New delivery and pimping two blog competitions

A happy day as I received a package from Old Glory 15s. A bit of a departure from my usual supplier, Lancashire Games, but I wanted them to match some other figures that I already had.
These are Gauls and Marian Romans, and the plan is that they will be based individually and used for Eagle Rampant.

In other corners of the blogoverse, two blogs that I follow are currently running giveaways. The first is a site that I have used frequently but which was saved in my favourites as opposed to my blogroll. That has now been rectified and Wargame News and Terrain will be appearing on your right from now on. Follow the blog, create a post on your own site advertising them and add them your blogroll and there are three entries into a 100 euro giveaway with prizes from several different companies.

The second blog is Kiwi-Colour Studio run by the very talented Mark Hazell. Mark is just starting up his professional painting service again, and wants as much exposure as possible. One measure of this is to add to the number of followers he has on his blog. When he guest  to 120 followers, he will do a special painted figure as a prize.

  1. Hi Nate, thank you for the shout out and the kind words - very much appreciated. Your a talented painter yourself so that means a lot. I look forward to seeing how the old glory figs turn out. (ive painted a fair few of them myself and i rather like them)

    1. No problems Mark. I hope you can make a real go of the painting business. I've painted some OG Romans before, so I'll be looking to improve with this next batch.

    1. You get to the point where receiving parcels in the mail gets addictive, even if you don't paint the contents for a few years!

  4. Receiving lead in the mail is first rate! Painted thousands of Old Glory 15s but never any of their ancients. How is the quality of the castings?

    1. Still top notch. Very little flash and dynamic poses. I'll need to use the craft knife to straighten out the pila, as they are slightly attached to the bodies of the figures.
