Some of which is probably going to end up in my Closet of Shame, but whaddya gonna do?
The rest of the haul from vendors and a brief but intense flea market (lots of people in line to get in):
- About fifteen six-siders from the Rebels and Patriots game (the entire collection had belonged to a friend of the GM, who was distributing some of his stuff). I rolled well throughout the game, so maybe they're lucky!
- A Lockheed Electra toy, which
will come in handyfor Women's History and Aviation Month displays. Would have come in handy if I hadn't discovered after getting home that the wings weren't in the box. They're on the way. - Some painted 28 mm models I can use for VBCW - naval shore party, Mounties, Chinese warlord troops in reasonably British uniform, and two armed vehicles.
- 18 naval troops, including Lewis guns and Molotov Cocktails.
- A couple primed tanks and trucks that may work for VBCW too.
- A binder of Fistful of Lead rules, including some cards, status markers, etc. Think I'll definitely use this for Picacho Pass now!
- A box of Armies in Plastic Rogers' Rangers.
- A Sisters of Battle t-shirt to go with...
- An entire smallish army of well-painted classic Sisters - about fifty figures and three vehicles. 3rd Edition 40K, here I come! They'll catch the teens' attention, too - see next post.
- To play against them, a not so well-painted batch of Thousand Sons. Not as smart a purchase, but much cheaper.
- An entire smallish army of WWII British for the desert war - fifty figs, two trucks, armored car and tank, which could be an entire army for most VBCW rulesets.
- Some spare 40K sprues of ruined buildings, Orks, Horus Heresy Marines and 3rd ed. Dark Eldar. For build-and-takes, or maybe Gorkamorka.
- 3rd edition 40K Ork and Dark Eldar codexes to go with the sprues.
- A starter set of Wings of War WWI.
- Some metalled roads, useful for 40K or VBCW alike.
- Some 15mm-scale prickly pear (getting pumped about Picacho Pass now!), hedges and stone walls (for my 18th-century Wofuns).
- A couple painted 3d-printed 28mm-scale Rohirrim buildings for Minceheim.
- A few more books - a history of the USAAF in WWII, one about the Tet Offensive, and the First Bull Run volume of Knight's Battles for Wargamers.
Quite a windfall! No shame in picking up bargains for something you might use some day.
ReplyDeleteFair enough. I did get to use the Battle Sisters today, at work even!
DeleteThat's rare these days, but working at it!
DeleteA nice selection :)
ReplyDeleteLots of inspiration, too.
DeleteWow! That’s quite a haul. All over the place too. Good shoppin. 😀
ReplyDeleteI kinda expected it; you always get a broad selection at a convention. I was focused on finding terrain and VBCW, the rest was opportunistic but I hope to get some use out of it regardless.
