MONSTER MANUAL MONDAY 9

Went to Overlord at Abingdon yesterday, a nice little show. The bring and buy was not too exciting but I did discover Ainsty castings were selling a load of old Ral Partha and Grenadier blisters (at modern prices sadly). I picked up some Lizardmen and a couple of packs of Ral Partha Orcs, and also (mega find) a Ral Partha Bear Chariot of the Icelands. I own 2 already but it is a lovely figure and just small enough to use with 20mm figures as well. Robin (oldest son) grabbed some Grenadier barbarians from EM4 and an Orc Warlord, so it was quite a good trip.

I haven't had time to post any Oldhammer goodness, but am 75% through my unit of Chronicle hobgoblins so should be able to get those up next week.

Here is a nice offering from Heritage who made lovely chunky figures back in the late 70's. A Wight. Not how I would imagine the ones that dwell in barrows, but clearly based on the Monster Manual artwork.

A nice touch with the Heritage Dungeon Dweller range was the base sculpted to look like flagstones.

Last week I received a very nice parcel from Gareth the Grot over at  Drums in the Deep . He very kindly sent me a GW battlemat after I mentioned I was thinking of getting one. He is replacing it with some purpose built boards and had no further use for it. Thanks Gareth, much appreciated, hopefully I will be spurred to get some retro terrain to go on it.
