This idea came from the best sculpt thread and an idea I had while posting earlier today

You are allowed up to10 kits or miniatures on your virtual hobby shopping list, any system, in or out of production. The only criteria are that
a) You don't already own said mini
b) You are firmly convinced you will continue to desire this model until you acquire it or die in the attempt.

To start the ball rolling

Thunderhawk
Storm Eagle
Fire Raptor
FW LOC (bit of a cheat, as awaiting delivery)
Chaos Warhound
Cang The Implacable


I'll come back and edit in my further choices later, and I reserve the right to pinch other people's ideas, sorry, I mean be inspired by other people's ideas,

I refuse to participate as that would result in me actually listing out more things to buy, which I hope to put the kibosh on...

Lol, ok, I can understand that. I wouldn't come back and read any further replies either. Might give you ideas...

This somehow feels like entrapment to me.

Here is my list. It is mostly Forge World models, but there is still a Battletech figure missing from my collection of sealed blister packs.

Mars Pattern Warhound Titan with dual Turbo Lasers
Mars Pattern Reaver Titan
GW Warbots figures (look very similar to some early FASA/ Battletech designs) from the late 80's
GW discontinued terrain pack that featured orbital strike blasts and other hazardous terrain
Battletech "oval base" Marauder from the early days of Ral Partha's BT line sealed in its original blister pack
FW Marauder Destroyer bomber
FW Eldar Phantom Titan

No agenda, just being a person and looking for validation that my little quirks are shared by others and therefore I'm not "weird"

Sorry, should have clarified that one. I would be loath to list it all out in the off chance I get them and the wife finds out......

It's ok, we're all friends here, nobody will tell....

EDIT and I did specify or die in the attempt in the selection criteria!

1. Dystopian Legions Britannian Terrier Tank
2. CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT (couple years too late but always wanted to type that)
3. Upcoming FW Night Lords Raptors
4. Warlord Games plastic Hanomag (preferably multiple)
5. The Mohawk Militia figure from the thread that inspired this one. It looks the DBs. Never seen it before but I Like!
6. Possibly stretching the definition of 'kit'. Warlord's Pegasus Bridge box.

Tau XV107 R'Varna battlesuit
Chaos Warhound
XV9 Hazard Suit (for iridium armour conversion)
Horus
Konrad Curze
Corvus Corax
DKoK Centaur (many of them)
DKoK Engineer Squad (many of them)
Magos Dominus
Last slot goes to the new FW techpriest minis revealed at gamesday

The great beast of Gorgoroth
Sauron
Orcs
Spiders

Leman russ
Baneblade.

Great I'm going to be broke...

all of the FW Primarchs...
it's gonna hurt, but has to be done...
they will, however, all be painted and sold on, so it all works out in the end...

the list could go on for ever, though, but i already own more minis than i could ever paint in my lifetime...
so many more beautiful minis out there...

cheers
jah

I recently discovered these newish Uncharted Seas bundles, so this is how my mind-cart looks like now:

1. Uncharted Seas Combat Pack (Dragon Lords VS Bone Griffons)
2. Dragon Lords Game Cards
3. Bone Griffons Game Cards
4. Uncharted Seas Rulebook
5. The Uncharted Seas Scenery Bundle

Just when I said to myself that the next game I was to buy into was gonna be a 28mm skirmish game...

Edit: Added number 5 to the list.

+ A Komodo Persoal Assault Suit

+ 40mm Kalee's NSFW - I love most of Hasslefree's female sculpts, especially in the larger 40/54mm range.

+ Ok, another Kalee - this time in 28mm... what can I say?

Can't really think of anything else off the top of my head.

I've been trying to figure out why FW seems to be dominating most people's lists, then I realised it was so obvious, practically everything else on the market that people just love, they can afford to buy!

Dropzone commander phr hades walker ( who am i kidding all the phr).
All of wargames factories zombies and zombie survivors male and female for both.
Any thing forge world does for orks apart from the battle fortress that i dont have
The urban war syntha range.
Esher gang.
Raging heros new female sci fi range.
Esmerelda female pirate from black scorpion minis.
The list could go on.

1. FW Marauder Destroyer
2. Ork Stompa with Belly Gun, Lifta-Droppa, and Gaze of Mork upgrades.
3. Ephrael Stern and Silas hand diorama.
4. Protectorate Judicator Colossal
5. Professionally-assembled but unpainted FW Storm Eagle ('cause I don't want to be arsed to build one myself!)

I'll probably edit this pot and add more later...

I maintain a extensive wishlist in my desktop notes. But the bellow HAS TO HAPPEN!

1 - Airfix Supacat Jackal/Coyote (for conversion)
2 - DF Eisenkern Stormtroopers (as many as I can, they will go with number one)
3 - GW Metal Techmarine with Power Ax
4 - GW Lurtz, yes, Lurtz
5 - PP Captain Bartolo Montador

FW Reaver Titan
FW Eldar Phantom Titan
OOP Confrontation Titan Dragon
GW Iwo Jima Diorama

That feel when the only things you want are huge and expensive. In order of priority, greatest to least:

1. Acquiring and painting a Forge World Chaos Warlord Titan is my purpose on this fething Earth.
2. The Primarchs - Every last one of them, though I'm mainly looking forward to Curze, a more Chaosy Lorgar, any versions of Horus, and, most of all, Sanguinius.
3. Gal Vorbak - Mainly just want to see how Forge World handle Possessed. Hopefully closer to GW's artwork than GW. I would hope Argel Tal would either be a Character Series model or come with the squad.
4. Sevatar - Because Sevatar. And I don't even play Night Lords
5. Chaos Reaver - I feel somehow obligated to get a second Warhound first, though.
6. Stormblade
7. At least two Fire Raptors - Already got a Storm Eagle, want two more of those as well.
8. Thunderhawk
9. At least 72 (6 squads of 12) of the old Juan Diaz Daemonettes
10. At least one of everything from Cthulhu Wars - I was in on their Kickstarter, but I dropped out at the last minute and blew the money on Forge World instead. One of the worst hobby-related mistakes I've ever made.

Honorable mention goes to the Macharius. Either a Vanquisher or a Vulcan, I've never been able to decide which one I liked more.

Emperor's Children Kakophoni marines
Emperor's Children Palatine Blades
Emperor's Children Contemptor Dread
Emperor's Children Phoenix Termis
FW MKIV assault squad (probably with EC pads!)

XV107
A whole squad of XV89s
New Farsight

Mine would probably be a mix of Kingdom Death LE's (only available for silly money these days) and some Kabuki 54mm's (which I can't really justify either).

Maybe some large FW/Custom built scenery piece to display them on too.

Sounds wierd, but some of mine are old minis for nostalgic reasons, and wierd kits I would never use in a game:
My current 'procurment list' is as follows:
2nd Edition Ork 'Beakie' Tinboyz (one of my favourite models from the era)
2nd Edition Ork dreadnought (which currently sell for around the same price at the in-production plastic deffdread, and was one of the minis that got me into Orks in the first place)
2nd Edition Screamer-Killer (same reasons as 1 and 2)
DF Leviathan Mortis

What about the feel when the things you want are small and somewhat cheap, and you still can't afford them? That's my situation, and that's tears worthy

All of the FW Primarchs with the Big E
Recreation of the final fight on the Vengeful Spirit
1 of each of the Epic Titans (including an Imperial Knight, even though they're not titans) standing on the base of their 40k scaled counterparts
1 Heresy-Era 'chapter'
Whatever else fits my fancy.

I'd sell you mine but a) It's not in the blister b) I've cut the oval base and it's on a hex.

edit:
I want to get at least one of all the minis in the Battletech line - but I don't have a list of the 600 or so I have... so I'll just say "The rest"
I want some of the FW spore chimneys
Really not sure what else.

All the primarchs and commission someone to paint them for me. I wont be able to do them justice.

FW Thunderhawk
FW Storm Eagle
Dreamforge Games APC's
28mm Mad Cat from Armorcast(really mad I missed out on this!)
Hirst Arts molds! Many many more molds!

Most of all, I want the time to build and paint all of it!

Another Battletech completionist--nice! The Battletech line is insanely large and I have been neglecting a lot of the figures from 2006 onward, but there are only a few of the really rare 80's pieces that I still need to acquire. Good luck in your hunt!

the_Armyman and livanbard reminded me of two more FW items I want; a Marauder Destroyer and Eldar Phantom Titan. Thanks for the reminder guys my wish list just got $1100 more expensive.

There are some things I desire, but have no plans on ever getting. And then there is a list of things on my "to get" list. Which is a lot more practical.

The guy with the bolter. Love the pose, love the sculpt. Don't need another sternguard enough to track him down and bother with payments/shipping. But I do covet him

Marneus Calgar and honor guard. Another nice sculpt, don't need. I have the PA version, and have made some HG out of the new sternguard kit. Still, every time I look at the HQ section, he's there watching me. And I suspect he will continue to haunt me.

In the "There is NO way I can justify buying this" category is:
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Eldar/ELDAR-COBRA-TYPE-II-SUPER-HEAVY-GRAV-TANK.html
But that is one sexy, sexy tank. I have a soft spot for anti-grav tanks, and that is a nice one. But my Eldar are at best a secondary army, and might total up to 2,000 points if I painted everything. So apocalypse units are pretty far outside reasonable.

In the out of print category, I could use another 5 metal assault terminators. I only own 5, and would like to have a full 10 man squad.

In the things I desire, and plan on getting pile are a Land speeder storm and a Vindicator tank. Less so for cool looks, but for game play. Nothing wrong with having some obtainable items on the wish list...
