I have inspite of bursts of energy, endeavour and enthusiasm been a tad low on the hobby front etc this week. I am pleased with the projects undertaken but suspect that the combination of wet weather and these Strange Times have had an effect on me , not to mention others too. The nights are coming in and the attractions of outside are less practical. Anyway I was browsing and came across this-
Twenty 28mm pirates, a palm tree , two treasure chests and a wee set of rules. All this for twelve pounds, a bargain l think. Not to mention the free dice and super glue plus the way it was packaged in a decent cardboard box with the figures in their bags in pink tissue paper. The rules read well for an accessible fun game which I very much look forward to trying out as soon as the figures get painted. The set is called “ Treasure Island “ and would be an excellent starter set ( everything there , just add paints) for a family member thinking about something other than fantasy/science fiction or a hobby holiday for yourself. This is an excellent entry to the hobby for half term ! Service from Warrior was helpful and quick. Go on give someone this as a gift and start them on the hobby that has nurtured us for years...
I will hopefully soon report back with painted figures and a game report.
There are some great value packages from Warrior. Some excellent castings are to be found in the Jacobite and El Cid ranges. The owner has been running that company since the 1970s, still remember his adverts in Military Modelling. I have heard he recently had a spell of poor health, so I'm certainly wishing him well.

I am vexed to hear he has been unwell and hope he feels better soon.
DeleteI must agree. Warrior do offer some great value for money.
ReplyDeleteDitto.
DeleteThat is a beaut Treasure Island set there Alan. All the Characters are there- wow! Have fun painting them. Regards. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThe figures are full of character and it is great to see how they have been inspired by the book .
DeleteWarrior’s service has always been excellent, with orders being fulfilled within days rather thaN the weeks (and in some cases, months) that some other manufacturers take.
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Bob
Their postage charges are very reasonable too compared to others.
DeleteExcellent little boxed game .
ReplyDeleteI wish other manufacturers would follow suit.
DeleteI look forward to seeing what you do with this. Never bought a Warrior figure before. Perhaps I should give them a look?
ReplyDeleteWell worth a pop over to their webpage.
DeleteThey look great Alan, I could fancy a little project like that myself. Show us them when you get them painted and into action.
ReplyDeleteRegards,
Paul.
I feel other manufacturers are missing a trick . I will post the figures here when finished.
DeleteThe simple joy of playsets ... enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteAnother thumbs up for Warrior Miniatures. Excellent company.
ReplyDeleteSo true.
