I do need some cavalry for my Nurgle forces tbh as my Beast of Nurgle though fast, doesn't really seem to fit the bill.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-9079659791302363282016-12-22T16:41:52.285-08:002016-12-22T16:41:52.285-08:00Sherlock is SO GOOD.

I've a handful of "Heroclix" coming, so hopefully they'll be a few to catch your eye ;-)<br /><br />I too don't watch "Sherlock".
