So as usual i get lots of cash as presents, and afterwards i get to pick what i want.

Been browsing catalogues for a few days, and finally ordered what i wanted this morning. There are minimal miniatures, like i promised when i anounced this year to be all about painting my collection.

- tank expansion for the great war (prepainted so doesn't count  :D )
- a pack of whippets (prepainted so doesn't count  :D )
- uncharted empires book for kings of war (really want to use my scratch built ghosts so i need the night stalkers army lists)
- flock
- some warpaints
- a new detail brush from the army painter's wargamer series
- some card sleeves
- 6 sprues of line lancers from warlord games (all single sprues 50% off untill the weekend, can't resist that! )

Now i am waiting for Leon to start work again so i can have a pack of custom bases and some more paint from minibits!

So surprisingly only 12 miniatures that i have to paint (+ the artillery in the tank expansion, they are unpainted as well). But i'm getting some good stuff to do the actual painting (and basing)!

O Dinas Powys

Camberley now has a games store again, so with some Christmas Ca$h I treated myself to some Reaper Bones Vermin Swarms (rats, beetles and spiders) and a Reaper metal 28mm baby Dragon to help populate my dungeon, as well as a Javis desert battle mat - which looks like quite a good match for my Sci-Fi bases - and a d24.  

Now I just need to find a game that uses d24s and I'll be laughing...  :-\
(I know, even though it's fantasy  :o  ;)  )

So i just splashed the remainder of my holiday cash on:

-paints,bases and dice from minibits
-a gw lord of the rings cave troll
-a reaper bones mountain troll

i'm going to use the last one as a mordor troll, think he looks ok for that!
it's this one:


Actually looks pretty good next t the gw ones:

Gennorm

A leather-bound measuring tape was my only remotely wargaming-related present.

Okay... All I can think of for that would be an old school PE tape!
