The cheer myself up random buy or Why Chico starts up 15mm gaming

So as some of may know from this POST awhile ago that I have failing eyesight. As of today I now have a diagnosis of what is actually wrong and what I can expect going forward in life.

I have Ischemia (bad blood flow) and small haemorrhages in my eyes caused by Diabetes. Long story short is there is nothing which they can do and it'll only get worse, so blindness in the long term.

So partly to say fuck you to my failing eyesight and because of that evil monkey known as Space Cow Smith from Tales from Far Point and his wonderful 15mm I went and bought myself some 15mm (I bought some 15mm last week too to hide in a box for a few years but I guess that won't happen).

So what did I buy?

Space Orc Warboss and Dreadnought

I didn't go crazy but thanks to CP Models I now have a wonderful Freebooter Orc Warband.

Shaman and pet Squig

Now the sculpts are rather crude but have a certain old school/Oldhammer charm that I quite like, plus including postage I bought everything shown for just over £10. That's a full gaming force for dirt cheap, The OoaB way!


Any other 15mm fans out there in Oldhammer Land?
