I bought of bunch of these pre-primed minis for my boys to paint during Shelter-In-Place. They had some pre-primed Transformer minis so my oldest will be pretty jazzed

My meeples came in! These are giant 2" meeples!



In a handy turn of luck, these meeples are big enough to fit the 1" stickers I've used on the 1" building sections; each sheet of 1" square stickers has 63 stickers, and I only use 60 for the fifteen building sections provided per player.

Stormtrooper upgrade pack for legion. They look much better than the regular ones, quite happy with them.

Literally $200 of paint and an Imperial Guard heavy weapons team for the bits

Fancy big mega-paint set, or just going ham on some spray cans?

Lightly damaged NIB Phase 1 clone upgrade box from the FLGS to chip in towards it surviving Covid-19 unscathed.

When I called to see if they had it, it sounded like they were planing on sending it back for replacement even though it was the only one in stock. Luckily contents were fine so it worked out well for both parties!

My Monsterous Squig herd from FW should arrive 3/18.

Meanwhile I continue to ponder what I'll need for a new Seraphon force.

I gotta know. what game are the giant meeples for?

I bought them to use as prototypes for a giant robot brawl I've been developing called "Titanomachina." With the addition of a sticker to indicate the front it's about as good as having miniatures and so much cheaper to produce.

That's wonderful

Thank you. I'm also making a MonsterVerse version. I need to find a male MUTO...

Picked up the fow d day American army book. A bag of woodland scenics clump foliage, some Tamiya extra thin cement. Also downloaded the bolt action firefight rules. Although they are free so doesn’t count I guess.

Really didn’t want to run out of glue as there’s maybe one other shop that stocks that glue in my town and the shops are already locking down.

I hear you on that.
Right now my most local shop is open (though all gaming has been suspended), but things could change. So while out taking care of errands yesterday I stopped in & restocked on plenty of glue, kicker, & a few colors of paint.
The last thing I want is to get stuck at home, be essentially ok, & not be able to address the pile-o-shame....

In a weird bit of luck. one of the ebay Escher necromunda sets I had on my watchlist sent me an offer for $20 so I snapped that up. now I gotta save up for money to make a forgeworld order.

Walked down into town yesterday to stretch my legs. Picked up a can of Death Guard Green and the new WD from GW, then found my LGS had a mini-sale going on.

Got another set of Barricades for SW Legion, along with the Rebel Trooper, AT-RT and Speeder Bike boxes at £8 a pop, as well as two small expansions for the Conan board game at £8 and £10. Not a bad bit of impromptu bargain-hunting

Before all non-essential stores were closed yesterday I picked up some paints I NEEDED and to hopefully help the FLGS weather the storm Operation Wildfire (with the Pre-order bonus mini even!) and a Cadmus from Infinity. And in a show of confidence in them I ordered the Beyond Wildfire box for when they re-open and it arrives.

Found someone selling the Eldar Apocalypse box (Spirit Seer, 15 Wraithguard, 2 Wraithlords) for cheap. He even threw in the Ultramarine datacards he had on sale for me.

My local FLGS offered to curbside drop-off a Canis Rex for me while the owner complies with Shelter-In-Place. I've never really wanted to use a Knight in battle, but if there was ever a time for a big hobby project this would be it.

Also ordered some basing material, but I don't know if I made the cutoff for the vendor's shelter-in-place, so I might have to wait until late april for the shipment

Just bagged a Vision/Winter Soldier for Crisis Protocol. I'm perilously close to finishing Guild Ball from a hobby angle, so I'm stockpiling a little for the next project.

While out doing essential grocery shopping, discovered that my local craft store was still open. Well, before they get themselves in trouble & shut down.... Stopped in & got 2x3 yards of cloth (mottled green & mottled tan) to start making my own game table for at home.
It'll be a double sided board 4x6, maybe 4x8 for atop the dining room table. One side green, one tan.

Next steps:
Decide what material to use for the board itself,
Determine actual size. 4x6? 4x8?,
Determine where to store the board between games - that might be the biggest determining factor on its size.

I just purchased some matt Decorators spray, one light grey and the other an ivory to see if the contrast takes to it like wraith bone.

Bought Army Painter Uniform Grey spray, since Wolf Gray was way too blue

100x 20mm square slotta bases from EBay.

AT 43 baal golgoth and regular golgoth

NICE! but did you have to take out a second mortgage for them Big AT-43 fan/player here
Infernal cultists, Nicia hound of the abyss, for CoI

Actually got a pretty good deal. noble knight games has a bunch of AT-43 items on their ebay store. including several golgoths for around $30 US the baal i got cheap because the gun was broke off so a little bit of glue and it was good as new again for like $30

I have a ton of kharmans and a few UN units like tac arms and such. i really wanted ONI but rackham was dying right when i discovered it so i have ended up using them as proxies in other games.


After AT-43 i went full in when palo got DUST off the ground. interestingly it was his original pitch before AT-43. it is such a good system it's a shame that AT-43 went the way it did if it was anywhere close to the same mechanics..

Nurgle stuff from GW

Feculent Gnarlmaw (spooky tree), great value although it's noticible it's a china rather than uk produced mini

Biologous Putrifier (I'm converting a fair most the characters rather than buying them but I really like this one)

Lord Felthius & the Tainted Cohort (I need more blightlords and this grinning easy build fool and his mates fit the bill)

I'm pretty intrigued by Lord Felthius and the Tainted Cohort box too -- as I like the easy build stuff especially. Need to see how the rules
are though, a unique unit I believe.

Pre-ordered Gamemat.eu's new set of hive walls:

Also picked up their new Sands of Time/Lost World double-sided 6x4 mat:

I already have their original Sands of Time mat (you can see it here). It's a great mat, but as you can see from that pic it has a bloody great dried up river right down the middle of it, which tends to dominate terrain placement. This new one will allow for a freer and more generic terrain placement.

Original Blades of Khorne OOP SC box w/3 skullcrushers, 10 Blood Warriors and a priest for $80. Get em on ChaosOrc.com if you want them! He’s got 5 boxes still

Nice all! we stay play AT-43 once a year on average, with a few house rule tweaks, so much fun for nostalgia.

Picked up another two sets of Dwarven Forge; an encounter room and some large floor pieces. Should arrive in a few days.

Well with no Salute this year, I have taken to tackling the pile rather than pile more on it, but even so, one Salute must was the female Frostgrave Wizards set, so I ended up ordering that and a few metals from NorthStar as my treat since no Salute...I might also pick up the 3rd ed Batman starter box...
