So I am now down about £120 as I found some sets of these and also a huge box set of Romans/Greeks/Persians. My mrs will kill me when they turn up!
I am going to see if I can get my son and neiphep off the xbox to help me paint them

I just can't go there again! I used to organise battles all over the floor in my bedroom. Drove my mother completely ballistic in periods. She couldn't possibly see the strategic, and the fine organasation of the epic battles of course. To her it was the complete CHAOS. My god I hated her when I had to fix my room and clean the floor! But then again... Mothers have allways been the perfect show-stoppers. (What is it with women?!)
