Not anythgin for most gamers to get excited about but these are a little interesting.

 

From the press release -

  • Pure Kolinsky Sable Hair bristles.
  • Chrome plated Brass ferrule.
  • High Grade Aluminium Handle (no swelling as per wooden handles).
  • Excellent snap & ample volume hold.
  • Extremely light and well balanced for those long painting sessions.

And the really interesting bit -

  • The handle itself can be unscrewed from the tip, becoming a cap for the brush. Due to it being threaded, your brush will not come apart when done up. No moisture trapped due to small ventilation hole in the end of the cap/handle.

Storage and transport of brushes is usually a bit of a pain. These brushes sound like they could be a good option and the prices look pretty decent as well

THis is NOT my Box

If you get a soft case for your army keep the cardboard box it came in.

Why?

Well I got a new case for my orks before Christmas.

A Sergeant Carrying Case from Portable Warfare, if anyone is wondering.

As luck would have it the box it came in was put aside for “storing stuff”.

So when I needed to take an army to Australia I packed the army in the case. Stuck the case in the cardboard box it had been shipped in for extra protection. The Box fitted into my luggage and was further protected by unimportant stuff like clothes for hand over to the tender mercies of the dreaded “ground staff”.

End result is the army travelled from Cork, through Heathrow and Hong Kong to Melbourne and suffered not an iota of damage.
