I saw Jason and Eric posting the tables, figures and ship on Twitter and Google + as the event drew near, and I could see that this was going to be a great event. I love the Blood Creek of Wales, and the hill carved with the wonderful Saxon horse. And that's even before we get to the figures - some brilliant painting in evidence there, including your own very fine warband!<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing the photos. Great work all round. Days like this stay in the memory for ever.
