I was going to buy a painting station thingy so I can sit by the drawing room fireplace to paint rather than light a fire in my study just for the odd half hour. In the end I just bought a teatray with handles and a 1" high surround from Dunelm for a fraction of the price at Hobbycraft.

oh and the Osprey on the Paraguayan War and the Warhammer Sigmar partwork. I can do three things...honest!

Call yourself a real wargamer? You should have fallen for the marketing bollox and bought an overpriced mdf kit! Amateur.

He can’t really call himself a proper Wargamer unless had has a Games Workshop (TM) one.

A few hundred MDF bases cut to my exact requirements from Supreme Littleness and a metric tonne of magnets. That should be my lifetime supply ;)
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

A piffling amount! Have you had bad news from the vet or is it your usual underestimate?
