The Victorian Outpost

Its a new gaming place in Grimsby with new terrain and new scenery, lots of respect for all wargamers and is the best place to game in town.

Anybody who wishes to visit the venue to arrange a game then  just pm me and lets roll those dice.

Thank you all. He was quite fun to do and the set gets a big thumbs up from me, despite the fact that I'm a metal bug.

Like you I am not a "fan" of plastic figures having had many bad experiences with them over the years...but that is a GREAT job you have done...makes me think they may be worth getting after all.
