electric fences...) so I turned around and sprinted as fast as I could, and I slammed into the electric fence. Not only did I take a huge surge of electricity, the fence sling shotted me and I fell on my back. He had seen this happen and casually strolled over and shot me while I was on the ground

all im getting for xmas is a bunch of stuff for an empire army, some painting tools, and a Jagr Jersey

Oh wait... I did sort of ask for IA 8... but I doubt I'll get it as they're pretty tough to find out here...

So, I guess I did have one GW thing on my Christmas list after all!

crons
daemon prince
dreadknight
dreadfleet
leman russ (for me orkzez)
and my own 'Eavy Metal team
(to paint the unpainted models I'm swimming in )

@Gits, just say it's for FW and so it doesn't count

I'm to smart to touch fences like that
My Auntie's old place had horses, with some electric fencing, I stayed well clear of it
Then at this Zoo there were giraffes surrounded by a fence next to a hill, so you could get in but not out
(In fact I believe someone once fell in... )
(note, the 1st happened 10 years +, until about years ago. The second one happened when I was in year 4, so when I was 8/9)

Probably not getting any GW stuff for christmas, but thats a family policy. But people always give me money, and I'm sure i'll pick some up.

I know I'm getting some WHF Roleplay stuff, seeing as my family are incapable of using amazon.

But anyway, electric fences, i'm in the category of I have to touch this thing, i doubt it's on anyway. Followed by a quick retracting of the hand and about five miutes of swearing and muttering at myself. Then i'll do it again 5 minutes down the road.

For my christmas i am going to buy a bunch of Bretonnian stuff, even though i completely suck at fantasy, i just think they are too cool and plan on expanding my army. Also, i may get another vendetta

You realize that the more you post about the rollovers, the more rollovers we'll have?!?

I am hoping for some Necrons from my wife... we'll see.
I want two boxes of Lychguard/Praetorians and a box of warriors... I'll make the Lychguard and use the Preatorian and warrior bitz to make Crypteks.
An early christmas gift would be a set of spyders... but that's not likely to happen until March.

The one present i am hoping for is a can of red Army Painter Spray from the Familys Secret Santa. (Its sort of rigged as we put in "sugestions" lol). My wife and I are not exchanging gifts this year :( Small children are expensive to keep :( lol And i am likly to be working on Christmas eve, possibly until 3am *blergh*

a friend off mine bought himself a little x-mass present it was a ......................... titan................

Hmmm for my list it would be a drop pod for my salamanders and anything salamanderish to begin with also an alpha legion army but not 1 thats all chaos'ed out since these guys are the ultimate ilfiltraters/sabatogers and the new salamander book hehe

I'd quite like a LRC, simply cos I don't have one for my gks. FW wise, Hector Rex would be cool. But tbh I'm always chuffed with anything geek I get, as it's tough for herself to know really as a non-gamer. She always does well, mind you.

Found out my better half is running around with the kids trying to get gifts for me... sounds like the two main things I was hoping for aren't going to happen. Ah well...

I couldn't even tell her to drop by the FLGS to get anything... I just don't need anything (and it's just more to paint...).

Nothing that I don't buy myself. For Xmas I buy her exactly what she wants and I already buy what I want!

Wife doesn't attempt to get me 40 K stuff and I don't buy her artist supplies. ( or clothes or shoes) I only stress out what to do for Thing1 and thing 2. I think I got tha ton checked off this year.

Maybe you should ask for a back up compressor, with all the luck you have been having.

Well, theoretically I now have a back-up compressor (my old one still limps along). The new Grex is working fantastically well though. It's quiet too!

I should ask that she get me "Iffy vouchers"... i.e. have her agree to pay Ifalna to paint a few of my minis... THAT would be very, very helpful. Far more so than more stuff I need to find the time to paint...

And then you can get more stuff.

It's a slippery slope gits.

*chuckle* You are so right Lorna...


Well, finished the wings on the Tyrant last night, they're up on my Nid blog if you want to take a look. Advanced the work on three large bases... but I'm getting a bit worried as I'm slowly running out of steam. Even though I stayed up painting well after midnight last night, I got much less done than the night before, which was less productive than the night before that. Long commutes, full days of work followed by shopping & late night's painting are finally catching up with me I think. Only a couple of more days to go though... so if I can keep things moving until Christmas I'll have over a week thereafter to do things like sleep.

Luckily, most of things that are left to do can be done fairly quickly... i.e. it might take a while to paint, but I can keep working from thing to thing & won't have to leave things sit for long period while wash dries or GS sets.

Enough tanks to make a full IG Armoured Company.
What?

Glad you're so moderated in your request DE... *grin*.

(Santa's going to have to hook up a utility trailer to his sled just for your order! LOL!)

^ I hear that you can get one of those santa trailers from Fw. Expensive, but pretty, and the resin is not made of ice cream.

My Christmas Wish is to receive a box of goodies from Gitsplitta!

Which reminds me... I still have that box of Gaunts which I forgot to mail you...

I have an e-mail sitting at the top of my in-box at home entitled "What I owe Gathering Storm".

*sigh*

Sorry mate, I'll get my _ss in gear and mail the stuff out.

lol, went to my grandad's place yesterday, we exchanged Christmas presents, and I got Dreadfleet!
