Thank you, I'm hoping he does! He is a huge Chess player and has a fold out cardboard game mat and the same plastic pieces for longer than I've been alive, no joke that's a fact, it's the same box set up he was given by my grandparents a few years before he and my mother married.That's a really nice idea, looks great too. I'm sure he'll love it. I would.k:
Thank you! Whichever races you choose, I'm sure it will look good! I'm considering doing another one for myself, but, unsure if I want different pieces or just buy the same ones again.Great work! I have the same planed for myself. Just can't decide on what races to use. Elves vs Ork maybe.
Thank you! Actually, they are all Reaper. I made an order online, through their web store, and took care of the purchases coming from one place. Reaper has so many different minis that they were just the smart choice to turn to for what I needed. :grin:That looks awesome! Great work
I recognize the Viking Hero, Amon model from Reaper Minis. Awesome little model, despite the horned helmet. Where did you get the rest of the minis from?
I'll do that right now!:grin:that is an awesome chess set, that is a great gift let us know what he thinks.
Awesome. They've got a lot of neat models. Cozy little store too. I'll probably pay it a visit next week when I visit my Grandmother on my moms side.Thank you! Actually, they are all Reaper.

I've never been to the actual store, I bet it's awesome! :grin:Awesome. They've got a lot of neat models. Cozy little store too. I'll probably pay it a visit next week when I visit my Grandmother on my moms side.
Its awesome to hear that your dad liked it.
Don't forget to tell us how the game goes.I've never been to the actual store, I bet it's awesome! :grin:
I admit I was slightly stressed he wouldn't like it, but, the figures, case, and board just brought it all together and he liked it! For once, I hit the gift nail square on the head with him!
Thank you, I'm glad you like it! I recommend getting an early jumpstart on it though. I did have some distractions between now and October when I started. The reaction and look on his face was very rewarding and worth the work.Didn't get a chance to comment earlier but I really, wholeheartedly, love this. Definite steal for my dad next year!k:
Thank you!That's a badass chess set. Well done.
The first couple games were great! He was excited about seeing all the pieces assembled on the board for the first time and said it was the coolest Chess Game he has ever hadDon't forget to tell us how the game goes.
I'm sure I'll end up going to the store while I'm down visiting my Grandma, so I'll see about getting some pictures of the store for you. They've got some pretty neat dioramas in a back room that are awesome.
