Spookily, after this month's "Dungeon Saga" stuff, I'm planning on going back to my weekly challenges simply so I can start going through my backlog of different scale models. I look forward to seeing what you do in the near year :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-67742096743515982962018-09-22T12:35:14.418-07:002018-09-22T12:35:14.418-07:00Nice haul Simon, love everything you've bought...Nice haul Simon, love everything you've bought, even the epic chaos stuff!

There is another cheaper resin version if him within the range if you have a look.<br /><br />There were none of the larger Khorne vehicles in the box, but a staggering number of Bloodletters and Khorne Hounds. I have some Squat and Space Marine “Epic” stuff somewhere, so don’t be too surprised to see it on the painting table at some point ;-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-77539554169826287922018-09-20T15:07:46.594-07:002018-09-20T15:07:46.594-07:00Nice haul mate!

But nah. LOL one less thing to add to my already insurmountable unpainted pile.<br /><br />I loved Epic - Squats, Orks and Imperial Guard were my armies. So fun.

Tamsin did an excellent job with her photos, hence no need for me to replicate any here :-) I thought the prices at “Colours” were very reasonable tbh, though I was surprised there was absolutely no “Lord Of The Rings” stuff from “Games Workshop” on show. I’d have thought with “GW” re-releasing it they’d have been a load there second-hand.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-58409184208114652682018-09-20T04:24:48.970-07:002018-09-20T04:24:48.970-07:00Cheers Undercoat.

I do though plan to base my stuff on round lipped bases, having seen someone else do that elsewhere - and thought they looked excellent. As a result I might just use either a homemade set or possibly adapt another “Warhammer 40K” rule-set like “Shadow Wars: Armageddon”. I don’t have any mechs yet, just troops, albeit I’ve a hunting trip in the loft planned for soon ;-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-37279035981985766392018-09-20T01:38:26.570-07:002018-09-20T01:38:26.570-07:00Indeed Phil.
