Deciding when I should get to my chaos lord on juggernaught I bought to paint for fun.

 

Might as well start him now! It seems fitting with the Chaos invasion the forum experienced!

I've been limited. Wife says I can't buy any more stuff for a year. ive got lots of stuff to paint, so this doesn't overtly bother me. However:

I still need shields for 75 dwarves, among other models I'm assuming.


I can trade for Miniatures stuff, but she wants me to disclose the entire transaction and associated messages.

What do I do?!?

 

A year, that's long...

I've made the agreement with my girlfriend to only buy stuff once a month and limit the amount I buy to a certain amount. That makes it easier to negotiate. E.g. "yeah I know it's more than X euro/dollar/etc, but I need to resupply paint/glue/missing bits/want this big bad awesome model so this won't happen for a while" is a lot easier to sell than just going "Imma buy Y worth of stuff". Plus, if nothing else you can Always buy it as 2 months worth of stuff and then skip the next month as a comprimise.

Other than that, if it's just shields, even if it's 75 of em, I'd assume you can find em cheap enough to get away with it if you ask. Just do some chores for the next month or something.

Why are you limited anyway? Running out of space?

 

Small apartment, marital issues, anger

 

Also I've brought more stuff in because it was too good to pass up when I said I wouldn't bring anything else in.

 

fun..

An option could be to use more efficient storage space. Those battlecases from GW fit plenty of stuff but take a lot less space than simply filling up shelve after shelve. Plus those boxes give enough protection to be able to put the modes in area's that'd normally be no good for storage (e.g. too moist or too much sunlight).

well don't do that

 

When you can get $400 worth of Miniatures for $80 I want yo see you turn that down. Lol.

Yeah I'm going to work on storage and organization

 

sounds like there is a catch with that good a deal

 

No catch. It was a buddy leaving the hobby

 

Maybe you can sell some stuff you don't really need/like anymore and use those funds to get new stuff.

 

Can't buy new stuff. Only Trade

 

Okay... so trade old models you don't need/want for money and trade the money for new stuff you need!

 

if she wants to see the transaction that still counts as buying. The trade would need to be with the same party. If it's a literal interpretation anyway.

 

see, having friends, told you there was a catch.

 

It is.

 

aren't there trading sites online? fairly certain I've at least seen Facebook pages for it

 

There are. Still doesn't mean I can "trade" cash for Miniatures

 

I meant, don't do any of those sites do miniature trading?

Alternative option; get a bunch of modelling clay and greenstuff and the like and start making shields

 

But it is essentially the same thing at its core. What's the difference between trading models or selling models for cast to buy new models. Same effect on the household finances.

We've gone back into a system of bartering again?
