After this mornings revisit to a relatively local hobby store for the Black Friday "Buy 1, Get 3 Free", can tell I'm doomed to a life of buying miniatures, and probably not being able to break my habit.
Not only did I pick up the Relthorza fleet box (what a freakin' awesome kit!) and walk out with the Lunimark/Hurricanum, War Alter, and a F&IW game (called "A Few Acres of Snow"), but I couldn't stop myself from picking up more ...
Figured as long as I was taking the Firestorm Armada plunge (1 battleship, 3 cruisers, and 6 frigates inside the fleet kit), I might as well pick up a few other items, to take advantage of the sale of course. Bought the PD & Comm Satellite set for $24, getting the Gun/Torp Satellites, Relthorza Escorts (6), and Relthorza Shunt R&D Cruiser for free.
Then for some miniatures ...
Bought a 40K Ogryn for $19, with a package of 3 older Empire knights, a Pathfinder Hook Mountain Ogre (this is one cool figure!), and a Skaven Warp-Grinder Team. This was followed by purchasing a Space Wolf Runepriest at $14 (a gift for a friend) while bringing home an Ultra Marines Champion (gift for nephew), Skaven Warlord Spinetail (gift for another nephew), and an older Orc Boss (flat topped helmet, two clubs, another cool figure!).
All in all ... paid $117, instead of $418, a savings of $301, 72% off! Might be the best hobby deal I've ever had.
