      My neurologist said Alzheimer's starts with dementia and ends in Parkinson's-like symptoms, whereas Parkinson's starts with tremors and usually ends in dementia. Research into Lewy Body dementia for example, helps both. So it's fine!

    I live in central Europe, there is 13th century castle-fortress on a dormant volcano about 7km from the city I live in. EVERY single village has it´s own heraldry and story that goes with it.
    I live in Pardubice, it´s heraldry is front half of the white horse on red field. Story goes when nobility was fleeing the city, the last one was riding on a white horse and the horse was cut in half by falling city gate.
    I come originaly from small village which has diagonaly cut heraldry, with wolf´s head in red field and a stork on a blue field, signifying the fact that the village was set up in the middle of the woods and was about keeping ponds and lakes with fish to supply the city.
    love the Brets army!

    If you get nostalgic about packaging again, I've found that a little clean up with a razor (such as cutting out the logos) turns them into nice labels for storage boxes for the figures. That way they fulfill that nostalgia and serve a purpose, instead of just sitting around collecting dust and taking up space.

    Great video, and what a beautiful paintjob on these classic minis ! By the way, French viewer here, "Gueules" is actually still a word used in French. It means "maw", or any animal's mouth for that matter, including human ones in vulgar or familiar interjections. You got the etymology right though, and the way you pronounce it sounds just like the old folks in some parts the french Breton countryside say it ("Goule") which is accidentally pretty appropriate for your army. Cheers !
