To put it nicely, I am easily enthused about things. I started the Space Comrades just to basically get rid of a bunch of unpainted figures, but the more I do them, the more I'm stoked about them.

I'm already thinking about converting the remaining few figures into special HQ figures because right now I have five squads but no one to command them. Yes, I already did some minor conversion on the sergeants just to make them a little bit more individual. The figures don't really lend themselves to major modification but there must be something I can do.

Thinking about it, I actually have some figures that are vaguely similar in style. Maybe I will experiment using the same color scheme to tie them together.

I'm also searching through the Great Internjet for fonts, images, music... watch this space for something new...

Also, I got the Mantic surprise box a couple of days ago. It contains a selection of sprues from the older lines. I counted 60 figures, two warmachines and one vehicle but curiously no bases. That's not really an issue for me since I base everything on washers anyway, but it is a bit odd. I'm not sure if all the boxes are the same, but I think it seems likely. I got a selection of orcs, goblins, undead, elves, dwarves and space dwarves and orcs.

I think the box is still available for 24.99 GBP at Mantic Games

In other news, I tried out Cold War Commander with my Vietnam figures. The jury is still out on that, I think I need a couple more games to form an opinion about it.
