Posted this well over a year ago; thought it was time for WCYNSB redux

My wargaming vices are:

Undead;
Brushes;
Bases;
Vallejo paints (hate running out so I'll have a spare ready when the bottles 3/4 gone).

So what are yours?

Definately those crap things from 1€ shops that might be used sometime and then just sit in the closet for ages.

Diecast cars for my flying lead project.

the revell micro wings. They were at my local'action' shop a few weeks ago for 1€ so i bought another 4 just to make a crashed version or 2 and some normal ones. I'm running out of room for them.

Glad it's not just me in there

You are asking wargamers what they can't stop buying? Seriously? 

Shinies, shinies and then a few more shinies.

Paints to colour said shinies.

Brushes to apply said paint to said shinies.

A4 hard plastic wallets for my 6mm shinies.I have about 40 now -just in case Poundland stop stocking them.

'Useful' b&p's from Poundland and the 99p stores-we have three within walking distance in the town and I check them all at least three times a week just in case there is something I might have missed. I have enough PVA to sink the Titanic!

It used to be books as well, but I've recovered from that compulsion. In a year I have only bought two books -Jena and Auesrstadt and Howard's Franco-Prussian War.

'Green Stuff'. (What a surprise !  )
When I get down to two spare 'Catherine wheels' of the stuff, I order four more.

Loads of things I try and keep excess stock of...In case there's ever a delay in getting more.
Cheers - Phil.

I've just bought a 36" wheel of it.  That begs a question though; are there different brands / qualities Phil?

Paint - I like to have spares
Orcs - Even though I have lots i still pick up suitable ones if I see them - ie ones that are  not Cartoony or GW style
Shiny Figures - Although I am trying not to buy any many in 2015 as I want to spend the money on 20mm Buildings
Terrain

Anything that will expand my already overstocked ranks. I painted up the Old Guard cavalry division in 15mm a couple of years ago. Why? They'll probably never see the table. It just felt right.

  Can't have too many infantry!

Please Remember the two basic rules for a wargamer

When you paint your last unpainted figure - You Die.
This has not been scientifically proven, mainly because there are no wargamers with unpainted figures.  It is accepted as an absolute fact  by most wargamers.  Even in the highly unlikely event that this is not true, why take the risk ?

For Health and Happiness a wargamer must own at least his own weight in unpainted lead (Perhaps thats why wargamers are of a certain shape)

Think Kitty might disagree with both of these but he's a long way away so I wouldn't worry about it too much

Pendraken Goblins...

I thought I had more than enough for my needs 

...then Nik sold off his fantasy spares! 

...then they released the shamans! 

...then I saw a mixed packet at Warfare's bring and buy! 

NOW Phil's only gone and resculpted the little buggers... 

Maybe I can resist?!  Maybe... 

Cheers!

I had exactly the same response!

I have 8000+ points of orcs for Warmaster but these are sooooooooooooooooooooooo cool.

Must resist, must resist (repeat 100 times).

Just posted a request for mounted goblin archers - http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,11516.msg150638.html#msg150638 - a glaring omission from the range in my opinion

Add your vote and come join me for the wild ride to oblivion and ecstasy!!
