Happy e-bay day!

This is my 100th post. 95 of which have been since October. I have had over 20,000 views and I've got 72 followers. So I thought it was about time I did an unboxing. That unimaginative staple of certain gaming blogs. What makes this a little different is that I'm unboxing an ebay win that I had to go and collect from some housewife (she is a Hermes delivery agent and wasn't too enthused about having to try and redeliver to my house at a sensible time). So the box above is what I finally got back to my house (one of five packages today, more of which in a bit)

Upon opening the box I find the game that the lot was listed under. Battle for Armageddon, never played it, looks a bit like risk, most of the counters and rules appear to be there.

But also inside the game box are.....

5 Rogue Trader marines, two of which are Heavy weapon troopers, one seems to have his weapon removed and one has a shruiken catapult. So far so cool. But there is also.....

Some metal marines, no arms but I think these are from the later RT or 2nd ed releases, I 'll do a bit of research. But that's not all..

A chaos renegade marine, a female marine from the adventurers range and a marine scout with shruiken catapult! Brilliant! But there's even more.....

Two (yes two!) Genestealer Magi (maguses?) How awesome is that? I 've got 4 hybrids and a patriarch already so these are very welcome! But there is yet more....

A full copy of the Book of the Astronomican! Fuck yeah! I've wanted this book for ages. It's such a great set, nevermind the army lists, it's got great illustrations, a four part campaign, weird characters, painting guides and catalogue pages full of classic RT models. All of the above cost me less than 40 clams! I am one happy little bunny!

Another reason for me to be wearing a shit-eating grin is that also contained in my post today are the results of more trading and ebaying! The eldar trader, the hive worlder and the imperial official from the adventurers set, as well as Dib from the Judge Dredd set. I also got Irn Bonce the Squat who went straight into the dip for a stripping as well as another half dozen Paranoia Troopers. Big happy smiles!

And to top it all off we had the 20 week scan for our latest miniature and everything is looking great......and it's a boy!
