The other horde....

    Alright, I have been dreading posting this for awhile now,. This hasn't been just this month, I believe I picked most of it up in October. I would say that I fell off the hobby wagon, but it was more accurate to say that I had guided the wagon down a shear cliff, hitting every rock on the way down. There might not even be enough pieces of a wagon to get back onto, only piles of plastic.

    One of my friends, James, has been getting out of Warhammer. He bought into Kill Team 2021 and is done with updating every few years. He wanted to give me a really good deal on several kill teams as well as terrain from the sets he has bought. I am now a proud owner of these kill teams:
  • Ork Commandos (12)
  • Extraction Squad (11)
  • 2 x Death Korps Krieg (22)
  • 1 x Gallowdark terrain set (10)
    Part of the deal was also trading my Darkoath Savagers, so I did relinquish some of my sweaty angry barbarians.... for even more sweaty angry barbarians!

    Conan, from Monolith Games, is a scenario based cooperative board game set in the brutal world of Robert E. Howards imagining. One player takes on the role of the Overlord and up to four others playing as Conan and his merry bunch!

    Over at Lead Balloony, he has painted up all the miniatures with a really nice paint job, despite the poor quality of plastic. The kickstarter version has more poses for the general rabble, this set only has one and some weapon swaps.  

60 Minions

A mix of Heroes, Minions and beasts, 46 in all

    On market place, someone was selling the intro set to the first edition of Age of Sigmar for a good price. 
4 Liberators, 2 Retributors
 3 Blood Warriors & 5 Bloodreavers
    
    Could use these in Warcry as allies/ adversaries in a solo/ co-op game. The Arkanaut Company could be used in Warcry, but these are my only sky dwarves. More likely they will be used for kitbashing chaos dwarves and the pistols used for mordheim.

10 Arkanaut Company

    I picked up yet another lot of Heroclix, I took the first picture then realized I had much more separated out. There is even MORE then this but I have deemed those as "kitbash fodder" and won't be adding them to my miniature total. Yes, I would be making new miniatures out of kitbashed ones and thus be counted against my total of purchased miniatures but I am sure there will be some that are only partially used. I am adding too many to my purchased pile okay!? 

All the hero..clix

Aww crap there is more!

Henchmen

    These next ones seemed odd to me, Frankenstein as like a pirate? a flaming monkey man? a human tornado? (don't think that's his actual name)

Choice heroclix

    Early heroclix sculpts are just plain silly. Doomsday is almost the size of Blade, a regular human vampire. Blade himself is also very chunky which probably a limitation of heroclix when they were first being produced. Dr. Octopus just looks he was a nerd they pulled out of science class, I guess that's not entirely untrue. 

Early Heroclix sculpts are fun

    And last but not least...I picked up some wargs and goblins as well as Ghost of Archipelago. The Mordor force is an idea I had to add in additional players into games of LotR. A raiding party of goblins and wargs could wander into a battle between Rohirrim and Haradrim. 

    As for Ghost of Archipeligo, well, pirates plundering forbidden islands has a vast potential for terrain, and monsters. I did pick up a megablok skeleton pirate ship, from value village that might host an undead crew in the future. 


Painted: 139  Troops, 8 Mounted, 8 Monsters/ Vehicles, 12 Small Terrain, 2 Large Terrain

Purchased: 559 Troops, 35 Mounted, 1 Monster/ Vehicle

Traded: 20 Troops

Next on the Hobby Desk

    Okay, so no more purchasing till next year! Got it! I swear I am actually working on stuff. It's a bit all over the place and I need to reel it in a bit and just focus on one thing.
