Unboxing Day - Or what happens when you bid on stuff while on vacation

Hi All,

  Not trying to rub it in, but I've been successful in a lot of my bids lately. I only had one thing that went for a low BIN price that I regret not getting. I got greedy I guess.


Nurglings. I think I didn't pay enough attention to the shipping on these. Always make sure their not charging some weird shipping rate. But I'm happy enough to have them. I may bring some of the doubles to trade.


I already have Man O'War and Plague fleet, but I got all three of these for less than people are listing Sea of Blood by itself. Sure it's used and a little dog eared, but it came with a few extras and some interesting organizers for the cards. I may show that off in another post.


Sorry this one is sideways, and sorry for the crap cell phone pictures in general. I tend to waver between DSLR and cell phone, right now I'm just interested in sharing without too much fuss, so cell phone it is. As you may recall Blood Bowl was one of my top regrets in not purchasing back in the day.


Basic Blood Bowl orc team. I won these before I knew about the auction for the boxed game. So I now have two plastic orc teams. Santa Orka 69ers and the Orkland Raiderz.


And lastly a dread that I bid on before buying the exact same one off Dustin at Brian's birthday thing. Oh well, you can never have too many dreads.

I'd also like to welcome Steve to the blog. Your friend connect profile doesn't list a blog. So if you have one or a hobby related site, just let me know. I like to link/follow back when I can.

I better get my chores done so I can paint. Not too much longer until Oldhammer USA Day.

  3. Just getting back into BloodBall, myself. Well, purchasing for it at least...who knows when I'll ever get playing?! At the moment I'm working on a Necromantic team, from the Living Rules Book lists.

    1. Hi dGG, thanks. Now the main thing is to remember to paint and not get lost in the new stuff.

    1. Hi Dai, yes. I feel like 14 is not nearly enough.

  6. That's a great haul Sean, I never got into Blood Bowl or the Man 'o War series but would love to try epic at some point.

    1. Hi Joe, Blood Bowl and Space Hulk were my two biggest regrets for not purchasing. I bought the rerelease of Space Hulk when it came out and just got Blood Bowl. I've had Man O'War for years but only just played it for the first time last month. I have some epic on the way, as that is the "new" hotness with the group.
