Shadow Captain Vyper Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 So, its getting to be that time of year again, gift giving is a big part of that for most families, secret santa on various platforms, etc. With the hobby being what it is, while its a big part of our lives, it can be difficult to direct friends and family members to purchase for said hobby. My question to you all is: What's on your list that is hobby-related? Hobby tools? Paints? Models? Terrain? Me personally, I will be requesting the XL and assembly handles, and I think ill put out the vain hope for the Space Marine HQ Command Tanks from Warhammer World again. Would love to see what you guys (if at all) put on your lists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claws and Effect Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Hey Vyper, long time no see (been super busy lately) My list: Leviathan Dread w/twin grav, Eldar stuff (I'm looking into starting a Lugganath army with Harlequin allies), and a paint rack.

Dracos Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 A reworked Marine Codex that gives Primaris true transports .... barring that a paint rack is a good idea. I need to get what I have painted up before move into Knights :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Foam trays and carry case(s). I'm tapped out for models until storage gets under control. And a Stormhawk :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyCrow Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Inspiration! I'd like to start a new army, something unconventionnal and with a strong identity to entertain the hobby group and have a cool project to work on: But can't find something that sticks...

Jacques Corbin Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Another Razorback or two. Then I will have 4 Land Speeder Storms, and 4 Razorbacks. Another Venerable Dreadnought. I am considering running 2 TwinLas/ML Venerables, maybe even 3. However, still have to get the regular Dreadnought kit to get the missile launcher. Bummer... Throne yes, terrain! Sector Imperialis Basilicanum Sector Mechanicus: Derelict Factorum Sector Imperialis Sanctum The issue is what to get the wife. She still has not finished the Promethium Refinery we got after it first came out. So many pieces with so much detail. She still will not play though...

mertbl Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Masters Airbrush kit, heard about it on preferred enemies podcast. Seems like a solid intro to airbrushing. Aggressors, Sternguard, Predators or Helvirens(seem better value for $$ and points) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suxdavide Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 My gift list is an inverse one: willing to sell stuff I bought and will never use :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Just got my grubby hands on a sotar 20/20 so ill be looking to upgrade my airbrush setup. I have models and parts to last a while so im good there haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I'm flush with models for now, but my wife did drive down to the nearest GW in October to get me the 500 store Primaris Lieutenant model. I've taken to collecting Primaris Lieutenants like Pokémon. Other than that, I could use free time and inspiration for painting. Santa doesn't bring those though.

Race Bannon Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 No Land Raiders? Nope, after three (with one being modular) I'm good. I encourage others to build their own collections ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Masters Airbrush kit, heard about it on preferred enemies podcast. Seems like a solid intro to airbrushing. Aggressors, Sternguard, Predators or Helvirens(seem better value for $$ and points) mertbl, although that is one of my favourite podcasts and I know the guys and Alex, I personally disagree with the buying the Masters kit first up. Now if money is tight then I would say its probably and ok route, however if you have the dosh I'd go straight to a Badger Patriot 105 and proper compressor. Sure you'll probably bang up the needle on the airbrush (I still do that now despite my best efforts! I just have several spare on hand they're ~$5 ea to replace ;) ), but your highly unlikely to destroy the brush unless you're really really trying... To that point Badger is having a direct Black Friday sale this week, I don't know what the deals are but they were selling airbrushes for $54 earlier in the year! Also USA Airbrush Supply has some really good deals all year on kits. They actually just finished up a Halloween one which gave even more of a discount... My point being, if you want to do more than just prime and base coat your models you'll probably out grow it fairly quick and then have to pony up again As for me I've been banned from asking for plastic crack for presents :( So I shall live viacriously through you all Also BTW a couple of other sales people might be interested in Foldio (Lightboxes) 23 - 26th (not sure how it works... theres 2 codes?) BLKFRI10 (for 10% off store wide), BLKFRI20 (for 20% off certain items?) Battlefoam 22 - 26th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Thanks for the insight duz. Prime and base coat is all I'm looking to do at the moment. I live in Northern Indiana and priming weather for rattlecans seems to past about 3 weeks. Then its too hot or too humid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Battlefoam 22 - 26th ON THAT LIKE A BOLT ROUND TO HERETIC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Captain Vyper Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 FYI: Ebay has another one of its one-day 15% off coupons, this will circumvent the GW discount cap of 15%, effectively giving you ~28% off. https://pages.ebay.com/promo/2018/1121/70319.html?_trkparms=%26clkid%3D8321889547127657928 Note: This code requires you to use their app to complete the purchase.

thewarriorhunter Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I'm hoping for a compressor. I bought a Patriot 105 at the beginning of the year when badger had their huge sale but haven't been able to get a compressor. Between very bills and vehicle repairs this year I've been tapped.

duz_ Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 So I'm torn... I may consider gifting myself both the SM Battleforces... I can get it with the normal ~15% discount Should I though... :ermm:I really do want a 2nd Repulsor and I see no reason not to get a third Redemptor... Or should I be good and just get the 1 set with the Repulsor? Reivers look soo kewl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewarriorhunter Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I would also really like a Warhammer Quest game. Blackstone fortress looks good and I've heard the gameplay is there, and that it has some RPG/legacy elements however I think Silver Tower would get more play at my house. The fantasy theme is appreciated more than the sci fi theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fantasy theme is appreciated more than the sci fi theme. Since I've dabbled briefly in both they are VERY similar games, as such both are fun :) Although there are some minor differences in mechanics (very small) the main difference is asthetics I like BSF because its set in 40k, but if your family / friends prefer Fantasy then Silver Tower is probably the better option, either is a good choice :) :tu: Speaking of which my BSF just arrived yesterday, need to assemble and play! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MajorNese Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Currently adding stuff to AdMech and Tau - Tau is enough backlog, AdMech just received a Dominus knight for birthday. Which leaves something nice for the christmas break. After WarhammerFest Europe, a few friends and I decided to each finish a submission for next year (yeah, not that much stuff on display, few stellar entries in some categories) just to see how good we could do a model when not just getting it tabletop ready. I'm thinking of a certain project I always intended to do, but the amount of work would be too high for an essentially unplayable model, but that would fit just nicely here. A nice big Raptors command tank that might double as moving outpost... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take my Christmas bonus, buy out the Tau stock at my FLGS, invite my 40K club over, and make them watch as I burn all the Tau stuff in my back yard.

I could restock a FLGS with what I have on the Tau Pile of Shame, no need to buy even more. But that Raptors command tank might need a christmas bonus to get the appropriate amount of resin...
