Awesome cake. Just awesome.

Awesome wife
Thanks for all the kind wishes gang.
And now, Loot!

Well, a great birthday haul was had, and I may never leave the house again.
Gaming ways (ubiquitous clothing from family aside, in other words): Guilds of cadwallon, Elder Sign (yay!), Stratchlyde welsh warband, st celestine, crusaders, masqmini tube tool, and:

Which - just nib&nos, not loose figures, turns out to be:

I may need to have a lie down...

You gonna be busy for a while

those boxes are the dream of all of us put together

What hords do you have?

Wait till you see the rest

Legion, Raptors (?maybe - elves on elks) and a blister of legionaries I think.

Want me to paint them for you ???

Mk 1 Razorback! Paint that next!

Nice haul, Graven. Looking forward to seeing it all painted!

Maybe lady, maybe. I don't play warmahordes anymore, they were a surprise in a whole bunch o' surprises.

Yellowbeard wrote:Mk 1 Razorback! Paint that next!

Definitely one of the highlights for me, that. If I fancied running a PH army, the fact that I have a razorback and an annihilator is certainly a lure.

That's about half the metal; I haven't gone through the SM yet, really. So far I've found Heru for Wargods, classic metal bloodthirsters, a whole lot of csm, classic daemons, a bfg ship, mysterious chaps on horses who might haradrim?, some FASA sci-fi troops, vampire counts characters, a whole bunch of metal aspect warriors etc, some mordians, a ratskin gang plus assorted esher, orlocks and spryers (woot!), flagellants, some old deldar, lots of metal trolls and a strangely diminuitive giant, halfling cooks, grima wormtongue, an old Ordo Termie (huzzah), some very cool grots, some kind of warmaster dragon, and some 54mm Inquisitor figures.

So far.

So far.

Holy cats man... what a haul!

oh wow Graven that is a serious catch.

Love the cake, how on earth do you bake a round cake the mind boggles.

and I may never leave the house again.

if you can get that crazy idea through with your wife and family... you´d be my personal hero...and i think for this you have as much chances as a chocolate kettle

but... cool haul... as has been said before... the vampire counts coach... that is a nice thing!... and i see you have some of these warriors of urban war i got from dave way back then... and a landraider and some rhinos... man... you have around three fourtunes of plastic and white metal now you have to figure out a way to invest all this in cool projects

Dude! that's one heck of a treasure haul! I'd love to see pics of the old OOP models you've managed to get your paws on btw.

Well I've gone through the metals. There's a ton of stuff.

So decisions, decisions.

There's a playable sm army there. Some cool metals - classic techie, captain and chaplains for instance - which I may pillage, but this is essentially an army I can pass on to the kids. Box up, into the garage.

Csm - likewise there's a lot there, along with daemons. If folk are after classic metal khorne daemons though I could part with.

Munda - tons. I now have gangs

Eldar- I haven't fully catalogued these but mostly aspects,I think these could be up for grabs plus avatar, wraithguard, and some plastic guardians.

Fantasy stuff I really don't know what to do with lizardmen or the vampire counts. All the undead will no doubt be handy as bits.

If anyone has any requests from what they can see, lmk.

Oh, and I will put pics up of stuff anon, I needed to tidy or the wife would murderise me. There's also sealed old hex pot glazes.

I might be interested in some guardians if they are still on the sprues.

Yup. They surely are.

Wraith guard?

Wraithlord, rather. Sorry. I shall make a list of the eldar stuff, but there's boxed farseer&council and dark reapers also.

Oh my goodness! That is a daddy of hobby hauls! Lots of fun times ahead.

I can see at least two Confrontation blisters and a Karloth Valois (among sooooo many cool things).

Congrats for the haul and happy birthday (even if I'm a bit late) !!!

Thanks mate. Yeah, there's a wolfen repentant (lovely fig) and some griffin grunts. The Valois - that's the confrontation special, right? There's also Mad Donna. I'm a bit torn on them, they're lovely models but the resale on nib munda is pretty immense. Still, I'm loving having so many gangers.

Dagnamit, I hate it when Briancj's right.
The shrine needs more skulls, there's no way round it.

Should do the trick!

Also, I've put what I'm going to part with from the haul in the swap shop here http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/422382.page

Back to the shrine, should I add more cables to it? I have a tube tool...

Battlefleet Gothic?

Man, that haul is too much. Like literally too much. But you could someday build a Norse burial mound and have all your toys buried w/ you.

Happy (insert age here) birthday! Here's hoping for a lot more. Cheers!

Oh man, bfg - fond memories. Sadly I have none bar a weaponless chaos cruiser thanks mate, I'm just turned 35. Funny you mention Viking funerals, I got a long ship for my birthday from erithromycin and me and the boy are going to build it next week (we even did research today!)

Cool. Girl I was working with last year actually got to dig one of those. I was extremely extraordinarily jealous even more than I am of that haul even. (One was found on the West Coast of Scotland a few years back)

Wow. Sounds cool, there's some great sites (obviously) up here; we often go up to Arran and there's a village on the coast road that has a full sized longboat moored on the quay. Eldar, Deldar, vampire counts and lizard men all gone! Now what to buy treating myself to a macharius infernus and maybe a couple of immolators.
Cos I don't have enough stuff
There should be a major update on the shrine Tuesday, btw.

It's MILLER TIME.

^ Blah blah blah
Some quick, rough pics - cos getting a shot inside the cell is almost impossible - however, thought you'd want to see where the cellmates are up to:

Iyanden eldar, facing the opening door -


Soul Drinker, opposite her -


And SoB (who's much more WIP than the other 2) -


Notice the wall of Grey Knight blades! Also, the shrine is now a lot skull-ier, but you'll have to trust me on that.

Don't think I'll get that finished by deadline though :(

Awesome!

Great job, monster build!
And then You go around on other Plog to call the people unbalanced?

Great job, love the idea of grey knight weapons taken as a tribute to khorne .
