Title: HELLO FROM FRANCE
Post by: bradpitre on 11 December 2014, 04:59:54 PM
Hi everyone !!
I just realized that I was not even introduced myself, forgive the rudeness (and my very bad English !!)
I call Eric, I'm French and I live close to Switzerland ..... I'm 50, and I am passionate about figures since .............. .... very long
painter rather than a player, I discovered the 10mm there a few years ago and I fell crazy about the quality of these small things
I practice almost all historical periods, but my favorite is the Napoleonic (yes, I am a french !!! ;)) but believe it or not, I have a soft spot for Wellington's army, do not tell my friends !!!!,  besides, and i looking forward to the arrival of new lines devoted to it

I take this message to congratulate you on the excellent quality of what I have seen here

see you soon
eric

Hiya welcome to the forum. And there is not much wrong with your English if I can understand you! Do Mongols feature anywhere in your collection?

Thank you for your leniency !!!
If I understand your question, I do have a Mongol army in preparation for painting, but it is not with Pendrakens figurines, with a few civilians, general and Yurts ...... painting is expected next year .......

Hello and welcome.

Your English is better than most of our French.

Do you favour Wellington's Peninsula Army or the Waterloo one?

But he has to shout. He's in France, it's a long way from Middlesborough. :)

Hi Eric, welcome to the forum. I suspect you've already got an idea of what you've let yourself in for here! Hang your sanity on the coat rack with the rest and enjoy the good-natured and erudite lunacy :)

You'll get no French from me unless I'm on French soil, so, orright ace an' welcome to the forum la'. FPW and Italian Wars are major interests of mine. Last night my Louis XII army got stuffed yet again and Louis was captured. Merde! oops, a bit of French.  :d

Welcome to the forum Eric. 

Its a little mad here and lots of banter.. But its all meant in the best possible taste. You will soon get to knoe all the "in" jokes.

We will not tel your freimnds about your fondness of Wellington, provided you do not ask for Meso american ranges to be added!
