First!
Guaaaaaaaaards!
We’re guards.
😁🤞🏻
Go Guards!
I am tempted by all the Traitors Toll stuff, but I really need to paint the starter and expansion I bought.
Maybe I will get time when I retire in a couple of weeks 🙂
Handed in my notice today. The end is nigh!
That’s tremendous! Huge congrats and equally huge envy..
Well there is nothing wrong with confiscating flaming swords, providing you do it under the correct Health and Safety legislation. That way the Wizard has absolutely no comeback.
Traitor’s Toll becomes even more Discworld!
Good weekend and don’t forget to kill H****r
Yay weekender time is now folk’s 👍
Noise Ork’s boy’s
Guards of Traitors Toll seems pretty good actually
Yes with clannad music
Don’t forget the sheriff balldic robin hood ?
Joe 90 ?
The new wave of guards of traitors toll look amazing. Love the ogre and the gnome!!
The torch am shields Dragon/monster looks great
The duchy they are on the left hand side ?!? 🤔
You’ll need to get the video @Ben for Gerry we all know how much he loves rigging👍👌
Guard’s Guard’s
Polly McDonald ???
Great show guy’s 👍
I had a cat that could growl if you were playing with her ?🤔?🤷
I like the Victrix models and the models from Traitor’s toll look fun.
Firelock are doing some great stuff.
My weekend has started!
Nice one 🙂
I punched a bloke in the face once for saying “Hawk the Slayer” was rubbish, when what I should have said is “Dad, you’re right, but let’s give Krull a try and we’ll discuss it later.”
Napoleonics is a constant learning experience. I like it.
Guards! Guards! – the game
john finally lost it !
Kromlech should do an ork version of Iron Maiden, with Eddie as a gargant!
More Traitors Toll goodness and also interested in Crooked Dice Robin Hood. Of course the Rockerboys are also wonderful.
Fun fact the reason for the distinctive and Iconic British redcoats was at the time when Parliament was first looking at a national uniform back in 17th Century after the ECW, The colour Madder Red was voted for as it was the cheapest and a widely avaliable option.
I think the matter of vehicles in the Starcraft game was an issue since they announced the scale for it. Making them coherent in size will result in enormous (and costly) models. Leaving them out will leave Protoss and mainly Terran without some truly iconic units. I’m curious to see how they’ll solve it.
Love the Victrix stuff, great models. And Guards of Traitor’s Toll continues to look good.
Guards of Traitors Toll looks so good. Maybe I’ll have time to play it when I’ve retired…
