It's been two months without a spending update, let's fix that now.
I've bought myself a few bits this period, due to working overtime a lot and having I think four days off total in July and three in August, I used the hobby store trip and a blindingly good find on eBay as rewards for dealing with both work and the hospital/doctors for the Mrs.
With Project Badab going to take center stage at some point next year, I grabbed this novel about then exorcists when I saw it in my LGS, I've not gotten round to starting it yet, but I'll do a review of it when I'm finished.
At the same time, and again for Project Badab, when I saw the previews of this guy I knew I had to pick him up tonuse as a base for Thulsa Kane, high chaplaingl of the Executioners, I think GWs naming convention is getting worse though.
They aren't shabby by any means, but there are a few dings and scrapes from any good we'll loved gaming book which I can live with.
I just wish that I had known what was in them all at the time as I didn't need to purchase the Istvaan legions as its all repeated in the Legions Astartes book for the specific Legion units which were available at the time.
The remainder of the purchase for this month consisted of a lot of paints, as duento my lack of activities recently and the hot weather, a fair few of them had dried up to the point of no return, or were in the verge of running out as they're colours I use a lot of.
The list is as followes:
Corvus Black
Abaddon Black
Mephiston Red
Ulthuan Grey
Black Legion Contrast
Black Templar Contrast
Agrax Earthshade
Runelord Brass
Mechanicus Standard Grey
Leadbelcher
The numbers;
Purchases:
Exorcists Novel - £8.
Executor model - £26.
Horus Heresy Red Books - £56.
7 pots standard paint - £16.80.
2 pots contrast paint - £7.80.
1 pot of shade paint- £4.50.
Total for July/August: £119.10.
Budget for July/August: £100
Over/Under Yearly Budget: under budget by £113.87.
So slightly over the two months budget of £100, but worth it to get these red books which were the biggest purchase over the period.
I've already started planning a force for first edition Horus Heresy involving some black armour, but we'll get there.
At the moment the staffing problems at work don't seem to be letting up, so hopefully I'll be able to make some progress on my projects as and when, butnuodates may still be fairly sparse for the next few months sadly.
Well, until next time, have nice day...
