NEW FEATURE:

 

Little Big Men Studios have been dishing out the hottest shield and banner transfers for quite awhile.  As a purest, I tend to like to paint my own shields, but lately time has made this more difficult. With LBMS quality it is difficult to even attempt to try to go on my own with my old weak eyes and shaky brush.

Not only do they offer a great product but their service is exceptional. An order put in last week arrived in the post in less than four working days. From England to Southern California no less. Granted their product is not a huge heavy box of lead and tin alloy- still this record service makes LBMS the recipient of the very first Golden Vendor (TM applied for).

Now if I can just get the time to learn how to use them! When I do I will report here on AncientBattles.com.
