Thankfully, with sculptors bills, any chance of 28mm purchases have gone this month. The plan is 15mm SYW only, if I buy any at all.
Me too, I'm sticking with my placcy warlord Caesarian and Newline Republicans and holding out for the Inf-Inf supplement. Aventine have suspended their EIR range, which has just saved me £100.

Today saw a splendid lesson in how not to sell stuff on Ebay. You should always show everything in the first photo and itemise things later. Don't rely on putting 28mm bolt action, Konflict 47, U.S Army, Multiple Items, see Listing for details in the text. The first picture showed 4 sprues of infantry and 2 weapon sprues. At a starting price of £20 a lot of people looked no further.
The other photos showed an M8 Greyhound, a Sherman, Bolt Action dice and a set of the Konflikt47 US armoured infantry. Not a bad haul for £24.10 including postage.

Victrix must be rubbing their hands with glee.

Or hand sanitizer, whichever's easier.

I'm thinking of going 15mm to get into the game as my 28mm Army won't be covered until book 3 :(

Although I have some Warlord Romans I don't fancy adding two 28mm armies to my long, long painting list (Not Kanban no siree).

Good idea and I've seen a few fb posts from people who are doing 15mm. Definately more cost effective.

No 54mm yet though.

COTOTS is also very cost effective.

More warbases stuff, though annoyingly, thanks to the affluence of incohol on the first order, I had to go back and add a second order, paying postage twice, as I missed some stuff, and then of course had to add some more stuff to the second order to make it worthwhile. Some 28mm USMC from Colonel Bills, MMG, flamethrowers etc to add to the 1st Corps USMC Platoon, various ancient supernumeraries from Irregular. Hopefully tomorrow will bring the next warbases package.. and I can settle down to a lot of painting.

Oh, and VB, red wine and a Foundry order? What’s not to like?
They have Victoria Bitter in Edinburgh?
