I'm going to really enjoy it, but also the build up - poring over stats and values and finding a balanced warband is half the fun! Damon and I will be playing more and more as we get closer to the date (November) just to get any wrinkles ironed out rules wise but I'm really looking forward to playing other factions and other players <br /><br />I'll check my calendar and email you guys xDa Gobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482323500538272232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-59394874114327477112016-08-10T16:39:17.263+01:002016-08-10T16:39:17.263+01:00In full agreement, this is one of the best yet, ma...In full agreement, this is one of the best yet, maybe THE best of the best.

Master Ekusa is simply delightful, you must have enjoyed painting this chap no end, he came out looking staggeringly good didn't he. I love the turtle he sits on. If I didn’t have a full itinerary of projects on the go and into the far future, I`d DEFFO be taking up Bushido. Seriously I would, at this stage. You have wowed me totally into `wistfully` wanting to. What you have done though is make me very poignantly aware that I have a rather lovely collection of Orientals of my own to mess about with... when I finally get my Crimson Heroes off the ground.<br /><br />Massive good luck at War Boar Games. Competitions in the right spirit can be a heck of a lot of fun. I used to do them (and regional tournament games) years ago for Sabertooth games Lord of the Rings 40mm TMG: I enjoyed all that no end (and won so many unique specials, my collection was awesome.. god knows how, `cos like you, I played for fun not to win). Enjoy every moment and take pride is showing off all your lovely miniatures in public. Mmm sounds fun.<br /> <br />BTW Update: Hils is over first week in September.. flight booked and everything now.<br />Stephen Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704275344468801259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-53305555246853941542016-08-10T15:23:14.673+01:002016-08-10T15:23:14.673+01:00I'm a massive fan of WIPs Andy, as well you kn...I'm a massive fan of WIPs Andy, as well you know, and I really think you do your wonderful paint-jobs some great injustice by now posting more of them.
