I would probably take mdf bases and  napoleonic Russian infantry

The most massively huge Kislev army (for those who don't know this is a faux medieval Polish type army for Warmster).

I reckon I could clock up about 8000 points with £100 of shiny goodness 8)

I'm not making one of those.....I STILL haven't finished Lemmey's Meerkat yet. :P ;) ;D

I didn't realise that literacy standards had risen so significantly on the forum.  In future gentlemen, I will endeavour to ensure all my future correspondence is of a suitably high calibre :)

Rumour was that when Warmaster was being developed that the playtesters were so used to Warhammer that they kept referring to the game as "Warhamm ... master" so it became colloquially known as "Warhamster"

One of these stories that may not be true but ought to be, IMHO.

It was !.....The number of colloquialisms was beyond belief.....I'm sure it's exactly the same nowadays.

Don't think it'll be quite that polite Peter. ;)

An army of war hamsters would be quite cute. With the bonus that my poor Incas would probably win for a change. :)

180 packs of http://www.pendraken.co.uk/AR1-p2665/ AR1 - Legionaries, HTW/sword to kickstart my Valeria Victix 1:1 project.
I'm about to embark on the fool's mission of setting up Battle of the Auroch Hills with 10mm figures as well as building a scale model of the battleground. Maybe next year.

They are lovely models



IIRC Phil's redoing the Imperial Romans but I hope they compatible with these older ones.

If I won I'd buy the models I need to finish off my Quebec projects and loads of WWII stuff.

Sudan War - now I've got the rather good Blood and Sand rules from Real-time wargames I'm going to push on with it as a project.

It would burn such a big hole in my pocket that I would rush in and buiy something that would sit in my lead pile for two years and end up unloved, untouched and a forgotten project amongst loads of other forgotten projects ;D

2013 has been such a frugal year wargames wise that I think I have turned a bit of a corner and now only buy things I actually need. For once in my wargaming hobby I feel as if I am getting close to having just a couple of projects on the go.

If I were lucky enough to win, rather than start something new I'd use the £100 to fill gaps in existing stuff rather than start something else.

I have a feeling I'm getting sensible all of a sudden... ;)
