Book & Paints

So, I got the "Blood for the Blood God" paint and I got my first box of Easterling Commanders, and my first two Easterling War Priest cavalrymen.

However, I did not get the Desolation of Smaug strategy battle game expansion book, which was my #1 desired Games Workshop product this year. But I will not give up on having them. Luckily, I also got more than enough gift money to get this book myself. But I also have paint related obligations for my army that I almost forgot about:

I need to restock on the blackest black, which in my case is Abaddon Black. I also need to add the Base Paints Screaming Bell and Leadbelcher to my stock in order to implement the painting method I have finalized based on the current Citadel Paint System. This means undercoating with Base Paints, "washing" with Shade ones, highlighting with Layer ones, and finishing with Glaze Paints.

I am extremely thankful for what I have received, but I am also lucky to be able to compensate for what I have not received...
