Obviously, as a wargamer, I never have a problem with irresponsible purchasing sprees when I should be trying to paint more than I'm buying, right? No, wait. It's that other thing.
So, it turns out Bits and Kits have a new pre-owned section, with pretty reasonable prices. They had some Inquisitorial Retinue models. Had. Now I have them. The Crusader has a pretty solid paint job and just needs some light rescue. The cherub sadly needs stripping. The other three only came undercoated anyway.
A guy on a Facebook group I'm in had sculpted up a cool looking robot figure. I decided to get one. My wife thinks it's ugly and hideous. I think he's amazing. Should be a nice and simple paint job, too.
I know, I know, I haven't painted my existing Arcworlde stuff. Why on earth am I buying more of it?
Well, it turns out when someone asked on the Facebook group about when the hobgoblins from the Kickstarter were coming out, and the answer was "those ones are limited edition, they'll be redone in the next supplement", I had to own them immediately.
This weekend is now planned to be a busy weekend of painting and assembly - some new stuff, some existing, but I'm pretty stoked about getting some stuff done!
That robot is amazing and beautiful because its so hideously ugly.
ReplyDeleteArceworlde.....? Hummmm
The Arcworlde stuff is a very specific style - I think you either love them or hate them. But I'm definitely in the "love" camp.
DeleteThanks for following my blog. Those Arcworlde miniatures are dangerously tempting.
ReplyDeleteNo worries. Glad to see you here, too.
DeletePlease do get them - if other people buy them too, it provides me with validation for my ridiculous overspending. ;)
Dude, that old robot is straight off page 42 of the original Rogue Trader! Right down to the old ball and chain (and no, I'm not talking about @paintysim).
ReplyDeleteWhat a strange co-incidence!
