The "Black Tree Design" Mummies are awesome, and I'm hopeful that they'll be finished before the week is out.<br /><br />There are plenty of plastics in the "BtGoA" range - although I'm trying to steer clear of them as I like metal minis. However they are certainly near "GW" prices imho.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-79906353757234290592017-02-22T00:58:07.042-08:002017-02-22T00:58:07.042-08:00Don't shoot me but I confess I don't know ...Don't shoot me but I confess I don't know what a Plaugebearer of Nurgle is?!?!

I'd never noticed before that the mummies had 'lunchboxes'...surely robotic servitors masquerading as mummies don't need to be 'anatomically correct'? <br />I might have to take another look at the BtGA range, as I was initially put off by the price, but read that they've recently released some plastics.

But it is your Boromite force that intrigues me the most. I often look at what is available for the Antares game and think there are a lot of really nice figures in the range. But I'm steering well clear as I can't afford the time or money to start a new project. Still, I will follow your posts on the game with keen interest.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.com
