SAURON1 WRITES;Ok so I cheated and used on of those magnifier lamps OK! I
used them to paint my Johnny Reb 15mm ACW figures too but now I use it to
paint even 25mm.As for Epic Space Hulk,I think they used the original
boards with all expansion sets and for the blips used small
numbered counters from another lost game and you same mug idea.And as I
said earliier this year the GW staff at their mail address seemed
reseptive to and had something similar in mind for a while,but where not
shure it would ever see a product release! sauron1
