What a magic project - just delightful. I wouldn't get hung up over your dogs - Arthur is legend and not history after all. Thanks for making such a detailed reporting project out of your build project. I'm loving it.

As I noted in an earlier post, my preferred distribution for my 3 points of warriors is 10, 10, and 4.  If the game goes well the unit of 4 warriors spends the entire game where it was deployed.  If the game goes less well, it spends the second half of the game in a "strategic retreat" in order to preserve the SAGA die that it generates.

This small unit doesn't see much action, but that doesn't mean it has to be an easily forgettable unit of grunts. To jazz up the unit, I assembled it from cool command models that I couldn't fit into my other units or baggage models.  Perhaps this unit represents the century's aging centurion and his bodyguards.

Except for their bases, the first two models are done.

Except for the bases, my  "reserve" unit of 4 warriors is done.



The autumn leaves saga continues...

The AMMO autumn leaves and basing materials that I ordered from Kings Hobbies & Games (over 3 weeks ago), are still on back order, so I cancelled my order.   Kings Hobbies refunded my order immediately and with no hassle, which I greatly appreciate.  Thanks KHG.   

I placed a new order with the manufacturer in Spain.  My order shipped the next day and I expect to get it early next week.  The expedited shipping from Europe cost me a bit more, but buying products directly from AMMO is 20% less expensive, so it is essentially a wash. 

Because of the savings and larger variety of products to choose from, I went a bit crazy.  I added to my order some of AMMO's grass mats material, tufts, shrubs, ferns, and meadow flowers.  I have tufts from a few manufacturers, so it will be interesting to compare them to AMMO's products.

excellent painting once again. I am also curious what they will look like when you add the leaves. I'm sure though, they will look even more striking.

Thanks, everyone.

When I see a great product or get great service, I am not shy about letting people know.

I placed my order with AMMO (I live in the US and AMMO is located in Spain) on June 13th and it arrived on my doorstep on June 16th.  Sure, I paid for expedited shipping (only $15), but it was worth every penny.  AMMO accurately filled my order (which was fairly large) and they threw in two extra boxes of birch leaves.  I am very pleased with my experience and I will be ordering from them again.

I still haven't had a chance to test out the leaves on my models.  When I do so, I will let everyone know how it goes.

Do you have a link to AMMO? I've never heard of them.

I have been looking at ordering some of the jungle leaves sets but haven't until I find out how many there are in a blister; that info seems elusive...
