Pics - It Happened

By FiendishDevil, in Star Wars: Armada

Im more interested in the extra fighters, movement tool, dice, etc though myself.

I don't know if I was too dense excited with anticipation, but I was surprised to find that the Core Set ONLY has X-Wings and TIE Fighters (With Luke and Howlrunner as the hero options). All the other types of squadrons will have to come from the fighters expansion. Fortunately I was plenty excited and pre-ordered those as well.

Was I the only one who missed that?

I dont understand what you are trying to say? Are you saying I should prioritise my real world relationships over Armada.. is that even possible? :)

No, NO ONE is saying that....heh

My girl sees my huge miniatures collection (X-WIng, 40k, Infinity, Warmachine)and logically knows it costs money. What she doesn't know is how much it all really costs!

When I bought the Titanfall PC Collectors edition, I had it shipped to work. And the large 18" Titan model sits on my desk at work, never to be brought home!

I imagine she thinks it cost me around $80 instead of the actual $250.

But I pay my bills on time and have money in our account. I budget well and keep a $250/mo personal spending budget (gaming, eating out, etc).

So for me, I'll be taking my lunches to work all month!

Yeah, my relationship is built on a foundation of lies, too.

Not lies, just omissions...I don't tell her every time I poop...Its the same right?.....right?

My girl (whom I love) sees some value in miniatures because it is a physical item. With the rare exception of tournaments or events, I always give time her a priority.

Occasionally I have bailed on a tournament because she had an unexpected day off, or she just really wanted to spend time together.

A few shows of 'you are more important to me than a game' go a long way!

But she cannot wrap her head around spending money on digital purchases. She thinks $60 is waaaaay to much for a video game! I tried to explain that $60 for 120 hours of gameplay (DragonAge: Inquisition) is a very good ratio.

Her mind exploded when we started talking about the costs of ships in Star Citizen!

And then you find out she has an FFG forum account..

I wish I had someone in my life to nag me about my ridiculous purchases :(

Just kidding, obviously.

Never wish to be nagged. It's just...not good for mental health.

I sell my plasma twice a week to pay for my plastic fix. Yeah for prostituting my bodily essence!

Imho (and risking a force choke from FFG), a 2nd Core is pretty much a waste of money unless you absolutely want double+ of everything.

I've got a VSD, GSD and a TIE Squadrons Box on reserve, because all the options.
