Big thanks to @evilstu for hosting and nice choice for the name 🙂

1) Bellerophon. Hands down. He rules. He rode Pegasus the Winged Horse (Pegasus is the name of the horse that has now become the name for all winged horses). He was the Son of Poseidon and a total badass.

The best story of Bellerophon is his attack on Xanthos where he literally had Poseidon help him with a giant flood but was forced to retreat when the women rand at him naked and offering him “Favours”.

He tried to fly to Olympos but Zeus threw him from pegasus back to earth where he lived the rest of his life blind and hated.

Oh and he’s the Symbol of the British Airborne, This is Bellerophon on Pegasus during his battle with the Chimera.

Have I ever wargamed with him? No but he was the inspiration for my largest 28mm WWII force of British Paratroopers.

2) Since I’m 22 i don’t think I’m old enough to get nostalgic about TV shows.

3) Definitely 6mm but I can’t decide on a Period/Ruleset. Everything just looks so good.

My Pledge this weekend is to make as much progress as I can on my Napoleonic French from Warlord Games. The Sudan stuff from last week had me tearing my hair out so I’m not touching it until it’s all based, Plastic is great but very top heavy so the slightest breeze ruins the whole painting table.

Some Music this time from ex-Sabaton members who formed “Civil War”
