More Warlord Games - US PT Boats

Now I have a Squadron of four courtesy of Miniature Wargames giveaway (see below, that coupled with the Wargames Illustrated giveaway have enabled the US to field a squadron in the Channel or Pacific - the latter would require some 1/350 Japanese Destroyer targets though):


Assembled is one thing .. painting is another. Do I go for the crazy stripe camouflage I remember from the Revel catalogue of my youth? Whereas I was impressed with the models, I cannot say in all honesty without them I would have purchased the magazine (although I did spot some interesting new products I otherwise would not be aware of). However it did carry an insane of £10 for a year's in print subscription! Has anybody taken this up?

    I rarely buy a magazine anymore, even with a dubious Warlord Games product attached.

    I hardly buy a Wargames magazines anymore, even with a dubious Warlord Games plastic product attached.

    I went for the 9.99 subscription, it's done by direct debit so I need to cancel before it become 9.99 per quarter. Certainly wouldn't buy it full price without a give-away sprue

    I think some of the wargames mags will go under in the next year or so. The £9.99 thing smacks of desperation to me. Am not a fan of the Warlord product so the sprues do not entice me to part with my cash.

    I prefer WSS but have started to flip over to the digital version so I can print off the bits I'm interested in.

    Thanks for the feedback - quality wise I think WSS has the edge IMHO but even that I am sometimes "stretched for a reason to buy" - I prefer blogs!
