It looks awesome imho.<br /><br />I can't say though that I'm particularly keen on you suddenly doing a Chibi campaign and posting about it. I too have the "Tooth & Sword" kickstarter minis and don't need tempting to get them out and paint them. Sadly though your excellent postings always make me want to paint what you're doing!! :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806467411181104567.post-80406297546590571922017-10-11T09:05:09.770-07:002017-10-11T09:05:09.770-07:00Thanks Wargame Addict. :)

They are not bad and a little soft but their main redeeming feature is that they are cheap. It helps that they bounce better than metal but there is something about the heft of metal minis that just does it for me.<br /><br />I seem to be painting a lot of fantasy stuff at the moment so I willbe keen to see what you are up to.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16293162456263037331noreply@blogger.com
