That wooden trawler from Hobby Lobby looks nice, but is a bear to work with.

I don't about you, but I admit to being a Wargame Scavenger. When it comes to miniatures I'll buy them even when I don't have a use for them. Recently, I picked up three packages of Dwarven Forge pre-painted skeletons, a Reaper Modern Adverturer pack (tools), a Reaper not-Charlie Chan, a SOTR Big Thug, and a Spinespur Aniel for a dollar a piece. Sure the tools will be of use sometime and a Big Thug is generally useful, but the rest I bought because they were cheap. I can't think of any use for the skeletons, the not-Charlie Chan would be somewhat usefull in a Pulp game (but people only armed with pistols really don't do so good), and I already had an Aniel (I'm going to greenstuff a hat on him and use him as a raygun armed hero).
Whenever I go into a gaming store I seek out the bargain bin/table/box to go through first. Most game stores have one, you know, the place where the bad purchases end up. Maybe they are miniatures from a game company that didn't make it (Vor), maybe the company lost the rights (Starship Trooper), maybe the game just wasn't successful in that shop (it takes a special kind of gamer to play Spinespur) or maybe the miniatures were deleted from the new edition of the game (GW). The store's loss is my gain and I love searching out such bargains. How about you? |
Mysterious BillI've been gaming since the 1970's and even wrote some RPG adventures in the 80's for the Judges Guild. It seems that I can only get in miniatures is gaming at cons, but I do regularly play boardgames and RPGs. Archives
