I have not sorted them yet but there are 7 file boxes full. Also some Zulu war stuff which may go the same way Big Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235478427317774609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780195401099519720.post-54779548861422305212018-11-10T06:07:35.550-08:002018-11-10T06:07:35.550-08:00Thanks Phil appreciate it Thanks Phil appreciate it Big Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235478427317774609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780195401099519720.post-37380470226959211212018-11-10T06:06:57.700-08:002018-11-10T06:06:57.700-08:00Ion is not really Space Marines I dislike per se- ...Ion is not really Space Marines I dislike per se- but the GW version thereof and especially the nasty dystopia of their "universe" I prefer more jokes. After all the 69th M.I.L.F. are space marines- though they have not been on a mission for several years. No it is the whole 40k ethos is dislike and the drooling sycophancy of some of its fanboys of course.Big Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235478427317774609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780195401099519720.post-19860249943573086292018-11-10T01:18:13.584-08:002018-11-10T01:18:13.584-08:00Lovely Bavarians Andy.

What I always liked about the '25mm' Old Glory figures was the movement in the poses and the wonderful faces, I mean the Dixon ACW's were lovely but far too dwarfish, soon as I saw the OG ACW's that was it, the Dixons went up for sale and I started again :)'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780195401099519720.post-36449085301645722152018-11-09T23:39:53.508-08:002018-11-09T23:39:53.508-08:00Very nice...Mutineer Cavalry is awesome!Very nice...Mutineer Cavalry is awesome!Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913029478686087197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780195401099519720.post-33423125906467383132018-11-09T12:19:21.793-08:002018-11-09T12:19:21.793-08:00Farting around with Space Marines can be fun - tho...Farting around with Space Marines can be fun - though I have wargamed 40K only twice, and don't have a collection. But Space Crusade, bought by a friend, was quite a fun game, especially when played as a campaign. One still had to think of strategy as well as tactics, in an environment you don't often get in table-top games.<br /><br />I tend to group war gameable figures into three 'genres':<br />1. The Toy Soldier - traditional collectors' figures standing maybe 54mm tall (or thereabouts), usually metal, though Britains plastics could be included here.<br />2. The Model Soldier - like what we fight our battles (i.e. play) with (anything from 2mm to 54mm):<br />3. Army Men - el cheapo, crude plastic figures ranging from 40mm to 60mm in height. I include BMC figures in this genre.<br /><br />Metal flats fit into 1. and 2. Fantasy into either as well.<br /><br />I 'discovered' Army Men about 7 years ago, and still find it offers something a little different from the model soldier.Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.com
