Well.....it's the morning after the night before so I hope everyone had a great time  8)

2016 has opened well with the arrival of the latest PM order with the last of our 1914 and 1917 stuff yesterday afternoon....a few more guns for a couple of batteries that my grandfather was associated with (4.5" Howitzers and 10pdr Mountain Gums) and some HQ figures to build enough Divisional and Brigade HQ's for Germans and the BEF and Paul's desert forces.

Also got some PM Pontoon bridges and some FPW cassions to use as the basis for a couple of German pontoon wagons. After a quick play it looks like they will come out perfectly with a bit of conversion  ;)

After that onto.....finishing off lots of other stuff......not starting anything new......yeah right as the beer ad here in NZ goes  :)

Happy new year to all the Gentlemen of the Forum.

2015 wasn't too bad. Not great, but not a raging disaster.

Lots of Waterloo stuff, a little Agincourt and Gallipoli.

What's coming up in 2016? I have made some predictions.

    * Techno will continue his self-whittling. By the end of the year the little finger on his left hand will look like the Archbishop of York.
    * Dave is hospitalised for two days after removing the first Maus from the casting machine. (Resin, Dave, resin.)
    * Lemmey will break his painting finger in a bizarre accident involving a cat, a coconut and a gusset. He will take up throat singing and become youtube sensation with his covers of Motorhead tracks.
    * There will be a photo of the Pendraken staff put on the forum.  
    * Pendraken will produce Aztecs. FK will never be heard of again.
    * Westmarcher will be arrested for Penguin smuggling after an anonymous tip, just as soon as I get his address to give the police.  
    * d_Guy become a Major General.
    * Tawa will become a Elf-mage.
    * A female will join the forum.
    * Leon will watch a series of management DVDs in order to enhance Pendraken productivity. Unfortunately, he picks two series of "The Office".

Obviously some of these are a bit far fetched - a female on the forum!

Happy 2016 chaps, happy 2016.

Happy New Year to All wherever you are.

Most inconvenient this festive stuff, upsetting my painting schedules no end. Why can't we get it done and dusted and out of the way at some more convenient time considering the 'universal wargamer'.

Next question, what is a universal wargamer?

Happy New Year to y'all!
Just 22 minutes to go here on the old one.
Oh wait... 21 minutes...

Cheers!

Happy new year all.
For me it is the start of a new year in a new country. Missing the old mates and bonfire we sit around each NYE, but I have new friends and new games to play up here in the Far North so looking forward to that. Also the lack of handy shops and games shows will SHOULD limit the spending on new projects and allow me to finish some in the pile  :D

I hope you all get what you deserve from life in 2016 and have some fun doing it  :)

Cheers

Thanks for helping to keeping me relatively sane over the past 12 months. (Making me giggle....and being such knowledgeable chaps.)
It's a real pleasure to be part of this great forum.
