This years (2016) Santa for my parents is North Star's Pulp era Santa. You better not be on his naughty list or trying to stop him from delivering presents!
Most young boys (and some adventurous girls) play with Toy Soldiers; some never stop! I'm proud to say that I am one that never has stopped. Toy Soldiers, painting the figures, history and miniature wargaming is what this site is all about. May the God who gives encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Lord Greystoke's Company: Tarzan of the Apes
John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke, better known as Tarzan of the Apes, raised in the African jungle by the Mangani great apes is greatly feared and admired throughout the world in the late 19th and early 20th century.
Tarzan accompanied by the fierce Waziri warriors.
As a young adult, Tarzan meets a young American woman, Jane Porter. When Jane returns to the United States, Tarzan leaves the
jungle in search of her, his one true love. After many adventures Tarzan and Jane marry and move back and forth between England and Africa. Tarzan becomes contemptuous of what he sees as the hypocrisy
of civilization, and he and Jane return to Africa, making their home on
an extensive estate that becomes a base for Tarzan's adventures.
Chief Busuli of the Waziri, Jane Porter and Lieutenant D'Arnot.
Rules for including Tarzan in the world of In Her Majesty's Name can be found at The Ministry of Gentlemanly Warfare.
One of the Mangani great apes.
Tantor.
Tarzan and his allies protecting the lost city of Opar.
The Tarzan figure is by Wargames Foundry as is the figure portraying D'Arnot. Jane is from Copplestone Castings and the Waziri are hard plastic Zulu figures from Warlord Games. The great ape and elephant are both plastic toys I purchased in a set of African animal toys.
