Conversely, I don't like the rigidity that some Historical games try to enforce in the cause of 'realism'.

Then Beatties in the Bull Ring started stocking huge numbers of packs, which they almost immediately lost interest in and sold off cheap – so I bulk purchased. Id pretty much forgotten about / lost interest in it until I came across the excellent blog and started painting a few bits and bobs, and then filling the gaps in the collection through ebay.Christophernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397250603826942614.post-86577602459752296432012-01-24T15:31:42.414-08:002012-01-24T15:31:42.414-08:00I have to agree, I think as a young sprog, finding...I have to agree, I think as a young sprog, finding Flintloque interesting was just because it was different. My first unit box was the Orc Camp Followers, at that time, I really liked GW's Orcs (mostly Kev Adams ones at the time) and Mike's sculpts reminded me of those. The notion of having 'non-combatant' orcs seemed to really interest me. <br /><br />Now, I love painting them, they paint themselves and they are not as demanding as other figures on the current market. Throw out 3 popular names and they all very similar (and hard to paint)!<br /><br />So Up the Flintloque and long may it live!!!<br /><br />RobRob Aldermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10320524332541331132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397250603826942614.post-88790347478551331922012-01-22T02:26:08.768-08:002012-01-22T02:26:08.768-08:00"Beatties in Bristol.

My own fondness for Flintloque stems from many of the same notions, the game's sense of humour and the rather unique sculpting. I simply love the undead in Flintloque, and I have rather a large contingent of them. It's still on my to-do list to paint them, but they're there, waiting their turn. Zoltan's 666th foot are probably first in line. Undead dogs, genius.Mr Saturdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092917415087033316noreply@blogger.com
