Reply To: [unofficial weekender] 2 Weeks until Christmas

Pledge this week is to paint a type 1 demon from Otherworld Miniatures that I’ve had for a while. Think the really old and small 40mm based greater daemon of Tzeench, although I won’t be painting it up in those colours, more natural. Going to use it as a Terror Wing for Rangers of Shadow Deep.

What was the last new system/game you bought into?

I recently picked up The Silver Bayonet in a Black Friday sale. I enjoy McCullough’s other games and this one looks fun. Won’t be getting any minis for it for a while, too much other stuff first.

When starting something new do you tend to go “all in” and buy mountains of stuff or do you ease yourself in?

Depends on the game. Sometimes I’ll just get the book and wait for a while, like the Silver Bayonet above or Stargrave, others like Frostgrave and certain Kickstarter (like the new Core Space) I dived in wholeheartedly. Usually it’s a middle ground, the rules and enough to get started.

What was the last thing you got into and now wished you’ve saved that money?

Probably the Dark Souls board game Kickstarter in which I went all in. The game didn’t play very well and I did end up selling the whole lot (and just made my money back). I have bought things more recently that’s still waiting to be touched but so far I’m glad I got them, such as Burrows & Badgers with the two starter warbands, which I just need to find time to paint them.
