@mage bit of hail and sleet up here.  Proper spring showers, one minute it is sunny, the next you see Noah floating down the street in his ark 🙂

@woldenspoons GW also did plastic models with metal arms… which for Devastators was a complete nightmare unless you pinned them with a very big pin!

@rayzryr Yes, it would.  I would say Sabbat (first two albums, anyway) and Bolt Thrower were good, but maybe not D-Rok.  I can’t think of anymore bands they promoted.  Project Blog looks good!

@tuffyears nice tanks!  The Tank game is actually quite fun.  Very X-Wing but enjoyable nonetheless.  Good luck with the gaming hall, dude.

@evilstu Scotland V Wales wasn’t bad.  Scotland could have won, but Wales should have scored more in the 1st half.  Didn’t watch the Italy game as I knew England would smash them.  It was like Orcs v Goblins, the English team is massive but rather stupid, the Italians are sneaky but were just overpowered.  Ireland did well yesterday but the French didn’t look very motivated.

@blinky465 That He-Man model looks amazing, lovely deep detail which will make it a joy to paint.  Don’t remember that Ninja Orge, very cool.

@limburger Ice Cool looks awesome, like a fun version of Subbuteo!

 

Music

1998. Blind Guardian – Mirror Mirror.  You should get bonus points if you can work out how this is related to toy soldiers and playing games.

1999. The Lord Weird Slough Feg – Highlander. Heavy Metal with a weird celtic/folk influence.  Pretty unique for the time, I would say.  Their albums are worth a listen.
