For those attending Colours this year, it's worth a mention that Peter Pig are doing free collection at the show, and offering a 15% discount for pre-orders, code being COL26.
They have a wide variety of ranges, including some Greeks/Macedonians, Persians, Parthians, Midianites , NKE and Nubians as well as an updated Early Imperial Roman range.
Wibble...
I've been reminded - "Also War of the Roses , Samurai and Dark Ages ranges".
There's a lovely range of Carolingians amongst their Dark Age figures. Refer back to my Slingshot review. They have the troops to ride down all those Saxon nuisances!
I may already have a few....

But then again, too few to mention?
Tucked away for a rainy day... ;D

Roughly two-thirds of those signed up for the DBA competition are Society members, which should ensure there are a decent number of Championship games played. It also affords an opportunity to put faces to names if you are visiting the show.
A very good point...
And I expect a write-up in Slingshot to tell me all about it?!
Would be good...
