So the new Apocalypse is soon to be upon us, and I went on a spending spree of epic proportions! For starters, I ordered the following new items:
The Apocalypse Collectors Edition
1 Khorne Lord of Skulls
1 set of the new templates
1 set of the AdMech dice, the 125 dice set
1 Vortex Template
That ran me a decent amount, but nothing I wasn't already bracing to spend anyways. However, after finally finding the apocalypse formations on the website (which may or may not have taken me longer to find than it should have...) I saw my dream of fielding an entire Space Wolf Great Company become a reality!!!
I didn't actually buy the $1000+ one-click scam from GW, but instead shopped around locally, emptied the SW selection from various FLGS (including the one I run), and begrudgingly ordered a few blisters from GW's website. All said and done, I ended up with 4 drop pods that aren't even part of the formation, 3 extra scout squads, and a Wolf Lord on Thunder Wolf for roughly $900!!! So quite a few extra models for over $100 cheaper. Yay me. Now I am off to figure out how to hide this purchase from my wife...if I don't post again in the next month, call a Life Guard for me.
Hah! I hear ya man - I'm trying to justify the terrain set to add to the Wall of Martyrs. I love the collector's edition, but just couldn't afford it - definitely want to see pics when it arrives!
ReplyDeleteAlso looking forward to seeing the wolves, provided you're not slain... :)
Yeah, I really liked the terrain at first, but now I'm a little more hesitant. I'll decided whether or not to buy it once I see the rules.
DeleteAs for the Wolves, I'm totally excited! They were the first army I actually owned models for when I was a kid, and I remember how big of a deal it was when Ragnar's model came out. It's funny, since it's still the same model, and that was a longgggg time ago.

ReplyDeleteNo need. We'll find your corpse buried in the back yard, most likely.
:)
Or, if you're lucky, you'll be living in the tool shed until such time as your penance is up.
Haha, all jokes aside my wife is actually cool with me spending money on this hobby. I used to blow the equivalent of this at the bar when I was younger, so this is a more positive outlet, as well as providing me something to show for my money invested.
DeleteOr so she says...until the day I wake up dead!!!
