Just got an email to say that my Black Scorpion order has been dispatched - hopefully it'll be here by Saturday. No word on the Dixon stuff though.
If the Black Scorpion ones arrive in time then I should have 6 models, which is enough to make a new posse - although not the one I had planned on.
Has anyone else heard about their orders?

Oh No ! not unpainted lead!! at least superglue them to 2p coins!! Only joking, but if folks would like some painting practice on Sunday we could have a go. It would be good if they were cleaned up (remove any flash lines with a modelling knife) and based on a 2p or a washer for footminis, or a 40mm base (available from Games Workshop,) or a card carefully cut out to 40mm (use a compass!) for mounted. If you havesome matblack spray give them an undercoat the nightbefore club. I will bring a selection of paints and we can have a go .(after the games of course, as they will be wet!)

Excellent idea Dave!
I'll bring my brushes and paint kit. Still have a few characters for WDC that could serve as "guinea pigs" until I get my real posse.
Have made some efforts to repaint a few WDC characters, but is not 100% happy with the result, but I'll try to learn from my mistakes.
The Swede.

Dave I'm pretty sure they come with bases, although I'm not certain. I ordered a bunch of painting materials (which arrived today) so as long ass they arrive before Sunday I was planning on making some attempts on Saturday. I'm sure, however, that this will be a spectacular failure so some advice would probably not go amiss. |

I'm reasonably sure I have a number of spare citadel round slotta bases floating around. I'll bring a selection down on Sunday, just in case anyone is short of bases.

I've also got what seems like a never ending supply of 25mm circle bases, which is what the LotOW rules are based on so if anyone wants any it's no issue.

Yay! My Black Scorpions are here  I've got 6 models so I'll draw up a new posse from them tomorrow - as well as attempting some painting. Anyone without models (or whoever) is more than welcome to borrow them on Sunday when I'm not using them. |

I has cowboyz My Artizan stuff got here today, probably going to have to wait a bit for my Dixons stuff as I only ordered it on Sunday. I'm playing Warhammer today and next Monday, and I'm going to a tournament at Warhammer World on the Monday after that (25th) so I don't know if I will be able to make it back in time for that week either  On the upside it should give me plenty of time to paint them! |

Sweet! I think my Dixon models took a bit over a week to arrive. We'll all be experts by the time you get to play  |

The Dixon stuff was really nice. A much higher level of detail than you could tell from the images on the website. Considering the cost was only a little over a £1 a figure (including the shipping), they're fantastic.

Yeah, I saw some Dixons models on Sunday and was pleasently suprised (having thought they were pretty weak from the website).

You must have arrived a bit later than me, I got there about 12pm, and rather suprised several people upstairs by walking in loaded down with a box of minatures.

I received a mail from Black Scorpion today that my order has been shipped. Whether it will be in time for Sunday or not I don't know. I might have to rely on some kindness again to borrow troops, how aggrevating it might be.  The Swede. |

So hopefully they'll be here tomorrow. You might have to do the marathon novice painting session that I did last Saturday evening |
