What vikings did you end up getting for saga?
Spoiler:
Its 25 plus 7 bonus models according to the ad. I would have gotten it without the bonus stuff. I can use these guys in Frostgrave as well.
how do those scale with LOTR/Hobbit? always looking for some good northmen
Can't say, never painted any LOTR models.

Bought a box of Venomthropes/Zoanthropes under the notion that I had some spare Neurothrope bits laying around. Needless to say that I did not. Kind of wondering about what to do with it now.

After having almost zero leadpile...I realized I'm a couple boxes behind (mainly due to unexpected gifts and Kickstarters) so I'm not doing any hobby purchasing lately.
Might order some primer/paint, but I don't really count that.
My to-do list is longer than I'd like.

Another Tactical Squad. Some will be Tactical marines, some will get Plasma Cannons and add to my Devastators, some will go beakie and become Sternguard.
Zombies and survivors for survivial games, and a section of Modern Infantry for Spectre/survival games.
They will also be good for my homebrew system I am working on.
Oh, and some Ghar walkers.
Free from GW's tyranny and the hobby is looking better for it

Called my local game store, found out they had an Esienhorn in stock and 'preordered' it on the spot. I get to pick it up tomorrow. Total impulse by, but maybe I'll run a few games with him in charge instead of cypher.

Mostly eBay purchases - got a collection of old Epic Predators, robots/dreadnoughts (which Im using for a diorama/objective marker) and a Thunderhawk gunship. They need a bath in paintstripper but got the lot for less than 10 pounds.
Also a collection of old 2nd edition Epic ork vehicles from a very helpful guy in the Epic Space Marine facebook group.

I don't suppose you have found any good minis that would serve as Fallout or Mad Max style raiders/bad guy gangs ?
Slowly buying individual parts to put together the old GW plastic fortress. I got another tower and now all I need is 3 more walls and 2 more towers and I have a full fortress.

Iāve. Made my March purchases, or at least started them...
Inspired by recently (re)watching Girls und Panzer, Iāve picked up a variety of German & US tanks for GF9ās Tanks game, and some 28MM scale tanks for Bolt Action (a zug of Panzer IVās)
Likewise, picking up the Chimera Star Destroyer for SW Armada. āThe Circle is now completeā
Finally, I have Devil Pigās Black Reach (the 40K version of Heroes of Normandie) on preorder, and hopefully should be releasing this month.
It never ends well

I bought an Ironclad Dreadnought today. I just wish they came with plain bases.
Thought for the day: Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
30k Ultramarines: 2000 pts
Bolt Action Germans: ~1200 pts
AOS Stormcast: Just starting.
The Empire : ~60-70 models.
1500 pts

I'm working on some 30K Space Wolves. I'm not a fan of the FW upgrades, for the most part, so I bought some AOS Dwarf axes, Beastmen arms and Goblin Wolf Rider cloaks to trick out my plastic Mark III and IV Marines.

Found I could create a 4th Ravener form the 3 raveners box's leftoverbit. Buying a metal ravener and another box to get myself a cool nine.

Isn't the battle primer (both digital and the printed one in the DI box) a mini-rulebook? 9 pages, small size?

I bought a box of AoS Witches, a Blood coven and Yvraine (for a hag conversion). Still want to get Morathi, some warlocks and all the new Daughters of Khain snake and harpy ladies..

ChargerIIC, late reply - but yes the battle primer is the tiny 10-page PDF for free, but that only includes basic rules on how to play and doesn't include any of the information on:
-How to build your army
-Detachment types and CP bonuses
-Open War missions and special rules
-Narrative missions and special rules
-Matched play rules and missions
-Matched play tactical objective tables (the card deck, but in the book)
-Matched play deployment zones
-General rules for basic Warlord Traits and generic stratagems for use in the game, etc.
So the "rules of play" are not the only thing you'd want in a proper miniature rulebook. I was hoping the smaller starter boxes would have the above info but without the 150+ pages of fluff/narrative...nope.
