Subject: Re:What are your most recent game purchases?
Well, I just started my journey into Kings of War. I spent a few months deciding on what to get for an army, but decided on playing Mongols from the historics rulebook since that also allows me to use some "mythic" elements like giants and wizards as well. I bought the rulebook a few days ago, and bought the first model for the army today.
I bought the model I will be using as my incarnation of the Mongolian god of war (Daichin Tengri)(my Giant), since it will be coming from Italy and is the single most expensive model in the army. It really wasn't too expensive for a 75mm metal model (45 USD converted), but the shipping was half as expensive as the model itself (27 Euros). Still, totally worth it.
I thought it would be fun to build a Mongol army that also has a wizard (will be used as a Mongol shaman), to incorporate some more of the Mongolion mythology and mysticism into an army that will mainly be fighting KoW Fantasy armies. But, here are some pictures of the model (from the Pegaso Models website). I am probably going to have to green stuff the areas where the bow and quiver mount to the model since KoW giants don't have ranged attacks.
I did it and bought Black 2.0. I'm skeptical after seeing the paint itself, but will give it a try and see if I can add a little void to my Nephilim.

Um...my wife bought me Mortarion a month and a half ago. Does that count?
Oh, and more paint like every week. I think my wife intends to own every paint color GW makes!

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Due to work, I can usually only ship any sales or trades out on Saturday morning. Please trade/purchase with this in mind.

I was planning to wait, but ended up picking up Star Wars Legion today. It llooks like the (Bandai) AT-ST model I picked up a few weeks ago is about the right size (1/48) for this game, so I might use it.
Also picked up a really cheap copy of Betrayal At Calth for my son - cheaper than an SC box - he's in the midst of Chaosifying the models.
It never ends well

Some FW paint before it disappears forever and feths me over half way through an army
Some Imperial Knight bases because I've got two to build that have been in storage for a while and the bases seem to have wandered off.

Gaming store near me had a damaged box of Stormcast Liberators that was discounted as a result so I bought it.
I've been looking for an excuse to put together a 1000pt force....guess this is it then!

Some German Grenadiers, a Flamethrower/Panzershreck team and a Armies of Germany book for Bolt Action. I need to make some assault pioneers to flush out the stubborn Amis/Ivan/Tomis.
Thought for the day: Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
30k Ultramarines: 2000 pts
Bolt Action Germans: ~1200 pts
AOS Stormcast: Just starting.
The Empire : ~60-70 models.
1500 pts

I just got back from Miniature Market's 'Garage Sale' and managed to snag:
1) Daughters of Khaine Melusai box ($5)
2) Wood Elf Glad Guard box ($5)
3) Shadespire Dwarf Gang ($5)
4) Rune Wars Reanimate Archers box ($5)
5) 4 different M.E.R.C.s gangs - 10 mins a box for $5 a box
Not a bad haul for $40.

My wife got me another Necron half of the Forgebane box. She wanted to get me a Triumvirate of the Imperium box too but I told her to hold off. My pile of unpainted stuff is getting to be too big. I think my next purchase is an airbrush. Even if I just do the base coat, it would save a ton of time. Also base coating is the most boring part of painting, but if you do a bad job it ruins the model.

Just received a Seraphim Sister Superior I thought lost in the post. But it arrived and the seller got a nice surprise of payment in full for something we both had figured had either been sent to the wrong address or lost by the post. The parcel was pretty flat, but the blister pack saved the figure.
Astra Militarum, Scions, and Drukhari start collecting. I have a lot of free time these days. Also bought the Drukhari codex and found it to be enjoyable. Such an edgy and over the top race...
I want to finish painting more of my Primaris, but I keep going back and forth between Ultramarines and Dark Angels and I can't make up my mind.
