Whilst hunting for a load of Zulu's i had painted, a i managed to lift the top off an ECW army pack adn spill the contents all over the garage floor adn my shelves.
Still didn't find the zulu's and i suspect i'll be finding 10mm men for the life of the garage!
Still not as bad as when i droped a tool box full of micro tanks in the middle of a busy road:(

My sympathies.

I got very annoyed when my 3 yr old brother plonked his hand on a unit of hoplites. Had to pick the spears out of his hand.

Did terrible damage to my phalanx.

If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Anyone done the rogue mini in bare feet?  ~X(

I almost had a disaster last Friday......I "lost" one of the Mongol archers.
(Which should have been in my drying 'oven' on the desk.)
Took me the best part of a morning to find it.....On the floor, behind the desk, where one of the cats has swatted it.
Thankfully it was still stuck to a cork, which made it relatively easy to find, in the end.

I was not a happy bunny, while I was looking for it.  ~X( ~X( ~X( ~X(
Oh...the relief when I found it !! #:-S #:-S #:-S #:-S #:-S #:-S #:-S #:-S

When the bit I lost on the ground is tiny, I just let him be with his new life on the ground if I don't find him after 30 secondes.
Quicker to redo it than to search it.
