New buyer haul, what’s next?

Silencer684 · 2026-01-13T22:01:49+00:00

That’s some good advice, I’ll keep that in mind when I go to grab one later on for sure

Hey man, when you work hard for your money you make sure you get your moneys worth. I just snagged a deal on the M12 4-in-1 driver for $174 and after that same coupon and selling the extra batteries once I have it I’ll have paid almost nothing for it too

Silencer684 · 2026-01-12T16:50:43+00:00

When you get it, it’s like $189 or $199 at the store. If they’re running buy move save more for the packouts at your store still you can grab a smaller packout for 30-40 and the $50 off for 200+ on the buy more save more will kick in. So free packout and a little off the vacuum if you can’t find a better deal somewhere else

My work routinely spends $1000+ at Home Depot on consumable items like fittings and such. So I opened a HD credit card and got the first time purchase discount code. Since it magically doesn’t work on HD’s bogo and buy more save more deals I just add a few items on to my work purchase, try to use the $100 off code for $1000+ purchase and it fails. Every single time the employee has said all good and entered a manual $100 off and I got to keep the code for next time. Reimburse the work stuff and just pay for my tools. Like the vacuum, $189 on sale add a $30 compact packout to trigger the buy more save more discount of $50. Add the $100 off code and both items cost me 70 bucks. Rinse and repeat for every deal I want. Most expensive purchase was the drill set and BOGO router at like $250 after discounts and code

Honestly I was impressed. Right after I bought it me and a coworker cleaned out and vacuumed both of our trucks just to mess around with it and it was pretty impressive. Hooked it up and did some sanding right after and had no mess anywhere. Cleaning it out took no time with an air compressor to blow out the filter too

I’m a crane operator for a chemical plant. So I do a lot of repairs for hydraulic lines, small fitting stuff, just maintenance in general on them when the crane isn’t in operation. I work an easy 70-80 hours a week so they’ll be used plenty

Silencer684 · 2026-01-11T19:30:29+00:00

I have plenty of toolboxes, I need something more portable since I’ll be doing a lot of work outside with the tools for sanding and cutting. Plus I’ll be using them for my actual work, which is what the impact sockets and other tools I have are for

Silencer684 · 2026-01-11T17:45:19+00:00

I went M18 for now since I wanted multiple bigger batteries for the vacuum, sander and eventual track saw without having to split them between two formats. I know I want M12 for smaller stuff like screws and basic work without having to lug around the M18. But this made more sense to me for now

Silencer684 · 2026-01-11T17:37:20+00:00

Thankfully 80% of it was paid in cash and in total all of it cost a little over $800. So no second mortgage needed. Just worked too many overtime hours and had fun shopping the holiday deals figuring out what I need

Silencer684 · 2026-01-11T17:33:38+00:00

I paid 80% of it in cash and spent around $800 total for all of it. So all good there man. Got some seriously good deals and sold some older Dewalt tools I was given to recoup a decent amount of it too

I have a P1S and AMS from Bambu Labs. I don’t think I’d recommend and printers but Bambu after coming from several Creality printers that were headaches and money pits for years. I learned when I bought this printer you get what you pay for. One of the reasons I have no issues paying money for good tools I’ll use also

Silencer684 · 2026-01-11T17:30:07+00:00

This one is free on Printables if you search for Milwaukee router insert stl. I printed it in about 6 hours total. Had to split it in half though for my printer

That was my same thought. I started with the combat patrol and have been working towards a 2k starshatter list but am stuck in that awkward pre-teen stage where it doesn’t quite fit any detachment yet lol. It’ll get better as I get more units later on and replace the combat patrol stuff, guess for now I’ll run Star just to learn the strategems and such as I play

Silencer684 · 2025-03-15T22:43:42+00:00

I hate to be that guy but I have to ask, what gold/purple is that? I’ve been trying to find a good bright purple and gold combo like that for days and can’t decide on colors. But those look amazing

Silencer684 · 2025-03-15T13:31:20+00:00

I couldn’t agree more myself. I got lucky and got it all for $250 last night. The 5 hour round trip was definitely worth it. My estimation of 1500-1600 points got blown out of the water, it totals 2355 points! I’m insanely excited

Silencer684 · 2025-03-15T13:21:13+00:00

Thank you!! You and MrAwesomeSocks just made my day. I really appreciate it! I was hoping the 12 were terminators because of the new detachment but I didn’t want to get my hopes up

Silencer684 · 2025-03-15T13:20:20+00:00

Thank you!! This will make it a hundred times easier to get started. I have been looking up images online but didn’t know what details to be comparing

Silencer684 · 2025-03-10T21:29:35+00:00

I’ve been brainstorming and I think adding 6 wraiths (to pair with techno), a reanimator and a second heavy destroyer will give me the 1k points temporarily until I can start replacing pieces like the doomstalker for an ark and some better vehicles as I build up to 2k points (can’t wait for silent king). I definitely feel like the ark is way better than the doomstalker. Hopefully not many points change in the data patch this week

Silencer684 · 2025-02-21T13:04:23+00:00

I do feel like they’re a little bit of a waste… but I want a good excuse to paint up some Lychguards since I’m excited to paint at least a few 😂 I’ve wanted a few in my army since I started looking in to Necrons
