I felt like I had a smile on my face a mile wide that day!<br /><br />Weird Wild West is very popular. You should see the amount of stuff Flying Frog are producing for "Shadows of Brimstone". I'm struggling to keep up! Regarding your Wild West scenery I'll be placing an order with you for everything once I finish collecting your Death Match figures.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-20227528510533767672017-08-13T22:17:43.314+01:002017-08-13T22:17:43.314+01:00I can sympathise with you, mate.

Getting that news was a massive boost to my confidence and i left the hospital feeling ten feet tall!<br /><br />Regarding the small heads issue, I agree the head of the Wendigo was smaller than I was expecting but actually once I glued it in place it didn't bother me too much. As you say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.<br /><br />As for "Massive Darkness" you can expect a big review very soon.

So many gamers I know seem to struggle with ill-health and find solace in our hobby, so its good to know you're doing well.<br /><br />That's a great selection of minis, and obviously I'm much intrigued by how you get on with "Dracula's America". I wasn't overly impressed with a couple of the minis I received, finding the heads a little smaller than anticipated, but beauty is always in the eye of the beholder - and I have a similar gripe with some of the "Frostgrave" models too.<br /><br />Hopefully you'll do your usual sterling job of furnishing us followers with a series of postings on how you found the minis and how they've played out in your games - here's to 2018!!<br /><br />Plus "Massive Darkness" too... I know Michael (Awdry) speaks highly of the KS package he received, so I'm looking forward to your thoughts on that one too; especially as I don't recall ever hearing of it when it was KS - an omission I hope I don't regret ;-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-74430996211563347202017-08-13T17:59:38.559+01:002017-08-13T17:59:38.559+01:00Wow - "Happy Thursday" Bryan.

Although 'Weird West' is going to be very much a side project for me, I like the sound of the dice mechanics in these rules and will be keeping them in mind when it comes round to getting stuff together.<br />Looking forward to hear how you get on with them.<br />I'll also be watching out for your review of "Massive Darkness" :-)The Wargame Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654413349305659155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-64188206355886395702017-08-13T16:19:02.448+01:002017-08-13T16:19:02.448+01:00Many thanks, Roger.

Who sculpted them? though the figs are only small in the photo's (even when opened up, a few of them have the look of Mark Copplestone work (I could be wrong though), look forward to see what you do with these.<br /><br />Cheers Roger.Dick Garrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653744597413710281noreply@blogger.com
