I've picked up a good selection of Xyston models recently and have started to think about assembling, painting and basing them. As there are no instructions provided with the Xyston packs do you have any advice, tips or suggestions for the best way to go about putting them together, basing and painting them up? Your help would be greatly appreciated :O) Thanks Jim |

Jim,
I've assembled a few of these, pretty straightforward really. Will you be at the club anytime in the near future?

I'll be around on the 11th for the Warfare dry run. |

Not knowing much about Galleys and Having purchased some of these myself, can anyone give advice to those of us without a knowledgeable club? I picked up packs with humans and war machines to go with them. Any advice on how best to distribute them on the galleys? (I'll do a little research in the mean time). |

Depending on the rules you're playing, you'll probably want to keep the blocks of people and the war engines separate (on itty bitty bases, if possible). That way you can add or remove them to the ships as necessary for a scenario and/or to refelct losses. Doug |

Don't forget, if the ships are of the ancient "ram" variety, then masts and sails were unshipped prior to combat.
