I like that each model ship comes in its own bath tub.

Really in two minds, was it worth sharing, as it isn't a great review... but we thought at least it was funny.

Finally got around to starting painting these after being sat on the pile since release, the cruisers for me where cast in normal hard resin and just the destroyers in "warlord resin"/siocast. Was a cracking unboxing, had me in stitches.

Yeah, I think Skytrek do some of the work now, and they use traditional resin.

Excited 😁. Used to play mongoose victory at sea with GHQ figures. Hope it plays well. Love that I won't have to use tweezers, glue, and time. With this, paint and play!!! 😊

Is it the same game? It looks like they kept the title and art style.

Johhny B is the Krakken! Not sure what's going on, but there are a plethora of Naval Combat games coming out. Modern and Fantasy. Good stuff guys

There does seem to be a move in that direction.

The best channel for technical terms like "doofer" and "white sided dice". Lol. Great unboxing guys, genuine snorted my coffee when JB shattered the Portland! "Robert McKenzie" by Paul Gross (yes the Due South guy) might have been a better song.
