Not really West ham Colours but probably close enough to baffle David Cameron


I do have an Orc Dreadball team in Boro strip.... Middlesbraaargh!!

Oh it does I think thank you!!. Seems like two loops connected to a central knot?

All fired up for Dragon Rampant after Ayton, I've now added this unit of grumpy vintage Dwarves. Figures courtesy of that splendid chap EB - thank you ! https://i.postimg.cc/DfPSZfz0/20240514-153202.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/90b0NbkZ/20240514-153234.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Xq4X8msn/20240514-153445.j...

Does anyone have a better picture of an 18th Century shoulder knot, in the style depicted here on a WAS Spanish Royal Guard ?

Super! Congrats on a splendid display

The lodge meal was one of the poorest I've had at Ayton. I'd prefer to eat somewhere else.

I find the forge much improved nowadays in quality, options and atmosphere

Hope you can!

they sound perfect. I'll be probably using my Andygeddon Spanish

If Lace Hulk can accomodate more I'll jump in on it. Has anyone got a force of British Grenadiers? If not I have my eye on some figures to make my characters. Its Venice Above Ground (with the huge cities from Paul & Jamie) with dungeons below, so not just Lace Hulk like this year. We are hopin...
