Mordheim is great but combat can be a bit slow and drawn out. LotR makes just as fun a game but is a little quicker to play.

True but LotR lacks the 'campaign development' of the characters, that an 'RPG-lite' dungeon crawl would benefit from.

Is NPF27   "8pdr gun with line crew (3)   Â£3.50" also meant to represent the AN XI 6pdr deployed with some French units in 1809?

I'm no artillery expert so I don't know if the old Gribeauval looked similar to the AN XI 6pdr?   See http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=259807 for some discussion on artillery allocation in 1809.

I always understood that most of the 6 prs introduced at around that time were actually captured Prussian and Austrian pieces. Napoleon's fixation with 6 prs stemmed from his contention that most of his generals had no idea when to use 4 prs and when to use 8 prs. And 6 prs were light enough to be used as horse-artillery weapons.

I like the new releases!! *calm down.. finish your undead project first... attempt another later... *

Don't be daft man. Buy it now, it will only be more expensive in the future / not available / made in resin [delete excuse as required]

Muppet !!....You've got the decimal point in the wrong place Luddite !
£486.00 sounds far more reasonable....Do you still want 10 'Goat'...Even I'll have a go if you're that keen.
I'll have to do something in the 'Intro's' soon...seeing as I've been such a coward....And admit I used to work for the Evil Empire....I wonder how many others there are on the forum ?.....Bet it's not just me

I was a sergeant in a keystore.

I was their photographer (which is why I get so teed off with my efforts nowadays.....Did have £10K's worth of equipment to play with tho')....Then I was 'in charge' of the figure painters....Then 'in charge' of the figure designers....blah, blah, blah...
Huge fun half the time.....The other half ..... BIG YUK !!

Yep....'Fraid that's me Matt.
All the old rulebooks, some of the board games, and a few dozen very old White Dwarfs are really all I've got left from those days, now.
I'll have to dig them out at some stage and get all nostalgic. 
Cheers - Phil.

Just had a look at an old (1988) 'Fantasy Miniatures' booklet from GW. Not only does it say that most pics were taken by Phil L, but there's also a small mugshot! 

So, Hi, Phil and keep up the good work!

Alex

Thanks Alex.
I probably still looked relatively young in those days .....I'd just love to be able to play with the photographic equipment I had access to then.....Having said that I wouldn't have the room to set it up here  . I'll just have to learn to use the all singing all dancing digital piece of ****, I've got now.....
And learn how to paint figures again.....I'm so far behind everybody nowadays !

Phil, if you learnt photography with film SLR cameras, then you need a digital camera that allows you to take back some control from auto everything. While the cheapest digital camera's don't offer much control, there are many mid-range ones that allow the user to control enough factors (though sometimes finding out how to do this can be tricky - but the internet is your friend someone as probably posted a video or photo instructions somewhere on the web for any and all models of camera).

I currently have a fairly low end Canon DSLR and it is great, but prior to that I had a Kodak all in one with 10x optical zoom, that was a really good camera for under £200 that had enough controls to allow decent mini photos, as well as taking good general photos.

Thanks for that Fred.
You're right....I learnt using a 35mm SLR.....The monster I used in the studio was a 5"x4" plate camera.
I've got two digital cameras....One's a little 'un....But with a fair old amount of control...with fully manual or the different priorities...
That's the one I use to take shots of Wips of the little chaps.....But being an idle git I almost always use it on programme.
My excuse for that is I lost the instruction book....But I've found it now....So I'll see if I can improve with that.

I've recently got a Canon digital SLR....And have JUST started using it on manual...Sooooo.... hopefully I'll have some luck with that too !
The chap who recommended that particular camera is forever telling me to look at 'Youtube' for helpful advise....Just as you are 

Cheers - Phil.
