Colonel Bills Elizabethan Border Reivers

 I was very kindly sent some samples for Colonel Bills new range of Border Reivers as I was curious how they scaled up.

I’d heard that the Flags of War Reivers were a bit big compared to most historicals, but that’s not the case here:


The photo is awful, but my desk is full of market hall bits at the moment. But, Antediluvian conquistador, Colonel Bills Reiver, TAG Elizabethan gent, Colonel Bills Reiver. Lovely figures and I will be getting more at some point.

Father Shandor - the comic strips 7-9



















And that is all that are currently out there. There are synopses and the odd page scan of the subsequent stories, but nothing complete. Hey ho, hope this slight diversion from the usual nonsense was of interest…

 

Father Shandor - the comic strips 4-6



















Oddly, this doesn’t seem to get the views without some text, so here you go… parts 4-6.

 

Father Shandor - the comic strips 1-3

These are the first three tales of Father Shandor. I tried posting all nine stories that exist online as a single post, but it slightly broke blogspot. I’ll post the others later so check the Father Shandor tag.

Scans of subsequent stories aren’t available sadly, if I ever stumble on complete scans I’ll post them. 

Annoyingly, unlike the excellent House of Hammer comic strip adaptations of the films (including Dracula Prince of Darkness) these are unlikely to be republished due to rights disagreements between various parties. 

Anyhoo… enjoy the first three stories…
