ebay!

Well, over the bank holiday weekend I became slightly obsessed with ebay. I was sure there was a warhammer bargin on there somewhere. I lost several autions, which at the time almost made me cry, but on refection they weren't even good deals at the end. Most stuff seems to sell around the RRP anyway, which makes sence I guess; people stop bidding when the box that would cost you £15 in the shop get to £15 on ebay, I know I do.

In the end I found this lot on the 'buy it now' section, £15 for 19 spearmen. Not bad, considering that it would cost £30 if you where to buy 20 empire state troops from GW nowdays. Also there the classic 6th edition, and so go with my existing empire troops. I plan to partioally repaint them; the black parts of the uniform will get a blue coat so they match the Nordland blue and yellow of my army.

Mantic Skeletons

So here is the first unit of 20 mantic skeletons. I went for a red 'uniform' as it contrasts with the colour schemes of my other fantasy armies.
40 Skeletons come in the army set, I have built them so that one regiment is spear armed and the one here is equipped with hand weapons.The shields are hand painted in a variety of generic heraldry patterns, just 'cus I fancied it really andI didn't want them to look too uniform. Also talthough they are predomantly red most of the figures actully dressed in a fair bit of brown cloth.
