So, the long awaited War and Empire kickstarter has been delivered, well worth the wait.
The quality of the miniatures is really good and they have a lot of details (which might be a pain in the behind to paint but who cares).
I took a quick snap of the stretch goal characters yesterday, thirteen or fourteen warlord characters for the different armies. Guys like Caesar, Alexander and Darius III can be found here.
Hopefully I will have a unit or two painted up before summer, still have my Space Hulk terminators and Gebirgsjägers in the paint box.
My always supportive wife happened to stumble upon a small toolbox when she was out shopping: link
This is perfect for keeping track of the WIP-bits and also to have some tools and paints on the go. Currently I have sorted up my Gebirgsjäger company and their leIG18/PaK38s. The small slots in the boxes are perfect to keep the teams in order and to keep track of who goes where.
On the top of the box there is a small compartment which can old some bigger things, like a box or two of tanks.
The trays are handy and can hold paints, brushes and some tools, everything you need to clean, prepare and paint your minis.
With a handle on top it is also easy to carry it, for example when going to the mother-in-law for a day and you need to have something to do.
So all-in-all I'm very happy with it and for around €20 I find it quite affordable.
