I'll be there with a 10mm 1859 game. I think about 99% of the figures will be Pendraken.

Why only 99%? Traitor!

Just got that one now, you'd sent it to one of the Forum emails, so Matt had to forward it onto us.

I really am not computer savvy - definitely born 30 years too early for them. Still can't see the point of an i-pad!!

Easiest thing for show orders is using the 'Contact Us' button on the website, that one comes straight through to our Inbox, and I can reply direct.

Nice day out overall, great day for Minibits as well.  We managed to chat to a load of Forum folk, Bishop Lord and Dour Puritan among others. As an extra bonus, the sun was shining as we drove home, which was nice!

We were right in the middle, big flag flying?!   :D

And one of two 10mm games on show, a WWII game, which I think was the Loughborough chaps?

And the other was an 1859 setup if memory serves, organised by the Liverpool Wargamers, including the Forum's own Dour Puritan:

That's it for a while now, as we take a break from the shows until August, when we'll be off north to the Claymore show in Edinburgh.

Oh! I don't see how I could possibly have misled you!    O:-)

Whilst I remember "where's my bloody Centurion?" Actually, I think I'm going off them. T35 is looking good though.

Had to colour correct. Damned fluorescent lights play havoc with the white balance.

The lights at Phalanx are weird - really yellow, when you walk in you have to pause for a moment to let your eyes adjust.

I missed it this year, but it's always a bugger buying paint by sight.

You must have better photoshop skills than me, I couldn't get the colour right at all when I was playing with it.
