Black Friday (part one)

For the first time ever I had some extra funds to use for my hobby as we approached the time of Black Friday. So with the coming Brexit in mind I decided to splash out and make several purchases. So I scoured the webshops to look for interesting offers. 

I decided for a few guidelines to help me focus my purchasing, since I'm generally easily tempted to get into a lot of different things. First of all I needed to be wary of not getting too many new miniatures, since I still have a lot I need to paint. This meant I focused mostly on terrain, books and pre-painted stuff if possible. Secondly I should not start new projects but concentrate on existing ones. And thirdly, due to brexit, I should only look at English webshops. Now, as it were, I did fail on all 3 points, but more on that in part two.

Because of covid-19 and christmas season the items arrived very piecemeal and there is still some stuff I haven't gotten yet. Also some things I have ordered with others, so those items are also missing. But here's a photo of all I have gotten so far.


As can be seen it is quite a diverse collection. The mdf buildings are for my 15mm WW2, so primarily aimed Chain of Command. The desert pillars from Battlefield in Box I got because they were rather cheap. The SAGA box is for a late roman warband, so my Normans have someone to fight against. The LotR LCG boxes I collect whenever I see some good offers and availability. I collect books as much as miniatures so I always purchase those whenever possible. These purchases should demonstrate that I reach wide in my hobby 😀
