Cavalcade has some excellent animals as well, alas - no sheep, or regular cows - but oxen, and llamas and emus...not enough emu representation in gaming.
I bought them when they were owned by a friend up in Seattle - but the prices at Forlorn are pretty good too.
Oooh they have a nice carabao/water buffalo. My grandfather had one once and I loved that old thing. Shame he had to die because reasons.
Would be interesting to use it if I ever tried playing Bolt Action. i was interested more in the Pacific theater so a carabao here and there would be appropriate. Shame I can't find decent Japanese WW2 miniatures, though.
REAPER PLEASE MAKE YOUR LIVESTOCK INTO BONES PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. And add sheep while you're at it.

I'm glad the bones is inexpensive, I hate it when companies try to fleece us with the cost of their models.

World Bank Forecloses On World Farm
News in Brief • World • finance • business • ISSUE 40•41 • Oct 13, 2004
WASHINGTON, DC—Following years of threats, the World Bank foreclosed on the World Farm, a 64,000-square-mile plot of arable land in Dodoma, Tanzania that provides wheat, cattle, and goats to much of the Eastern Hemisphere. "This farm has been in my family since Zanzibar was a British protectorate," World Farmer Mwana "Clem" Mazooka said Monday, angrily waving a pitchfork. "I'll be damned if I let some world-city creditors get their grubby hands on it." In spite of Mazooka's protests, World Bank representatives said the World Farm Auction will take place on Oct. 24

First up i have to plug the mech suit
I mean just look at that nasty mother-father. Looks effective and reasonably practical too. And at $20 for metal not bad at all.
IMEF Bulldog I for those looking for it. And that little I raises my hopes for more.
I got the IMEF Bulldog I today. I paid full $19.99 retail for it. It's not that big. It's about the size of light warjack or a GW40KSM Terminator. Most of the other IMEF guys looks almost as tall as the guy in the armor. So it's cool but it's not very big and $20 for it seems a little bit steep thought not crazy. I'm feeling more $17.99 about it.
I'll try to find my IMEF bones and stack the bulldog up beside them tomorrow. Unless I forget. Or maybe this weekend I'll get a tube of Loktite and put together a Deadzone Stage one plague and a Warpath Enforcer commander and a cygnar Light Warjack to stand it next to. And Maybe an Infinity Squalo (old version) and the Authorized Bounty Hunter? Whatever I can scroung up. I might even be able to find an AT-43 RedBloc Kolossus.

I'd appreciate that for sure. Seems like a nice 'heavy' to attach to an IMEF squad. Whether for a game or just looks.
Looking at it again, not sure how the man fits inside, it's too big to just be an armored suit (unless it's really smaller than it looks even), but it's too small for a proper cockpit.
Yep, but New Zealand is the Wales of the Southern Hemisphere and the sheep thing is as true there as it is in the principality (that's Wales for those not up on the classification of the UK's constituent parts).
Scotland as well, at least according to Bill Connolly....
Wherever the British Empire has set foot...?
The Auld Grump - the days of old. The days of Empire! When men were men, and the sheep were scared....

The reason I bought rules and became a real wargamer was because I wanted a properly thought out structure to govern the action instead of just making things up as I went along.

Not quite sure where there are such devoted universal Monster fans that they NEED chibi versions of Frank and his bride, and are willing to pay $8 for each and then paint them... but if there are they must be very happy now.

Thanks for the pics palaeomerus. I was about to say his price is pretty steep for a figure of his size, but then I pay $25 for KD figures smaller than that...so I don't have much room to complain about price.

Sometimes it feels like Paul Vernoeven's satire didn't go far enough. This is perfect, thanks.
