Those knights are reiksguard models, right? but looks like blazing sun. Love them.

Kroxigor are full of character, great figures.  :DThere are also some warmonger landschenettes in the back. great!

Cracking stuff again, Fred !

Some of the Knights are the blazing sun figures, the rest I think are the normal ones.  They came as part of a job lot from ebay.

14,000 views broken today!!

In celebration (not really  ) I have placed a small order with Pendraken! A few more Lizardmen to round out units, and some bases to stick them to.

Good excuse!

Congratulations, always something interesting to view here

Played a game on Friday - our home brew Fantasy rules - tried lots of new things, some of which worked pretty well.

And on Sunday a couple of quick games of Songs of Blades and Heroes with my daughters - who wanted to use 10mm figures this time, rather than the 28mm we had used in the past - this led to some rather strong units, and my smallest daughter's Lizardmen convincingly beat both the eldest's Centaurs and my Mongols!!

Not much time for painting at the weekend, or so far this week.

Managed to do a bit of basing on the large lizardmen, both over the weekend and tonight - I think these are pretty much done

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Very nice indeed

[toxicpixie]

Cracking! Very swampy jungle looking

[Techno]

That works extremely well, Fred !
Cheers - Phil.

bases are fabulous! are the flowers from Magister millitum?

[fred.]

Thanks chaps.

The flower tufts ( and small bushes ) are from Tajima miniatures - they are very nice and are very quick at delivering.

The more upright bits are cut up aquarium plants.

Is there a special adjective to describe waiting for a Pendraken parcel?

[petercooman]

doormatitis?

That's the thing where you check the doormat under your letterbox everytime you hear something fall 

[fred.]

As I'm out during the day, its more the quick check to see if a parcel is sitting on the corner of my desk, when I get home.

The worst is that I check most 2 days after placing the order, which is obviously no time for the stuff to get here.

There is definitely something about ordering new stuff - even if 80% of the order is extras of stuff you already have.
