We should organize a "Lead Adventure Club (Spanish)" on the Internal Board. I live near Alicante.

Wonder how I do that... ???

Hi mortimer,

Check out this thread that I have posted in Open Talk:

The Ruga's look great and was the reason I poked my nose in right from the start.

Looking forward to seeing the other half of your army.

Are you working in any army for this Pentaro?

These Copplestone ngoni are really great minis Captain, and I have a lot of slotta bases, YESSSS... it's what I can find in the local store... I will made the bases when I finish the next five rugarugas in the workbench...

You gotta finish them bases though, man! You're killin' us...! ;)

Not really, you saw it last month. I just got my 1st Boer War stuff out of the closet and put together a small, boring army using armed civilians (counting as "soldiers") and a few British soldiers. I have spent too much money this year and I haven't even finished my south african stuff, so I don't want to start any new projects.

March, huh? I didn't know there was a date. We had lots of fun in the first game but we didn't manage to make anyone else interested.

Ngoni izAngoma. Indistinguishable from Zulu ones really, and so perfect for your Zulu force, Captain, if you are still in the market for such things.

Post by: Plynkes on December 19, 2010, 12:41:03 PM: Fantastic. Having the bases done really does make a big difference to how they look. And those little extra details such as the patterns on the headdress really take the figures to the next level.

The white guys really are superb, too. Excellent update. It has brightened this gloomy, snowy day no end. :)
