Bought all the range last weekend at FIASCO, excellent figures. Then I got to thinking who's missing, Father Geoghegen riding his donkey! I've just contacted Chris to see if he plans to get one sculpted... got to be a more popular model than Mrs. Thatcher!

Great buy!

I kind of thought of this bloke, melon lopped of and replaced with a Perry Johnny Reb's head in a slouch hat?

Yes, that would work well. Is it a monk on donkey from Saga range?

I'll ask Dan what he thinks about adding character to official range.

Good 'un Chris... you know it makes sense!
He'd look great plodding along in the middle of a firfight with the Simbas!

Cogitating on giving the Simbas a God botherer to help them out a bit too, this bloke looks like he'd fit the bill...

Wild Geese Terrain is now available via Kickstarter!



This includes the prison, barracks and the airport.



Kick-starter campaign is running for 2 weeks only, and all items are at least 10% less than when they are available for retail sales. We are also hoping to be able to through in lots of extra items via stretch goals as the campaign progresses.

Kick starter was funded on first day.



We're now adding free bits of terrain to deals via stretch goals.
Kick Starter campaign end this Friday morning (22nd December).



A couple of people have written to me pointing out that the barracks, prison and airport can be used for so much more than war-gaming 'The Wild Geese'.

Prison sanctuary... The Walking Dead, for example.




Here's the link to the kick starter campaign, if you'd like to take a look.vhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/179272384/28mm-modern-african-wargames-terrain-wild-geese

Finally got going with my Simbas this morning, cleaning up and undercoating. Best part, I've found some right nutters, from Grubby Tanks to get 'em rocking and rolling!!!

They look excellent. Have you got a link for the miniatures from Grubby Tank. Could be a good bet going forward as Mike Bravo seems to have gone out of business.
