What's new and shiny that would make a nice addition to a historical miniature gamer's wish list this year?

ACWBill15 Nov 2016 2:14 p.m. PST

I want Santa's Elves to paint my lead pile for me!

durecell15 Nov 2016 2:25 p.m. PST

I don't have anything historical this year but I do have the new Bloodbowl boxed set on my wishlist.

tigrifsgt15 Nov 2016 2:46 p.m. PST

I found a reprint of a biography on Turenne that I am wishing for. Other than that, I pretty much buy my own miniature stuff. No one else knows what I want.

Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut15 Nov 2016 4:24 p.m. PST

There's only three things I want. They aren't gaming related, and I can't have them.

I will try to think of some gaming stuff.

Andoreth15 Nov 2016 4:40 p.m. PST

Not sure now. It was going to be Strathclyde Welsh and Welsh armies for Saga but having got Aetius and Arthur at Crisis I am faced with painting up late Roman and Arthurian armies which I already have as part of my lead mountain. Maybe a load of scenery instead, you can never have too many trees.

Whitewolf3615 Nov 2016 4:48 p.m. PST

New eyes for painting.

Oh Bugger15 Nov 2016 5:13 p.m. PST

First Carlist War armies in 15mm from QRF for me. Maybe a Berber army from Donnington.

AussieAndy15 Nov 2016 5:39 p.m. PST

Rustymusket

Could you please share the name and author of the Turenne biography.

As to the original question, I just buy my own stuff and give it to the wife to wrap up.

Regards

Ragbones15 Nov 2016 6:09 p.m. PST

I'd love to have some painted Peter Pig Colonial figures. But I doubt there's enough time to get something like that done.

Two Brunettes that can paint figures to a museum standard, can Crochet to get along well with the wife, and don't mind watching war movies while they paint!!

Well, one CAN wish!!!

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP15 Nov 2016 7:14 p.m. PST

Not much – pretty much have enough painting to do for the rest of this decade

LostPict15 Nov 2016 7:27 p.m. PST

An airbrush and the skill to use it.

Ceterman15 Nov 2016 7:51 p.m. PST

A different person in the White House. From a different party. With a brain. See ya…

LARP stuff for mr

Jamesonsafari15 Nov 2016 9:05 p.m. PST

I would like to add some more to my 20mm Canadian force for Afghanistan and there are many Middle Earth related figures I'd like too.
Plus books, some nice cheese or other yummies,

Personal logo Mserafin Supporting Member of TMP15 Nov 2016 10:18 p.m. PST

28mm French Napoleonic Legere for the Peninsula. Preferably by Perry, Front Rank or Brigade Games.

All grungy looking (campaign uniform), if I can get it.

Buckeye AKA Darryl16 Nov 2016 4:20 a.m. PST

My Amazon Wishlist is always my Christmas list…plus I would like to have some figures sent off and painted to reduce the lead pile!

Cosmic Reset16 Nov 2016 5:05 a.m. PST

I always keep a running list of things to buy for various projects. I just give a copy to my wife around X-mas, and she picks out things to get. So, SFB ships, GZG space fighters, Reaper and Hasslefree post-apoc figs, Cold War era 15mm British and French stuff from various sources, some TAG Nam US figs, several post-apoc novels, and other stuff that I'm forgetting at the moment.

Personal logo 20thmaine Supporting Member of TMP16 Nov 2016 6:04 a.m. PST

Peace & Goodwill towards all men.

Failing that a new version of Nuns with Guns….

Personal logo etotheipi Sponsoring Member of TMP16 Nov 2016 7:40 a.m. PST

The best addition to my wargaming collection would be a promotion.

Old Wolfman16 Nov 2016 7:49 a.m. PST

More Team Yankee figs and vehicles would be nice,among other items.

Better glasses so I can get back to painting what I already have.

Gunfreak Supporting Member of TMP16 Nov 2016 12:24 p.m. PST

I have now strong hobby wishes for Christmas. But I've said if my wife can't find anything else to me. I'll take a gift card at perry miniatures.

steamingdave4716 Nov 2016 12:34 p.m. PST

@ceterman- aren't you getting part of your wish in January 2017? (pity about your final criterion though, still 2 out of 3 is not bad).
I"m with ACWBill re my personal wish, my lead stash is too daunting, too many projects on the go and so cannot really concentrate on any of them. What I really need is VAGamer's brunettes, (or blondes, or redheads; not fussy as long as they can paint!)

Ceterman16 Nov 2016 4:53 p.m. PST

steamingdave47, #3 is the most disturbing part, for sure. On the Gaming Front, I want some elf's to paint some of my mountain of Zulu War figs, buildings, Lancers, Mounted & dismounted Boers and ALL 300 or so of my Foundry Plains War figs! That ain't askin' too much is it? Santa?….

Can Kate paint?

richarDISNEY17 Nov 2016 7:53 a.m. PST

Mostly boardgames and RPGs for this year.
I really went ga-ga over the new FFG Star Wars rpg stuff.
