[unofficial weekender] First of 2026

[grantinvanman]

Bought some Pestigors Command off eBay. Received Khorngor Command instead. 🤬

EBay is not what it used to be. Seller still hasn’t responded, probably have to escalate on PayPal. Grrrrr.

Contacted eBay, they don’t even send the item back to the seller (US seller, probably too expensive), so they gave me a full refund for some reason, I get to keep the wrong item.

I get to keep the wrong item.

Are they at least approximately the same value? Maybe someone is willing to do a swap?

First purchase of the year yesterday, I only went for a Sandwich at lunch and popped in the hobby shop across the walk. These will be sticking to my pledge somewhat as I want to complete my Necromunda project, which will be being used withSpace Wierdos for rules.

So far I’ve avoided snow which is in every direction around me, we did have frozen rain yesterday which turned every surface in the city into a ice rink though.

I’ve been enjoying Fallout, and those minis are great fun @Lazagram

The ones in the top photo look like Pestigor command to me @grantinvanman

I’m guessing the top photo is what the seller put on ebay and the bottom one is what he actually received in the mail?

[jamescutts 7063xp 3]

Oh, that makes sense now. I’m not sure I would have trusted that seller if thats the quality of their photos

Exactly, what I should have got, what I actually got.

So… the ongoing saga of a base for the tower I built a few weeks ago continues.

This time I tried some Daz air drying clay with the cobblestone roller I have.

Not perfect, but it’s ok. Obviously needs painting as terracota cobbles is wrong.

[grantinvanman 10502xp 1]

Spanish cobbles?

Pledge: Continue through current army projects

Have I bought new minis this year? Decidedly not. I’m going to hold off atleast until June. That should be enough time to get through my current armies, paint the commission army I will receive this weekend (SAGA is getting attention *hoots happily*) and then consider Giftmas. I may or may not be burned out on painting at that point.

@jamescutts you have an actual hobby shop within walking distance of your office ?

wouldn’t it be easier if they paid your salary to the shop and then pick whatever you want from them ? 😉

cut out the middle men as it were 😀

[grantinvanman 10502xp 2]

@limburger I used to live walking distance to the largest physical independent games store in the world, and it was good I was into other more expensive hobbies at the time. Avoided a bullet!

[jamescutts 7063xp 4]

I’ve 3 within a 5min walk @limburger and another one about 15min away

[limburger 22641xp 4]

4 within walking distance ?

must be sooo expensive to live there 🙂

Where I live there is only one … and it has mostly boardgames.
