Can I change my mind again?

Could I denote my £100 to everyone at Pendraken, for a few drinks and nibbles in gratitude to them maintaining this last tenuous grasp I have on something approaching sanity?

Since I'm never going to win there's no point in counting my chickens. However, if by some miracle I did win I suspect that Das Reich and 5th Guards Tank would come in for yet more bods and ironmongery, or maybe 14th Army, or the 1866 Prussian 2nd Division, or the Saxon Reiter Division, or maybe something entirely new.....

Ypu could send each of us a centurion   :D

I'm with Hertsblue in feeling that any idea of my winning this is pure fantasy but since it's fantasy I'll say I'd trade the £100 back to Leon in exchange for bumping the Goliath up a couple of rungs on the production schedule ladder :)

.. or failing that I'd get a Late Roman WMA army or maybe get back into ACW or try ECW as it's a period I've always had an interest in but never really gamed or maybe I'll branch out from WW2 Eastern Front to the Pacific (USMC vs Japanese at Guadalcanal maybe) or ... or ... or maybe it's just as well I won't win since clearly I'll never use it because I'll be torn so many ways on what to buy  ;D ;D ;D

Could we exchange if for Techno's sculpting time? ;)

Just taking a horse & musket army, £100 will get you 25 packs. That's 750 figures.

Which means I'll still have to throw in another £100 or so if I want to something really big! ;D

Thats the evil genius of the Dark Lord.  Give you soemthing, but make sure its costs you much much more in the long run.!  :)

You do all realise That Leon and his many Clones can delete posts!

That means Leon can control when we reach the elusive 100,000 posts so as Leon can warp time in this way is he either  a God or a Time Lord.  :-\ :-\

Actually does that make the clones Gods or time lords too?


So is Pendraken Towers Valhalla?

Does that include the time mixing up the putty ? ;)

Is it a sort of Rolf Harris thing?  6 minutes in and it looks like nothing, then a dab here, a blob there and hey presto! A Byzantine archer!

I'll be round later.

Actually Phil is like magneeto from x-men. But instead ofmetal he can manipulate putty.

HE just makes some gestures with his hands and uses his mind to shape them. It's only a matter of moments.

Don't tell Leon and Dave though, i hear he's paid per hour  :O) :O) 8-} 8-} :-$ :-$ :-$

You mean that wasn't you earlier ? :-SS

Just means he will stop being square, or that he'll eat too much.

Not so clear  :P :P

I dont know the answer to this but...

How many sculpts/moulds could you get made for 100 quid?
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Last Hussar

ECW Foot.  I'm painting generic armies 60% or so will be in red, the rest in Blue, Green, some yellow, and white

I need 3 command, 29 pike, and 40-44 musket per unit

so

1 bags Command (=10 units)
10 bag pike
14 bags musket

25 bags x £4

Wow - that's lucky!  I should win, just for that! (really - I had no idea until I typed and did the maths as I did so)
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.
