If aliens arrived tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d ask them?
Well likelihood is I wouldn’t have a chance as some trigger happy idiot would shoot them… But if somehow they weren’t mercilessly gunned down I would ask if they fancied a cuppa.
Not very original I know, but they have potentially had a long journey and it is good manners to offer them a drink.
What’s a personal mantra or philosophy you live by?
Come and sit at my feet and hear my wisdom….
I firmly believe in the saying:
“It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice;”
I honestly don’t care about your race, religion, creed or sexual orientation… All I care about is whether you are nice.
Sorry, you trudged all this way for that!
Other Guru’s and Wise Ones are available.
Well okay, about seventy six would be a closer estimate.
So my Wargames Illustrated came with a ‘free’ sprue of the new Warlord Games Range of Smaller scale Black Powder.
Do I like them… Yes.
Am I going to get any…sadly No.
At £250 for Isandlwana and £220 for Rorkes Drift then they are outside my pocket money range. A brigade box is about £31.00.
These will not fit into any other range of miniatures both size wise and stylistically.
So as much as I love the Zulu Wars I will have to give them a miss….
And ready to go!
The rest are at this stage:
Well either my blog has suddenly become popular in a particular country or….
It is all extremely odd. I might have got one or two from the far east in the past but that number quite frankly is weird.
Anyone else suddenly become popular?
Actually since posting this I have gone up a further 22 and am now standing at 1000
Having done a bit of research I was getting between 150 and 170 views a week from China in July/start of August then mid august jumped to 500+ then 700+ then ever upwards….
Back at the start of May I had 3 in the first week with about 180 from Taiwan….
All a bit unexpected and weirdly weird.
Well I was going to get painting this evening but was required to rescue an offspring from the south of the island… So no painting achieved.
Pretty cool sea and sky on the way down.
Was back to work today so got these out, photographed them, then went Nahhh will do them tomorrow…
On the left six knights/ yeomen and on the right we have the city Guards. I wonder if the back left us called Colon. Can’t be Vimes at the rear as he has plumes in his helmet. Unless of course it is a civic event and good old Sybil will make sure he looks smart.
Apologies up front…
Over time I have developed a phobia of German Sausage… now I always fear the Wurst!
Sorry I just had to!
This evening I managed to get these pretty much finished apart from the bases.
Managed to get to 22.30 without a nap today so I think I have turned a corner.
Well I have a couple of excuses… First being I am still need three or four hours of sleep during the day. I get to about 14.00 at the latest then go rapidly downhill. Second is my daughter lost a tiny phial of brine shrimp eggs and we spent an absolute age trying to find them
I did eventually get my Mounted Borgia miniature from Alternative Armies, to be fair to them I got it last week. To say sorry they shoved in a wood pile and a simple well. This was nice of them as I had two dismounted miniatures so…
