When it rains, it pours...
Hours after I order the infantry for my nascent Necron force ('cause hey, it comes to a total of 20GBP for all of it, and my Epic painting queue is pretty much clear, so why not?) my old friend from Fukuoka replies to my e-mail of a few weeks ago. See, he's the guy that I sold my Tyranids to back in the day, and I got in touch a bit ago asking if he wanted to sell them back to me, since there isn't an Epic scene in Fukuoka any more, and selling them has been the only sale of miniatures I've ever really regretted.
So now I have both Necrons and Tyranids in the mail, and will have to find room in my hobby budget for the 20,000 yen it'll all set me back* (not to mention room in my hobby cabinet for all the minis). Should keep me occupied painting though! (Pics when I get started.)
Fortunately, this shouldn't affect my ability to buy a shiny new Zuzzy mat in time for the beginning of December, heh. (It does, unfortunately, put a crimp in my plans to finish up 1500 points of FoW by the end of the year.

)
*Edit: Holy cow, I just checked eBay. Looks like selling off my single extra Dominatrix (I have two and there's now a hard limit of 1 per army) could well finance a significant chunk of the cost of the whole army.
