I won! I won!

Holy crap, I totally won that prize draw I posted about in a previous entry! This is an especially soothing balm since just yesterday I got effing sniped on an eBay auction I thought I was going to win, a set of Citadel giaks from their "Giak Attack" boxed set, part of the limited Lone Wolf range put out in conjunction with the game books. I've been after those figures for a couple years now, and for once the rate on the auction was reasonable enough that I could put in a bid without having to take out a personal loan from my bank first. And then some jackass came in at literally the last second (damn you, eSnipe!) and stole my precious giaks out from under me.

Ah, but now I have an even bigger pile of vintage Citadel goodness coming my way! And I'll get those giaks one day. One day...

Minis Giveaway (No, Not Here...)

Seems like it's becoming a thing for miniatures-gaming bloggers to give away some of their backlogged figures in observance of some milestone or another being reached. I have no problem with this trend (and may take part in it myself some day if I happen to reach a suitably celebratory point), but I rarely see items that I can truly justify adding to my collection.

Ah, but Mike of Trouble at T'Mill has finally tempted me with today's prize, and so I'm putting in a vote to try and win some vintage, pre-slotta Citadel figures. They'd go great with my growing "Magnamund" collection, of which I'll probably write about one of these days.

At any rate, head on over and check out the contest. Only, if you sign up for today's prize, be sure to plump for Commissar Yarrick - those "Brettonians" are mine!
