Yes, I think that is out of the question.

Thats easy, Buy her an opponent to one of your armies so you can play together (no not like that you filthy minded lot).  Offer to paint and base them for her. then you have an excuse to paint all over Christmas.  :d

Mind you if you do follow my advice you wont be getting any use out of your other equipment for some time!  :D

Well, having thought a bit about a token present from the kids, I've just ordered a Del Prado train off ebay. I started off scratch building one to plans but frankly lost interest some time ago. So for less than a Tenner I get a train that is perfect for a bit of conversion for use in the AVBCW, as well as WWII. So now can't wait for Santa to arrive :D.

Having been constantly told by my two kids that my Amazon Wish List "Is so boring", I sent them a Pendraken Wish List. Bingo, now every birthday and Christmas, they don't have to scratch their heads or worry about buying more boring DVDs and books. Dear old dad gets what he wants and they find it less of a chore.

Heh! Solved it guys! Got a lucky break. Wife was telling me about something she had bought. Quick as a flash I said I was going to buy her that for her Christmas. She's going to hand it over to me for wrapping. Christmas present solved!  :-bd <:-P

P.S. Don't ask me what it is ... (what? me? remember what she said? give me a break .....) :-\

How about a painted and based Pendraken figure of Frederick the Great? Seriously, I'll try and come up with something.  :-\  All the best.  :)

Mrs Orcs said she wanted boots!  My mind went "Thigh length boots"  :P :P

Trouble was I thought out loud.  :)   Got very hard Stare from Mrs Orcs, so she ordered some rather boring normal boots that I will give her.
