End of December and end of year (almost) update....

Well dear readers, it is almost the end of December and with it the year 2015 goes out of the window and 2016 comes staggering in bleary eyed and smelling of cheap rotgut gin, (or something like that).
I'm hoping to make my 2015 "Year in Review" post here real soon.
And happily enough I was actually able to break my post records for 2008, and 2011-2014....
I promise that I will do more posts next year...I really will try, including some game reports and more scales and scenery and terrain.

But that is for next year, and for today it's "What I got for Christmas"....

My wonderful wife (Gawd bless her!), was able to make a good purchase in cahoots with Bob Murch at Pulp Figures again and in doing so, I got a nice box of lead....

Here's what I got...

From PULP FIGURES, courtesy of Mr. Bob Murch.....


(PWM31: Arrogant Gestapo: Yeah right, like there's any other kind of Gestapo...)


(PWM5: Cultists: The Fill-out crew for "The Evil Jade Cult....)


(PWM6: Evil Cult Leader and staff....Every baddie needs assistants....)




(PGJ1: Agents of Justice: Agents ready to dispense Justice....hence...Agents of Justice...or something like that....Masks to hide their identity and .45's to dispense....Justice...)


(PGJ2- Masked Avengers:  Avengers with masks....and ready to avenge those that cannot avenge themselves...)


(PHP-15- The Istanbul Constabulary, complete with Hookah, they are ready to enforce the law (or their version of it), in Istanbul, (not Constantinople now)....)


And so that was it for the Pulp Figs purchase.....
Then I got noticed of my Reaper presents!!!!
WOO-HOO! My wife rocks!!!!

Oddly enough, most of these figures seem to follow a peculiar and particular pattern....


 




 

 



I'll admit that I do enjoy the Reaper figures. They give me the same type of joy that the old RP figs did back in the 90's...and now that Ironwind Metals is redoing them that joy can then return.  

And then in the box, I noticed this....

 

I didn't remember ordering paint....
So I checked the invoice and there at the bottom in the fine print was what it was....




Cool! So I was randomly selected!!!!!
I'm a WINNER!!!!

And then finally....FINALLY, I got this from my wonderful wife...


FFG's Fury of Dracula 3rd Edition Boardgame.....and now I smell an adventure coming up.....

Needless to say I did a pretty good score in the gaming stuff and am happy.
But now I have lost count of my 28mm inventory, and well...I'll have to start all over again......
Next year....
