CF MINIATURE SECRET SANTA - 2008 Holiday Edition!
Posts
Remember, if you don't PM me in the format requested in the OP I unfortunately cannot include you!
Dude needs a painted army.
How many boyz has he picked up this month from AoBR alone? ^_^;
Santa is always open to bribes of milk, cookies and Old Speckled Hen.
Warmachine & Hordes - Believe it or not I'm actually full up on stuff that I want/need. I wouldn't mind another Carnivean. If you want to paint it, my paint scheme is the same as the picture, dark brown armour plates with light blue skin.
Also, if you wanted to get me another Seether I'd be happy.
Infinity - I've got a Yu Jing starter pack and I would really like to get more into the game. Anything you want to get me is fine by me!
40K - Tyranids. I'm currently looking for:
-Carnifexes
-Raveners
-Gaunts (Horma and Terma)
-Biovore Cannon
Ditto. Though my creativity is variable dependent on what my person plays. Like Eldar... I have no clue what to do with them, though it would give me a nice excuse to try.
Timspork, and whoever else, actually, if I'm your Santee, you have full permission if you want to get creative. I don't care if you give me a modded Penitent Engine being piloted by a Looted Demon Prince that's been captured by an Eldar Wraithlord for my Orks, that's cool. I'll say it's a warboss and play the CRAP out of it. Creativity is the awesome, especially since my Ork army is fully purchased.
Disclaimer:
Painted/unpainted, converted/just in a box, i'm good with whatever. I'm posting a big old list of what I have and don't have, but if you wanna say "scew it i'm doing something completely different" go for it!
40k
Chaos Marines
I'm re-vamping my old emperor's children army for the "new" codex (they were shelved for like 2 years), and making them more of a warband than the pure sonic weapon force they were before. The colour scheme i'm using is basically the same as pre-heresy EC, that is purple armour with gold trim, only with bone shoulder pads. I'm trying to stay away from the gribbly aspect of chaos. Less giant horns and tentacles on everything, more fallen, disturbed warriors. I'm also going to add some Tzeetnch dudes to the warband, mostly because Tzeetch rules.
What I would like:
Anything Slaanesh/Tzeentch/undivided would work!
What I probably don't need:
Anything Khorne/Nurgle, I guess. Not overly fond of Obliterators either.
Orks
Kaptin Deadeye's Freeboota boyz, my Orks are pirate themed. They're mostly blue with some white here and there, but being orks it doesn't really matter. I have a decent amount of orks, but you can never have too many, right?
What I would like:
Being pirate types my orks do enjoy getting stuck in fast, so I tend to use smaller units in trukks more than huge footslogging hordes. That said however I have lots of dakka and it isn't all kult of speed all the time. So...anything really.
What I probably don't need:
I have like 4 warbosses, so no more please! I also have a decent amount of Nobz.
Marines
I have a small force of marines who are both Samurai themed and coloured like iron man's armour. However with the new marine codex and the other half of Black Reach i'm about to start an Iron Hands army. Iron Hands fuck yeah!
What I would like:
The best things in the new codex are obviously tactical marines and dreadnaughts. Or maybe drop pods. Or those scout bikers looks fun. Or landspeeders. HNNNN anything will do. Bring it on!
What I probably don't need:
I already have a command squad converted, so two might be overkill. Other than that tho my force is bare-bones, so anything marine related can be put to use.
Eldar
You'd think with all these armies i'd at least have one of them fully painted by now, huh? Anyways. My Eldar were originally flight themed, but i'm shifting it more to an anything goes deal now. My colourscheme is essentially the Biel-Tan scheme but with the green replaced by a dark purpleish blue. Pretty close to the dark blue of this forum actually. From the last summer santa I received an awesome gift of an Eldar Pheonix Bomber, which makes me cry whenever I think about the day I will ruin it when i try and paint the white over it's lovely sleek surface.
What I would like:
from the few times i've taken my eldar to battle, i've realised they need loads more troop choices.
What I probably don't need:
Falcons! I have that 3 falcon box that they did during apocalypse, so I dont really need any more.
Warhammer
Dark elves
Unlike my terrible horde of different 40k armies, in warhammer i mostly stick to one. I've played Dark Elves for years and years, and as such have about 4 different generations of them throughout my force. Until the most recent army book i'd played a Cult of Slaanesh force, so now i'm in the porcess of sorting out a proper DE army again. My colours are pretty traditional, Dark Grey armour with purples and blacks for the robes.
What i probably don't need:
I have a ton of warriors, a bunch of sorceresses and loads of witch elves. everything else I can probably find room for more of in my army.
Though I pretty much stick to Dark Elves, a combination of WAR and the new releases make Warriors of Chaos look mighty tempting. If/when I do go for it, it'll probably be a mainly Tzeentch raven god type horde.
Warmachine:
I have not played this in years, but have loads of Cryx dudes who are awesome. I have about 2 Cygnar dudes tho (Darius and a single basic jack) so more of those would probably be the best warmachine-based option.
CSM, rolling with a khorne/nurgle army, but any chaos stuff will do. I don't own a lot of points worth of marines, so I'm working on building my core units, but I also have my eye on a defiler for when I move up to higher point totals. Oh, I already have about a squad worth of 'zerkers, so there's that. And a bitchin' terminator champ that gahm painted up for the summer edition of SS.
I'm going to say "ditto" to this
But I'm rebuilding an old Salamander's army, not just starting them :P
I'm old school.
The draws are under way as we speak! Ooooooooooh!
I've split the listings into one draw for USA/Canada and one for Rest of the World. If anyone feels that they are getting stung for postage and packing, let me know and I will reimburse them.
PLEAE NOTE: some of the PMs are very vague on armies played / minis wanted. If you'd like some clarification, please PM me and I will anonymously forward it to your Santee for comment.
Well, that's it! Get painting!
Er, I mean, can I has drop pods plese?
