I gave my one test box of Strelets to EB as I went off the idea.... Are you painting them as Imagies?

Should've mentioned, EB very kindly supplied me with metal flag bearers, and your box if Strelets. They'll be imagish, I think. Having looked, the Strelets claim to be 24mm too, do they won't stand out too much anyway. Might just paint them as the box art. Or not.

A little early pressie to myself.

Likely to be my virtual vappa entries.

Around 200 Dwarves from the GW late ‘90s early noughties range.

Wow, that's a few bob right there!

Nah, got them for next to nothing from a mate. About a fifth of the EBay price. Think was just glad to see them go to a good home

Great result then!

Stuck in another order for Eureka SYW French and Prussians.

On a sadder note, a chap from the club is suffering from dementia brought on by Parkinson's, so has decided to sell his book collection. So I went down to his place today, had a good chat and came away with three carrier-bags full; some really useful books, some Ospreys to replace ones I'd foolishly loaned and some books purely for the nostalgia value (Peter Gilder's 'Leipzig 1813' book for Osprey, Henri Lachouque's 'Waterloo' & Funcken's 'Lace Wars' vols 1 & 2 being the stars of the show) and a small Avalon Hill Waterloo boardgame I'd not seen before. If anyone's in West Wales and wants to have a browse, drop me a PM and I'll put you in touch.

That's a real shame to hear. Glad those books have gone to a good home, as it's one of my fears; that when I drop off the twig it would be a shame to see all the collections just be dumped.

I've been purchasing bits and pieces, Early Saxons from Warlord Games formerly the Saxon Games range, plus transfers from LBMS (yet to arrive), to finish my Sub-Roman British.

I recently picked up these classic Napoleonics courtesy of EBs Emporium.



I will now be mostly doing Prussians next year.

And I'm sure they'll look very special when you've done with them.
