This game absolutely floored me in terms of how fun it is. What a hidden gem!

That makes me regret dropping my kickstarter pledge :(

Haven't seen much of the game out and about, doesn't seem like most of what they kickstarted has been released

Merry Christmas to you!

I recently bought and built a Gorgon.

My first large Forgeworld model and, although I was happy with my use of a hairdryer to reshape bits and use of Greenstuff to fill gaps, it was a lot more effort than I wanted.

I guess it's just the fact that they are made in resin but some of the FW bits are honestly like going back to some of the old Airfix kits from the 70s and 80s, when you had massive gaps and nothing lines up properly.
Certainly when you compare to modern plastics from the likes of Tamiya and Hasegawa, which are machined to within a fraction of a mm tolerance and fit together beautifully, and are less than half the price, it is a bad comparison!

The starter box and the wave one jaegers and kaiju have made it to retail.

Five plastic laser lances for additional repaired/scratch-built Shining Spears.

Cheers,

Finally managed to pick up some Vallejo metal color paints. I've heard great things but the shades I want were never in stock!

Seems to be fine metal flakes suspended in a really thin paint. They come in larger bottles so cost about 6 or 7 quid. From everything I have seen, they go on in one coat and are super lustrous. Been wanting them for a while as I prefer TMM to NMM. Element games has some in stock if you're interested. I picked up duraluminium and white aluminium.

Got TemTem. Its pretty much everything you'd expect/want from a 3d pokemon make. The mechanics are a little different but the ret is all there. I can feel the collecting addition starting already

7 Multi-Meltas.
6 for the project & a spare in case of an error.

Thanks
Do you know if they are only for airbrush?

I have had some of the Alclad metallics before for model kits (if you're doing bare metal on an aircraft and things like that) but the paints are *so* thin that I think you would always need to airbrush them, unless you were super careful with lots of thin coats.

Nope, you can put them on using a brush and they're just as good, which is what I think is the appeal of them! I was debating Alclad paints but I'm in a small enough flat where lacquer paints through an airbrush would be unhealthy!

I ordered the Core Space starter set along with the Deluxe Rule Book this evening.
Mostly will be solo play but hope to find some players whenever we get to more appropriate times

All 4 grand alliance books for Warcry and Start Collecting! Slaves to Darkness box.

2 copies of Indomitus.

I don't play SM or Necrons, but a Black Friday sale and a 25% off coupon got me both for $200.

Are you joining our SM/Necron ranks?

3 more Necron Reanimators

To go with the 3 I already have from Indomitus sets.

I just won an auction for a large painted eldar army with battlefoam. Retail value I estimate is around $2,400, I payed $900. I know eldar aren't in the best of spots right now but hell if I could pass that up(especially since I already have eldar).

It was not purchase, but a gaming buddy gave me a box called Rampart – Eternal Cathedral, it is filled with plastic parts for a ruined church and loads of extra pieces. Said he had no room for the boxes. So more terrain to build and paint.

An early Christmas present.

Padme Amidala and a box of ARC Troopers

Da Red Gobbo LE figure from last year.

A friend who only recently started 40k with Orkz has been looking for one (at a sane price).
While out finishing Christmas shopping Tue. I was near a game store I rarely frequent. So I stopped in looking for more Necron Tomb Blades for myself.
I didn't find my 'Blades, but I did find the Gobbo MIB & at retail price. Merry Christmas to my ork buddy!

Bunch of Brother Vinni minis.

This month I've picked up a few bits from green stuff world, including a couple of textured rolling pins, the fatesworn host tzeentch box, and a couple of rule books from Ganesha games.

Paints, varnish, a Mephytic Blight Hauler, and a Mephiston novel. Oh and a big paint brush.

Necrons are on my focus now:

60 new Necron Warriors, all with reapers,
3 LHDs and with 3 more to come,
6 Skorpekh and 1 Skorpekh Lord,
1 Reanimator,
1 Cryptek
and more to come.

Frostgrave Second edition Rulebook and the Harry Potter Miniature game from Knight models to play with my friends.

A Santa with sack on motorcycle from Infinity, a new set of rpg dice, and a few misc D&D minis.

I've never encountered nor used a Morkath (D&D monster) in all my years of playing D&D. But I suppose since I have one coming I'll have to get busy & write up an adventure featuring it....

I thought I would look at some of the Burrows and Badgers miniatures.

Put 5 on order a couple of days ago and they arrived this morning. Really impressive looking miniatures. Will certainly be ordering a few more over the next few days.

Yeah the BB models are fantastic and some of the cleanest metal castings I've seen in a long while.

I ordered a set of green paints from Scale 75, Colours of the Forest it might be called.
Plan on starting some Dark Angels and hopefully I'll have some nice colours in there

Last purchases are 2 Necron Warrior boxes.
There is one ordering delayed, with 1 Necron Warrior box and 1 Cryptek.
And there is another ordering in pipeline, with 2 Necron Warrior boxes.
This should give me 60 Warriors with reapers. Nice.
