You know, I didn't really explain exactly what cost $2,200. That was the sculpting, cutting/keying, and printing fee for the model that I'm painting. Now you know! Admittedly, the cutting and keying was not needed because we're not reproducing the model but here we are :)

My two best friends and I met in college, working at the cafeteria. We started playing Starcraft together in the computer labs at night. No chat rooms or texting for us. We sat side by side, and being able to communicate that way allowed us to kick butt on a regular basis. Now, 20 years later, one lives in Utah, one moved to Texas, and I ended up in Idaho. But we still get together online and kick butt, in Starcraft II or War Thunder. Yeah, as starving college students, the games cost a lot, but the memories and camaraderie that come from it are priceless.

HoN, probably the online game I enjoyed playing most in all my life. So many hours, around 3k games, my whole University life, so many friends met there and one of the most challenging games that require lightning fast reflexes and tactics. Thanks for bringing back all those memories. What I wouldn't give for a model like that of Sand Wraith.

Dude, I really can't think of a better reason to spend that much on a mini. I have thousands of minis, and I am not emotionally connected to any of them outside of a wargame story here and there... a warband captain that pulled off something amazing and now holds a very small special place in my heart for it. Your story has meaning.

My only wish is that I got to hear more of the details of what you were doing while painting this.
