Title: Wonderful looking WW1 East Africa Pendraken stuff
Post by: jaztez on 15 October 2024, 07:17:00 PM
There is a really lovely WW1 EA collection on Ebay uk, a bargain for someone with the cash!

The link doesn't work, but I managed to find them. 

They are very nicely based and painted. But it's really not that many figures (or bases) for the price.

Hi Fred

I thought the same as you on the number of bases but it turns out that if you scroll through all the photos the last two show the entire collection in plastic trays. There are well over 100 bases. So the pricing seems competative.

They are nicely done!

The first time I highlighted the above link it didn't work because I missed the "A" on the last line :)

It does work.

Very nice indeed, East Africa is a interesting WW1 theatre which would suit the rules we use (If the lord spares us) very well, but I have not had my 1914 BEF troops on the table for some considerable time.

Instead I seem to be spending a fair amount of time in the Emerald Isle instead lately :)

Maybe if I can catch a leprechaun and convince him to hand over his pot of gold I could afford to bid for them, and actually afford to ship them to the far side of the world  :-\  8->

If you do catch that leprechaun, I know someone who would be willing to paint up the German opponents :)

Thats a BIG "if" Paul  :)

Though the current spot price of gold is NZ$4,428.26 per ounce, so would only need a few bars  ;D

I see I've been misunderstanding what the "Irish Bars" all over every major city are all about.
