Time to eat my words,  lol
My Renegade order arrived 15 minutes ago.
Early WW1 French Infantry, Chasseurs and Cavalry
Early War German Infantry and Cavalry.
All Regiment Deals, and very good value,  :D
Destined to be VSF French & Prussians.
Eventually (its quite a horde all in one go :?)

There seems to be some variation in the size of the West Wind heads. I had some WW2 British and German a while back, which are definitely larger than the Pickelhaube ones. Nice sculpts though, so I'll find a use for them.

And I definitely recommend the Female Hussars from Hinterland. Lovely figures

I really must get some more renegade stuff and take advantage of their 5 for 4 deal.

Bloody good value, but yeah, lots of cleaning up and basing!!! Same happened to me, the minute I said 'Gawd, these are taking aaaages' on the net, they turned up about 15 minutes later!  ;D

Oops, I forgot, I received some of the Musketeer Miniatures BUF miniatures and the Anglican League characters earlier this week too.
Now that I think about it, and looking at the pile of figures, its probably time to let my credit card cool down for a bit.
(Are you listening Ironclad? There is absolutely no need to rush getting out the new figures I've seen as greens in your photobucket account,  lol)
(And there is a part of me that is glad the Ratnik Steampunk figures won't be available form Miniaturicum for a while yet. A small part, admittedly, but still...)

Still, a chap ought to look smart in front of the men, don't you think?

Yeah, I NEED* some of those Ratnik minis! And definately that green from Ironclad so gracefully hidden in their photobucket.

*Disclaimer: 'Need' in this sense is just a rather large want!

The new Imperial Chinese from Redoubt (and a load of their Boxers ::)) They are only listed on the website so I had to buy "blind" hence one of each. The officer does have a sword but mine broke off in the packet.




I can see these popping up in a few VSF forces along the way

*Ape-Based fun.

Apes don't have tails!!!

I love the ape gang, I have my own one. Won a prize at Colours for them on their painting comp a few years ago.

Just got an order from Fighting 15's for Hieronymous Pratt and his Audio Hat, Charles Darwin, 4 Klockwerk Krieghosen and 2 Germans rocket troops.

This morning I had two little packages waiting for me in the mail box :D …one was a replacement for a miscast WWI French Dragoon figures from North Star and the other, the excellent VSF Female Hussars by Mancha (they should be my round 10 entry’s in the LPL).
A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://tistaminis.com/

A bit of a good week for me.

Aside form the Ape Gang I got off Cheetor (already mentioned) I received:

10 Eureka boiler-suit apes and a pulp WW2 photographer from Fighting 15s.
A Mk1 Rhino APC from another trade on Frothers.
Reaper's Ape-X from Miniature Heroes.
Malcolm Ecclescake and the Nerdlord from Heresy Miniatures.
One old Rogue Trader Squat to make up a unit from eBay.
A long OOP skeleton army Skull Chucker, also from eBay.

Now I have to decide how to prioritise them in the lead pile...  ::)
