A few days ago, Robin, my oldest lad (10) roped me into a fantasy battle he had set up in his bedroom, using his own fun rules and figures, all painted himself. A couple of turns in, his brothers turned up eager to participate in moving figures and dice rolling and for 40 minutes or so we had a really enjoyable time with all the youngsters attention held, not bad for Arthur 6, who is not so bonkers about soldiers as Robin , and George who at 3 mainly likes bashing things.
The lego tower holds a goblin hanglider by the way. Arthur and myself were the diseased minions of the chaos god Nurgle, and Robin and George were brutish orc marauders.
Glad the 54mm stuff is restarting too.I have some 54mms on the worktable as I write...
