Wait till you see what I bust out next week. <br /><br />I'm thinking about my next warband (always more projects) but I haven't settled on an idea yet. Byzantine would be very cool to paint! And you always make me lol. Have a great Sunday, sir!

Not even in the spam folder. <br /><br />Yes, there is another supplement in the works and then more after that. If I go Early Rus, I know where to check for info! I have a hunch they'll take this to ancients. I'll scream like a girl if I find out they're doing Roman, Gaul and more. And then get busy painting.

I'm using PVC glue and it is hard to control the flow and it tends to ball up on me.
