They're on the schedule to be revamped a bit but we've still got the moulds here if you'd like some straightaway.  Just drop me a message and we'll get them sorted.

All this talk of fish. I knew something smelt funny.

Perhaps that should've been "smelt off" as I suspect we are well past the point of any o' this being at all "funny".

Hello Leon

A beacon of sanity in the forum  :D

In between my query and your reply I got the email that my order had been shipped so I'll have to wait patiently until my next one. It was only a passing thought I had on a Pirates of Sartosa army for To The Stronghold anyway  :D.

Cheers

Thank for the offer.

Some people like to have a go at Phil's ntionality, but I must give credit where it's due: the home-cured bacon I had one morning at breakfast in an hospitable Welsh cottage in 1984 remains my one happy memory of British cooking. It could have taken its place proudly next to the best of Italian or French charcuterie.

I think we could do with some 10mm fishmen types to allow us to create a Warband force.

They'd also do well for call of cthulhu games or as shanks, or a potential HoTT army.

I bought some really good 'meltable' resin pellets last year for making water features - but it also makes great 'dripping slime' with the addition of some green/yellow ink

Could well be.

I am a very foolish fond old man,

And, to deal plainly,
I fear I am not in my perfect mind.
