    Hi, I stumbled across your blog while unicorn hunting.

    The particular unicorn I am hunting is the variant of the Guijia Squadrons miniature that was available as part of the 2019 tournament pack.

    If you still have the miniature, would you consider selling it? I understand if you don’t want to, and if you have already been inundated with similar requests then I apologise for being a further inconvenience.

    Kind regards.

      Hi Matthew, I feel your pain. That Guijia sculpt is something I was looking for for a long time and won’t be able to sell. Thanks for checking on my blog!

    Nice job on the figures (Day 9 is my fav so far – not sure why but I just like the look). Really looking forward to terrain. And horses. There’s horses, right?

      What’s funny is I saw your comment and hadn’t had a chance to go back and check on who was on day 9 but had a feeling it was this same one I liked most 😀 That Thomas Haden Church model from Tombstone is a nice sculpt and the colors seemed to work out on him.

      No horses yet but I have my eye on a few different horse sets so hopefully soon!

    Untamed Beast #4 is going to round out my likes for the month – in part because I’m always intimidated when it comes to painting animals (or animal based?). Nice job on those eyes,

    Good luck with remote/virtual Chewie this weekend!
