Just picked up 32 British AWI light bobs for 20 Euros

Silly me, forgot to mention that they are Foundry figures. I think they're being repatriated from Spain as part of the Brexit negotiations.

So ten or so packs from Copplestones Barbarica range have duly been purchased to cover for the various non human figures I need. I'm not going to read CBs posts anymore

Now I'm not going to read your posts anymore!! That's the same project I'm going to have to aim for next!

Well done - most stuff I see from Spain is either useless crap, or ridiculously over-priced (even without the postage).

As it's my Academic background it has always been at the back of mind to game Viking Mythology. Dammit now you're interested you'll get it done quicker and better

I bought a bottle of Army Painter paint today. Not exactly Hold the Front Page stuff but when you take into account that I bought it in a Model Shop in Maidstone it's brilliant. A new shop has opened with so much wargaming related stuff it's finally brought the town into the 21st Century. Speaking to Mr. Propietor he says he will be stocking Vallejo paints, just like his other models shop in Rochester. Currently has loads of groundwork material, Bolt Action stuff (far too big)and a lot of Battlefront 15mm ( just about usable if ever I needed another WWII scale) so Subs is a happy bunny!

Not wargaming but couldn’t resist these tatty old Britain’s for the shelf that I found In a junk shop.

Fantastic !

1904. Nearly as old as the average Loose Ass Affiliate .

I resisted 10 infantryman in another antique shop.

Nothing unusual about a shelf in a junk shop. When did you get the toy soldiers?

I think I may have got a bit beer festivalled on Saturday because a copy of Osprey/Battlefront rules 'Nam and Elite 38 The NVA and Viet Cong dropped into my doormat. They do look mouth wateringly good rules though, at first glance they seem to be Team Yankee based and have pretty complete army lists and a basic painting guide. Peter Pig has just revamped their NAV line as well.
