"Best Purchase of 2015?" Topic

What was your most satisfying hobby-related purchase of this year, so far?

Frostgrave, I bought one copy, showed some people how to play…..now my local game shop can't keep on the shelf. We have several active campaigns and I just recieved my copy of Liche Lord…..

Late to the party…….but Lion Rampant. Played so much medieval this year!!

Lion Rampant. Followed by Front Rank figures for WotR armies to go with it.

Cthulhu Wars.

I really enjoyed painting King's Mountain backwoodsmen wearing Highland bonnets. It may be a rather unique AWI Loyalist unit and was a lot if fun to paint.
I am also enjoying painting his Continentals as shabby red coat Loyalist. They're on the table right now.

Kings of War for me.

The Battle of Churubusco and Shores of Tripoli playsets by Barzso. The buildings will be used to help fill out my 54mm Texas Revolution and Mexican-American War projects. If only I could find a set of Barzso's Pirate Fortress walls.

I got a lot of Sash & Saber ACW this year, they paint up beautifully and come in a variety of poses. I am almost done with my Confederate forces and can't wait to get them to a table.

The Song of….. system, great rules and great fun.

Kings of War for me as well – I'd go so far as to say it has been my best get of the last several years

Calpe Prussians, lots of them!

Magister Militum's 3mm horse and musket miniatures

Mars Attacks!
Great minis, great terrain, fast play, herds of burning cattle, bouncing cars, and FUN. Just $50. USD

I'm liking my Skullncrown galleys and my Eureka WWI Africa, and my Bushido figures, myself.

Neil Thomas' One Hour Wargames plus Armies in Plastic's AWI figures to play it with.

Definitely Age of Sigmar. I haven't played any other game as consistently since Black Powder came out.

Lion Rampant and Frostgrave.

FFG's Star Wars X-Wing. My kid and I love it.

Trent Miniatures Wars of the French Revolution figures.

General Quarters Naval rules.

Lion Rampant has revitalised medievals for us.

Pulp Alley & Frostgrave. They are my two main staples now.

I got several dozen Graven image figures from Hoka Hey Wargaming; I filled the gaps in my GI Elizabethan Irish & started a new genre-"Weird World War II"-with the GI "Gotterdammerung" line. I ran 2 WWWII con scenarios this year. The miniatures are very distinctive & easy to paint. Mr. Alan Rudd (Hoka Hey's owner) is an excellent vendor.

My 10mm Pendraken AWI figures and my Baccus 6mm Mmarlburian are my best buys and both came late in the year.

I've been trying to think what this may be, and I don't think I have a single answer, I've bought a lot of cool stuff. If I had to pick a single thing, I guess I'd go with 1/288th Sikorsky-16s (WWI plane), for some unknown reason I like 'em a lot, and a guy on Shapeways agreed with me and made a model.

For me, Black Hussar SYW figs. Also discovered Kallistra and Van Dyke 10mm WWI minis. For scenery, GHQ's Church and way too much model railroad scenery items (trees , fences, castles, farms, etc.) to describe in detail.

FNG:2T wargame rules.
wire bound printed copy.

1/144th scale Cold War armor – difficult to choose one over the other, from the following:

M-48s
M-551s
T-54/55s
T-72s
S-Tanks

Looking forward to getting them into battle, soon.

Peter pig ECW armies ready for the new rules release

Slightly left field maybe :) but for me the purchase and building of a 4 metre by 4 metre insulated shed with electrics in my back garden which should be completed on Monday.
I can't wait for the first game out there!

Frostgrave.

Another vote for One Hour Wargames.

X-Wing

Honours of War and Big Bloody Battles

twelve Columbia block games.

Lion Rampant was the best purchase of 2014 for me. First third of the year was spent purchasing more figures for it.

Since may it has been All Quiet on the Martian Front.

Frostgrave and the Osprey games are on my list to Santa.. er, my wife.

That I've actually used? A whole bunch of Windsword Egyptian terrain. My daughter's a 6-yr old Egyptologist in the making and demands the Sphinx head on the table, regardless of setting.

My best purchase? My Reaper Bones III pledge. It might be my best purchase for next year too, as a I keep adding more to the pledge manager with each paycheck. Sometime in 2017 will be an awesome Frost Giant vs Mouseling game…

Hard one, I really enjoyed painting calpe Napoleonics.

But i have to say warfare NYW and a specially GNW figures. I will have painted close to 100 figures from warfare when done with my current unit, and in less then a month and a half.

Bolt Action. Just going over skirmish WW2 has reignited my gaming painting passion. Plus, my boy is interested so it's a win/win. More game time with the boy.

A 50W laser engraver/cutter

Everything I have bought for Ronin. Dixon Ronin; Perry & unknown manufacturers villagers and 4Ground buildings. Almost ready to game.
