Which always reminds me of Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, for some reason.

I'm not letting the dust settle on the latest purchase. It arrived on Saturday and I've got them all assembled by Monday. It would have been sooner but yesterday was a write off after some serious grafting resetting the store in the morning and going up and down ladders clearing Christmas decorations in the afternoon.

My memory of what was in the starter set was a bit hazy, it's only the billmen who are split with half being left handed. I've got some of the additional sets that do the same thing.
There are some shields & arms to go on after the initial painting, not sure when that will happen.
I know when to go out
I know when to stay in
Get things done

Started building my plastic Winter Russians. I'm going to need another box! I've lots of winter tanks all done just never got round to doing the infantry. Taking a tip of Ilkley Mark and snipping up a coke can for my flag waving morale influencer.

Finished(ish) and pretty high on gloo foomes.

Managed to get out of the box
12 man rifle unit incl orraficer
8 man shock unit all smg armed
6 man anti-tank assault section armed with molotovs and panzerfausts
4 man command unit
1 x sniper

I have the laying figures still spare so will make up another sniper and maybe an anti-tank rifle team, though I already have a couple.

I'll mix in some metals including my flag waver as within the shock unit.

These boxes never seem to quite add up to the number on the box, this is a 40 figure box but I always loose one or two fiddling about with arm choices etc.

I have a sprue of those, which I am going to convert into tank-riders. THey came free with the IS-2, which was a bonus.

Well, that lasted to the 10th January! For the game next week I need some mounted medieval and my Capetians won’t be ready. So I deviated into Wars of the Roses, where I only needed to paint 1 mounted figure. And I just finished that. And then started on 4 more plus a few foot. In fairness they were all undercoated - and so is the boxful I tucked under the painting table :fp:

I suppose they all count as pointy sticks.

No change there then.

What do they taste like? I'm getting bored with cake and fancy a change.
