The Loose Association of Wargamers

Only one? Call yourself a wargamer?

It’s so gauche to have more than one.

And these days I tend to think of myself more as a gamer funnily enough. A topic I’ve been thinking quite a bit about lately

I’ve made a small start, by painting a couple of Baron’s War horses and buying some decals from Citadel Six to try out my ‘barding’ skills. Also buying some FoW flags to extend my ‘flagging’ skills.

Pledge manager this evening, which will definitely extend my lead pile even further.
Meanwhile trying not to look at the Bob Murch 1066 Kickstarter - I have enough Normans, I really do. Even if I could give them different shields and use them as Sergeants for the Barons War. Honestly, I don’t need anymore Normans.
Stop looking at me like that Mr Landings.

I wish you hadn't mentioned the 1066 range. Rather nice. However I think the potential customs hit might be a killer... Maybe look at a few when Northstar stock them...

I think that’s the trap I will fall into.

I confess I find the Murch style castings to be hard for me to paint. Just something about the smooth style I can't get along with.

Luckily I no longer have a hankering for any early Early Medieval figures. My great garage clear out showed me that I wasn't underestimating when I said my unpainted pile of 28mm Saxons, Vikings and Normans numbers in excess of 1000 figures. (That's just the "modern" style figures accrued from the very first GB range and onwards, I have a few hundred earlier by Essex and others!).

On the other hand, your Immortality Index is quite high!

I looked at the 1066 one, but the cost is prohibitive and frankly I think Footsore do a better range

She can usually stop them with a hard stare - Paddington B-style.
