Heroica

I got these for my daughter to play with me when she gets older. I wanted to make sure I got them now before they stoped makeinf them like hero quest when I was a kid. I seems like a fun game that you can customize and you are encouraged to make new rules as you go. It you have kids I think it would be a fun one to start them gaming.

5 down

5 down and 1 to go the only 1 missing from series 2 now is daredevil. Most likely will have to buy series 1 online. I have them lined up on the dash in my van to keep me company. I now have 3 Dr. Dooms, 2 Cyclopses and a thing in doubles if any one wants them.

Marvel buildables

I was at pizza hut the last week before our extended hospital stay picking up a pizza before I stopped by my local comic store; when I came across these. I keep looking over at them going I don’t need that, I really don’t need that. So I went to the comic store to pick up the latest Auqaman book and when I came back to pick up my pizza I dropped my dollar in and out popped out a Dr. Doom. How can you not like these? I have since went back and picked up Cyclopes and the Thing along with a few duplicates.

Here are the figures that comes in series one that is now discontinued.

And here is series two that is out now.

All can be found on ebay as a complete set, but what’s the fun in that.

If any one is iterested in my extras I will sell them for the dollar that I bought them for plus shipping. If you have some I dont I will also trade.

Day 5

We have been in two different hospitals now over the course of a week and it has been a long week. We think we have it figured out and are hitting it with a metric ton off meds. The Gracie is drowsy and cuddly today probably because we are pumping her full of anti-biotic, anti viral and anti fungal cocktails. The kido sat on my lap last night and watched star wars (or at least 20 minutes before she fell asleep) with me and was pretty transfixed. I am sure it was the drugs. I am ready for her to come home.

 

On arrival at the second hospital which we only agreed to come to because they had the iv meds she needed; we were told we don’t have that med. Thus begun world war 3.5. it turns out they did have it they just wanted to make there own diagnosis of the situation. But this is not the way to great 4 people who what to see their little girl come home. It took hour but now she is getting the works pumped in and should be on the road to recovery.

Sick Pumpkin

My little girl is in the hospital with an infected eye. It looks like she was attacked by a wild monkey or something. It is a very helpless feeling when you child is sick. You have to help people who are trying to make them better by making them hurt more. You want to say no, no go away but instead you are holding your baby down as accomplices in the act. When I was still drawing blood from pediatric patients the parents who always say  as I was leaving the room; “the bad man is leaving”. That always made me upset I am trying to help you child get better and you are talking bad about me as I walk out the door.  Now I am the parent and I still feel like the bad man. They had to do a CT scan and even though she was sedated and did not suffer at all during it was very hard for me to watch.

New Old Warhammer figures

I came across a great deal on some Out Of Print Empire figures. I have been putting together an army of units that I remember from the late 80’s and early 90’s when I started collecting.

Hero's and command

Mounted wizard that matches the one I have on foot score

 I think this is an OOP Ludwig Schwarzhelm

I think this is a OOP Kurt Helborg

Cool standard bearer I am definatly putting in my army.

A Hafling comand unit with one spearman. I dont think they have been used the in the game for a while. I am thinking about using them as comand and champions of my halbard units.

Vintange Hell Blaser and crew

This is wha made me jump all over the post. I have been looking for more OOP Halbardiers for my army. It cam with over 40 halbard figures so I have enough for a huge block or 2 smaller ones. I have been looking for spearmen also but Ill use these for now.

And I got 2 original boxes (the real box is not this out of focus). I posted the other stuff that came with this lot below, most of which I am not keeping. Not that its not cool I just want other stuff.

Empire units

I picked up some cool empire units off of craigslist for a great price. So all the stuff I am not using I put on ebay. Check it out

 Here is the Empire war wagon i remember this from when I first started palying.

Some Knights of the White Wolf really cool looking models. It would be cool to keep them and use them as champions in my knight units.
