Hi Guys,

Received Horns of Buffalo (I think). Large box from WG's whisked away from under my nose.

Big Mike tried the quotes from the film which was immediately met by counter-quote from Desperate Housewives.

I know when I'm beaten. Roll on Christmas.

Regards

Jim.

My Horns set arrived at 09:08 this morning. Unfortunately the delivery window I was given was from 09:10 to 10:10 so I had an agonising and very cold two minute wait sheltering in the lee of the DPD van until the delivery guy was allowed to scan it off on his gubbin. On the bright side Unwife was still fast asleep so I managed to spirit it inside unscathed.

There's a big old pile 'o resin in there but by far the best bit is the little wagon. I was expecting a resin job but it's a kit made from laser cut wood like the buildings. I can see myself getting another half dozen of these little beggars and I implore Warlord to get on with making yoked oxen and teamsters if they haven't already. I want to pop it out and play with it right now( :shock: ) but I'm intending to get some photos for the purposes of reviews etc. so I'll have to use some restraint.

One thing I did note now that I can see it properly is that you get 32 Natal Natives in a box with two Boers (Boars? :roll: ) so that ought to be an interesting set.

Pics to follow this evening as I have to reluctantly tear myself away from it and rejoin the real world for a bit.

Are the two Bears representing NNC white officers and NCO's?

Is there a tear in your beer? Cuz I'm crying over here.
Take car. Go to Mum's. Kill Phil - "Sorry." - grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?

Given the chance I suspect many of us would allow ourselves to be led by beers.

Just an update Guys.

Searched for a certain WG box last night for a sneak peep and hopefully extract the seperate box of unmarried zulus that had been purchased with the HoB set. Bloody thing is wrapped up already.

I should now put in some stupid quote from Desperate Housewives but I don't know any.

Regards

Jim.

Try that quote: Carlos, Gabrielle's husband

Hey, don't get it wrong, Internet, I did not watch that series. :lol:
