Anyone know if there will be any collections or anything for Kev at a Call to Muster in Middlesbrough tomorrow?

As I work freelance in a home based studio, my biggest concern is when something like this happens to you, in your home, how can you will feel sure in home again? or how you will dare to stay working in your studio alone again?
Apart from the physical wounds the shock of such kind of assault has to last for long.
I'm very sorry for him.

True ! A couple of years they broke into my garage (which is underground as i live in an appartement) and stole my car stereo.
I felt unconfortable the next months when entering the garage, especially at night. Can't even imagine how one must feel after what Mr. Adams been through.
I guess I'd put bars on all windows and enough locks & safety doors to keep a giant out  :( and become a member of a gun club so i could own one  >:D

My prayers for a quick recovery.  I hope the perps are caught and given the full measure of the law!  >:(

Latest we've heard:

Quote from:   "Kev Adams"

Hi Tim
Thanks for caring , ive had loads of suport wich is great , i'm not on favebook and cant see poperlt so typings bad
I got three masked idiots in hoods with faces covered who got in my house when i was up here and cornered me in my loft , i got a knife pressed into my face and one of them kept hitting me in face hard with knuckleduster so all my cheekbones are smashed to bits and i look like elephant man , nose is broke in three places and one teeth broken and i cant eat so am having to drink gren goblin juice LOL , they wanted weed and money and jewellery but they had got the wrong house and i wouldnt entertain them and stood up to them hence the injuries so they gave up and made off with my imac .
the slags did similar to an 80 year old lady and tried to suffocate her with plastic bag . last night according to police they did two more raids and hurt people ,
they are being charged with attempted murder on me because my injuries are so severe and of course aggravated burglary but they need to catch them first .
i'm more annoyed at how traumatised my family are and they said they will kill me if police are called but none of them scared me as they all had faces covered up and are little cowards .
if they turn up i'm ready for them and will smash them with my cricket bat because they are nothing as i was caught off guard .
i didnt fight them in close confines of loft because i have a family to care for and in close quarters could have been fatally stabbed and its not worth getting killed over an imac .
Ive got to dash as my partner needs me nearby but will be back working as soon as i can see again .
dont worry i'm a tough old bird and wont be beaten by a bunch of mugs .
you can post this on facebook if you like so everyone knows what happened .
ive got to have a load of metal plates in my face so will get rid of my wrinklelsLLOL

Confirmed sculptors so far, making 28mm goblins to raise funds to help Kev out:

Tre Manor (RedBox Games)
Jason Wiebe (Reaper, etc)
Chaz Elliot (WotC, Citadel, etc)
Des Hanley (Otherworld)
Alex Bates (Forge of Ice)
Steven Marchant (Inso)
Stuart Powley (SLAP minis)
Mark Evans (Fenris, Crooked Dice, etc)
Vermis (Hasslefree, etc)
David Drage (Iron Mammoth)
Matt Gubser (Dark Age, Rusted Heroes, etc)


Minis to be moulded & cast by Paul Reid (Ral Partha Europe)
Resin bases from me to accompany the set.

Assorted painters have offered their services, too, but I'm holding off on further details 'till we can nail something more concrete down in terms of what needs doing, etc.

Hope that suits everyone who's offered their time & services.

Need to get a bank account organised next so that we can take PayPal donations from anyone who can't find us in person.

Mac @ South London Warlords/ Salute has okayed us for collecting tins on the day, so there'll also be goblin green shaky tins on a number of trade stalls for you to throw any spare change into.

The quote from him goes to show; don't f**k with the Goblin Mater! I hope they catch the gits, as I am pleased to see they are being charged sensibly and not going to get off with the usual slap on the wrist this country gives.

Nice to hear he is doing well!

Now, I read on the FB page that some folks are offering sculpts for a raffle or an auction.  How will this be taking place?  Will it be done online and open to folks worldwide?

Yes, it will. I've just set up a dedicated eBay page, bank account, and PayPal email and now really need to get on and do some Fenris prep for Salute....FB will be the first port of call for new updates but I'll try and post here, too....

For those who are interested, I'm offering some of Kev's original character greens from my range for the auction. A unique chance to own a little piece of KA history. More info will follow on the facebook page.
