The Grand Theogonist's Confessional/"This month I bought..."

Some good, some bad this week! The good, I was finally able to chase down a set of these bad boys from the moot!



Was not cheap, but to finally get them in my hands for real was great! They are really nice sculpts, very iconic warhammer I think. I love all the extra details they have, without being too cluttered or overly designed! I did think his shield was missing (The little dartboard!) and I was like, well easy enough to replace but I was really hoping to have a complete set. Then something ping in my brain, check under the polystyrene! And there it was!

The bad. I brought a Empire war wagon, I'd always wanted one and seeing them go up and up in price in the last year I thought better now than when the old world comes out and we get a rush on 2nd hand minis. I paid way over the normal cost of the model, it was brand new in box and I really wanted it as a complete display piece for the hobby room. But the box arrived having been totally crumpled on route. The outbox had clearly been kicked in by the postal service. Some parts are missing, though thankfully its parts easy enough to replace out of my spares (Some wheels, some bases), the metal is thankfully all there. But the box is in a state and not at all worth the extra money I paid for it, even if it is just a bit of card at the end of the day. I'm too annoyed with it right now, I've reached out to the person I've brought it from and looking to see what can be done but I'll probably take the loss on it as the model is intact. But still deflating.

Still, nice to have the model in my collection. I'll save it to paint once I've gotten through the nightmare of painting the similar models- the war altars, hurricanums and luminarks. Those things scare me, which is why I'm putting them off!
