Title: Guess what I just found ...
Post by: jimduncanuk on 31 December 2015, 10:13:47 PM
... at the bottom of the lead pile?

Wait a minute.

I was looking for the riders of a cavalry unit I had started some time ago but abandoned for some reason or other. I had found the horses already started on their painting sticks, almost finished actually so finding the riders would be a good idea.

I have about 80 or so 4 litre Really Useful Boxes so I started at the left hand side of the top row and worked along to the right. Nothing so far, same again with second row, nothing, you get the picture.

Guess what I found in the second last box of the bottom row?

The riders? No, they were in the third last box.

I found an unopened big bag of Pendraken Undead. Thirty quid they were priced so that might tell you how old they were. I'll get a few units for my Warband Undead out of them. Whoopee Doo!

Result and it's normally the very last box that you find them in!

Great find! (I have similar pleasure when I find my car keys!  :D)

I am new here (and to 10mm) -  do I understand that the bag of Pendrakens was 30£ - 44.25$ US!
I envision that in the early days they cast in gold OR the bags were really huge!
