The Loose Association of Wargamers

Numidians finished. Just a couple of velites to finish and I've done all the lighter side of a Republican Roman army I have on a slow burn project. These were a Christmas present from Auntie Viv in 2019 who told me no one would bother getting me anything I wanted once I became a Dad. She wasn't far ...

I don't drink these days but was gifted a couple of local ales today so poured a toast to Graham over some numidians I'm finishing before the Ayton panic painting starts.

Cheers all.

Oh yes please. I did have Hinchliffe Russians but passed them on to a keen young kid at a show. Regr...

I couldn't work out how to view the ranges or actually buy any? Agreed they look a bit awkward, the bases look very big which would sit them taller than other makes I would have thought.

Excellent. Yes, I'm always suject to dependants these days to but hopefully if we can get another 2 or so we could cover a game. I've enough troops, scenery etc so no one need bring anything unless they wanted.
