Hi All

Am I the only sorry bunny looking at the new Mongol figures and thinking about how to convert them for 20th century use? ;D ;D ;D

No matter if I am - been there before.

Nomonhan, late WW2, RCW, BoB, Pulp, might have to get some and see what can be done:-





Yet another use for gers/yurts  :)



Cheers

That's a good plan.

Mmm, let's also have a football team with the new Roman sculpts.

Awww, now you're just being silly...... instead of using lateral thinking like myself.  :D :D :D

Football team though....... maybe you could give some 8th Army figures a paint job for a VBCW football team :-\ :-\

Hmmm.... Captain from the 8th Army command, Sweeper - Vickers MMG, Central defenders  - Boys AT, any other thoughts on what could be used?

I prefer alternatively creative.

I wanted to put a balista on the sidecar but it wouln't fit so I had to settle for a crossbow  :(

What do you put up against Mongols on motorbikes?

Hell's Angels on horseback? Huns in Hummers? Pechenegs on pogo sticks? ... no ... Centurions in Centurions!!!!

Is that a wargamers euphamism?  ;D

Others could be

"Would you like to see my Pilum"

"I'd like to show her what a viking does best"

"They must be 9pdrs"

"Come up and see my painted figures"

" I' bet she would throw a good 6 "

" Would  you like to play in my dungeon" (appparently this is how sixsideddice got to gether with the lovely Mrs Six)  ;).

"You would have some fun moulding that in green stuff"
