I'm sure there's plenty of bandwidth on the site to accomodate any head expansion as a result ;)

Great report  :-* :-*

And if you don't mind me getting all big-headed I maybe will do a compiled thread of my African armies too, if nobody objects. It would be nice to see them all in one place. I suppose it is a perk that comes with the moderator job that I can be a big show-off and sticky my own stuff.  :)

That would be great. I often look back through the various boards looking at the various armies people have painted for inspiration, etc.

Ooooh and I forgot to ask about your giraffes. Wonderful eye candy.  Plastic or metal, and where from?

Plynkes talked about the giraffes in another thread not too long ago. They are Foundry, I believe, and very nicely painted.

Hands up, people: how many of you yearn to one day take part in a game run by Dylan?

No, not Foundry - Honourable Lead Boiler Suit Company metal figures. These days available from North Star, under their 'North Star Africa!' banner. They do a bunch of other African animals, too.

Smirnoff, the sand/mealie bags are from Pardulon.

I have been thinking about this.

I think an AAR sticky would be a great idea. It will appeal to newer Colonial gamers by providing some inspiration and direction to getting started, and for the older hands a bit of eye candy.

I would also like to suggest single photos of forces, regardless of rule systems. A single miniature here or there isn't hard to pull together, but larger scale forces are a bit of a challenge. Again, this is coming from a beginner's point of view: I once thought that Colonial armies were a uniform affair... there is a lot of colour and variety that is sometimes overlooked by the innocent passer-by.

Just a few thoughts, anyway :)

They're all on the LAF now, it's not as if I'm hiding them. All we're talking about is putting them all in one place. I'll do it. Just not right this minute.  :)
