The Loose Association of Wargamers

Horses for courses of course though I'd put Gripping Beast figures way down the list personally 😉 Gripping Beast were the "Gold" standard twenty years ago and are still probably the best in terms of historical accuracy. I remember talking to them when they started out regarding how they w...

Bit fussy otherwise though. By fussy I take it you mean too detailed for your taste, otherwise it seems an odd choice of adjective. Each to their own of course, as it should be, but I know which I would prefer to paint. I think he meant "unnecessary" detail. Some sculptors add extra stuff...

enjoyment is only partly the games there's everything else. Now that's just heresy! :D I hate painting with a passion that could only be expressed using the medium of an aggressive interpretive dance. Hence I keep it bottled up! The social side was always the most important bit for me and many's th...

The affordability is obviously linked to peoples personal circumstances but if you spread your costs over hours of enjoyment then i think its a pretty cost effective hobby. Compared to golf, or eating out or the cinema or going to a footie match (even if it is 90 minutes of rapturously enjoyable wo...

I was tempted for the shaman in the first 24hours, but I missed it due to KS losing my payment details so now I'm not sure.

The "army" packs work out at over £2 a figure and the RRP is (on average) £3 a figure as the packs are 30 figures for £64 (RRP £90).

I considered those and the problems for me are that you need to buy a lot of rank and file to get the characters, the "rank and file" aren't really suitable for anything other than skirmish games and there's too many archers in the pledges. They are undoubtedly lovely figures if you're onl...

This leave us one player short from the ideal four players.

So is there anyone who has yet to commit or who fancies a pop at become a Dark Age King in Arthurian Britain?

Most Castles in Scotland probably were exactly as the OP looks, a decent wall surrounding a tower and a few "hairy-roofed bothies"?

It looks like me and Tim W. are signed up for shield bashing on Saturday PM too, I had forgotten about that
If anyone else wants to join us feel free to express your interest in whatever way you see fit.

Probably not as good a set of wheels as Donald's Quandry, though. Quandries are quite popular in Oz. I thought a Quandry was a marsupial, limited to Western Australia, with a subspecies in Tasmania? Known for its "WTF" facial expression. It is endangered due to it's near terminal indecisi...
