Title: Saxons

How the hell do you loose a whole Anglo Saxon army, turned the hobby room upside down and it seems like  the whole army has done a runner.

Blimey, that's not good :(. Hope you find them somewhere soon. I have stuff spread out over several storage areas, so often it takes me a while to find what I'm looking for. Then I tend to find stuff I'd completely forgotten about :-[

I've turned the hobby room upside down and they are nowhere to be found. If I had some 10mm Norman's I would assume that they had chased them away but alas I haven't.

Mate of mine lost a SYW French army for three years. Turned out that when looking for it he had been constantly lifting it up with another box on top of it because he assumed he knew what was in the lower box.

There's an easy way to find them. buy another Saxon army from Pendraken and paint them. The missing Saxons will turn up just as you finish! ;)

It's happened to me before.  #-o

I wanted to enter them into the painting competition so I guess they were camera shy lol.

Awwwww.....That IS a sod !

When I'm making the wee men.....I often find there are a number missing.

(Then, I remember......I've put them in the chest freezer in the big barn......DOH !!)

Prep for them to fight in the Cold war perhaps ?   :)

Panic over, the Anglo Saxons have been found. They were in a smaller box under a pile of wargames illustrated mags 😁

Yeah, so happy to find the little fellas. They are actually two forces for saga as apposed to one large army. I did want to enter them into the comp but unfortunately they were painted in 2016 so won't count as recent work.

The last painting competition was in February 2016 so I believe anything painted after that is eligible

It is - that was stated quite clearly at the beginning of the comp.

Perhaps you should install some CCTV.  I think mine come out and play football when I'm in bed.

Yeah, ha ha. Over the 40 years I've been in the hobby I've accumulated so much stuff of various scales and periods there is literally a narrow path from door to painting table in the hobby room. Missus keeps telling me to get rid of stuff but I just can't bare to part with any of it. Such is the life of a gamer/modeller lol.
