I was out with my wife, celebrating my birthday.
When we arrived home, there was a package awaiting me.
First it was inspected by Luna.

She wasn't very convinced it was safe.
Chaos stopped by to give it a look.

He determined the box was safe.
Upon opening I was pleasantly surprised.

DeathTroopers and A Hand Sculpted Inquisitional Weirdo!
The detail is awesome, I hope to bring an awesome paint job to it!
Unfortunately, I'm not exactly sure which WI Goon sent it.
Thank You!

Happy TGSS! I was worried when the USPS tracker wouldn’t properly track things, but I’m glad they arrived safe and brought some cheer!

I hope the troopers aren’t a duplicate or a weird option, I just found what was available at the LGS and which looked Empire-y and (probably) useful in a game. I’d love to see whatever paint ends up on the Inquisitorial Dude, because seeing paint on stuff I’ve sculpted is always the best part of making miniatures for others.

Tomorrow should be a good day for priming, so keep an eye on this thread for the results.
Also, I don't have any Deathtroopers in my Empire force, thus, good call!
Thank you again!

It's The White Castle and a really nice leather cup, possibly for dice? It has a raccoon design embroidered on it I didn't notice until after the picture. I really like how this game looks, I had never heard of it and my wife immediately made a joke about it being about serving burgers. Thanks Santa!

I was tricked with a surprise gift! I was receiving my own Amazon delivery, but one of the boxes was gift-wrapped! On the inside.



Why, that sounds like it's an unexpectedly large gift?



Indeed it is!

Ok so it looks like my order i posted about is going to drag rear end and probably not get there before the end of the year even though I got support to get off their rear end and ship it, so I'll have to make an emergency purchase to see if it will get there in time. :argh:

You're welcome!

And yes, that is a leather dice cup. I carved and painted the raccoon on there based on your forum tags.

Two more gifts have arrived from the astonishingly generous Ibn Tumart!



Jokes on you, I've spent several years building up an immunity to chaumurky.



I can't get a picture to do this justice, but it's soooo cool. It's the entire map of Arrakis engraved on a pint glass. First thing I did was check for the Oh Gap/Old Gap typo. It's Old Gap on this.




We'll it's a good thing I save it for last! It is last, right? If there's anything more coming you either got a great deal or are addicted to gift giving.



Oh, wonderful! My wife offered to let me borrow her colored pencils, but it's so much nicer to have my own.

Once again, thank you so much! You really took the "anything Dune related" brief and knocked it out of the park.

Yeah we've got a couple two three of those out there, seems to happen every year: vendors who are unclear on the concept of "it's christmas, you gotta fuckin' ship things with alacrity" and leave an order hanging for ages.

I'm going camping tomorrow night to watch the Geminids so it'll be close to 48 hours from now before I can process more TGSS stuff. Keep posting and emailing though, and I'll get to things as soon as I'm back!

That was my emergency gift, you have a second one coming tomorrow (?) I was originally going to get you and it looks like it showed up in your state around noon today.

You said scifi books and I thought hard about what you might not have, but was also good. I really love that series so I went with that one. A new book in the series just came out recently too

Thanks! I figured when I saw emergency gift in the thread (and I keep an eye on informed delivery), it was me, and I tried to let Leperflesh know if it was for me, that it wasn't necessary, but thank you very much! I think I read the first one a while back, but I definitely haven't read them all, so it'll give me something to read, which is always a plus (especially since Duke is upset that his other human (my brother) is overseas and won't let me spend long periods of time at the computer, because he can't lay against me there ;)

This clearly didn't work. But, you can tell it won't, because there's a "gallery" in the URL.

What you do on the PC is upload an image to imgur, then on the gallery page, hover your mouse over the image to see the "..." and then click "Get share links"


Then pick the BBCode (Forums) row and click "Copy Link"
Then paste into your post box on SA. Youll get something like this:
code:
[img]https://i.imgur.com/LWKwgRv.png[/img]
Note that the URL is i.imgur.com and then a string. If you see anything other than i dot imgur dot com you've got the wrong URL.

To be nice, edit the "img" tag to be a "timg" tag instead, which will make the image smol but clickable to be big.
