A quiet Christmas for me, only thing gaming related was my 3rd Xwing starter set.

TIE swarm, ho!

A tablet, N3, the Neoterra starter box, and a Peacemaker Armbot.

My Neoterra army for Infinity got jumpstarted.

Merry Christmas all. Santa brought me some lovely armored might from Battle front some plastic StuG G and some Jagdpanthers. hope he brought you all what you wanted.

Merry Christmas!

I got a copy of the 5th Edition Dungeon Master Guide, and the newest version of the Battletech Introductory Set. I also got gift cards for the friendly local game store, which are going to get spent ASAP!

Gift cert to the LGS for me, and among many other gifts, gave X-wing starter to my son.... which is also kind of a gift for me, because, let's face it, i'm going to play it with him.

Well, aside from the SW stuff, I got a new set of brushes as well. Nothin' fancy, but enough to keep me going into the new year. Bit of a lifesaver, as I can't see my last 2 lasting much longer with the amount I have to get to.

The summary of the Star Wars to-paint list:


Should keep me busy for a week or so...

I was lucky enough to get a shiny plastic commissar from a friend, which has turned out to be a perfect fit for my army, as I had a bit of a points gap at the 1750 mark, that could only be filled by a commissar or similar, and this guy gives my fully symmetrical platoons.

Got nothing else gaming-wise though due to now being in work (I'm 18), so I've been able to buy most of what I need.

Two boxes of Mantic Plague Zombies!

SNES controller. You win unless its a knock off look alike for something else.


I got nothing gaming related and Im not crying. Got 2 STar Wars Lego sets from my daughter. Built 1

Merry Christmas everyone. I got a Gift-Card for my Local Hobby Store (about 28 £ I think). Not sure what to pick up. Maybe a Trollbloods battlegroup or an Ork kit.
That's pretty much it unless you count video games, in which I got Fire Emblem: Awakening and Dragon Age inquisition.

Just got the Zoraida crew for Malifaux too, and Morvhana the Dawnshadow for hordes.

So that's Woldwrath and Morvhana for Hordes, Rasputina and Zoraida for Malifaux, and Daturazi for Infinity. And I'm getting money off people to start my Skaven/expand my fantasy armies and maybe get some stuff for my 30k forces

I got a copy of the new Blood Angels codex, the Blood Angels painting guide, a box of Blood Angels tactical marines and £60 of Games Workshop vouchers. Quite a nice haul this year!

It's a she's controller for the PC. So kinda a knock off.

The forge world earthworks realm of battle board and a few death korps of kreig! Loving the battle board, well done my wife :-)

New brushes and the Acheron knight

i7 4790k
Asus Maximus VII Formula

Not much in terms of mini gaming. That was last year when I got a ton of basing supplies and paints.

My wife really surprised me with Epic Reznik. Can't believe she pulled this one off with out me knowing

Let's see...
Two tyranid swarm sets (to be fair I bought one myself on black Friday)
Two tyranid spore things
Xbox one madden 15
2 HH books from black library

Got a new airbrush and the dwarf bust from Scibor. Also got Cards Against Humanity and Forbidden Island.

I made a Christmas Eve trip to my FLGS (I mean, I was driving by and there was no reason not to stop in...) and picked up Forbidden Island for myself along with a YT-2400 for my Rebel fleet.

My wife gave me Memoir '44 and Puerto Rico, which I was pretty excited about.

A Decimator and YT-2400 for xwing plus copies of Memoir 44 and Pandemic.

My wife and I played a game of Forbidden Island earlier today and it was pretty fun. She played it at a friends house a while ago and thought I would like it

So far it seems that the X-wing starter is the geek gift of the year on dakka?

Decent sized 28mm napoleonic forces for British and French. Plenty of room to expand, plenty of scope using what I've been given.

An order confirmation for a Cerastus Castigator.

A cutting mat
An expansion for King of Tokyo
And a new workbench. With a pegboard back, built in lights, drawers and the works. Which, considering I do all my assembly on an old printer stand, is a major step up.

Might be more on the way. The annual gamer gift exchange with my geek buddies is the sunday after next, which is where most of my gaming related gifts show up.

Hobby wise, I got an army painter mega brush set, brush conditioner/cleaner, and an IMPERIAL KNIGHT!
