Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

I'm looking forward to see these guys.

A toast to the new figs!!

Master Barliman would you please be so good and bring me another drink, mine is nearly gone...



Don't look at me like that! Size doesn't matter, or does it now?

Hello hsf62,

hmm, hope this nice baby is yours and not you yourself? Seems, that the little one likes Barlimans drinks more than mother's milk.

If the hobbit-sized one is you, I am NOT very surprised about your great conversions: with such small fingers it is easy to handle small 32mm figures.

Look, let's clear this up once and for all - there's nothing wrong with my scrumpy! It's the quality of your taste-buds that's questionable. Probably in consequence of drinking too much scrumpy, I'll allow...

Ah, I assume that's the new Mordor chappies on the GW 'Sneak peeks' page? Yes, those Black Numenoreans are extremely horrible, aren't they? As someone observed on The Last Alliance website, GW seem to be finally turning the corner from a LOTR strategy game to a Fantasy game 'inspired' by LOTR - which is not the same thing at all. Once again, though, it's worth emphasising that these monstrosities are the work of the seriously untalented Gary Morley. I wonder why GW ever employed him?

Huooommmm .... rhuoommm ... why are all of you always seem to be so much concerned about that GW and Morley stuff? ... huom ... I don't even have a look at those things any more ... hom.
Methinks that's why I don't have to drain down that scrumpy liquid in such gallon-measured masses ...... rhuoommmm .... it seems that those GW whatever-things cause serious damage to your health .... huoommmmm ... Sorry, Master Barliman, with this I really don't want to affect your business ... hom

Huuooooommmrhuuommm ... so, just as you like it ... hom ... it's all right

Hello, hello,

I was next door and clearly I heard the words free scrumpy! Bring it on Master Barkeep. A toast to the save arrival of the Lady!

If Mithril goes on with this system in the second round, what do they do if two minis get the same ammount of votes? A third round?

Huuoommmm ... I don't appreciate that way of voting either ... rhuoomm ... to me it always was a pleasure to have a look at the development how votings went .. hom it became a habit, so to say  ... huomm ... just for fun ... hom.... besides reading and enjoying the comments .... Rhuoommm ... so meseems there's no need for keeping up that thread any more ... hom ... reduced to being a ballot box .... huoomm ... once opened a month ... alas ... rhuoommm ...
I do not like it .... as it implies a lack of communication methinks .... hom.

Huoommmrhuoomm ... I do not know who thought of that being a good idea .... rhuoommm ... honestly, I don't. ... rhuom ... and I don't know why ... hom. ... I just can confirm that I always voted (except one time - as I had to spend some days abroad at the time my vote should have been casted ...) hom ... anyway
HUomm... usually I do not comment on the process of votes given and arguments for pros and cons ... huoommm ... I simply enjoyed following the process ... rhuoomm ... I do mean that I enjoyed ... hom ... so I cannot understand what a, what you call a "tactical voting", could be about ...  rhuoommm ...
Huoommm ... another bowl of clear clean water, please, Master Barliman ....
HOOOMmmrhuommm .. as I never suggested any idea for an MS-release ... huommm ...and will keep to this habit of mine ... you might say what does it matter ... if things are being changed ...hom ... to me it means that part of my interest in the monthly developments of voting will be cut decisively ... rhuoomm ....
In future it will just be necessary to log in twice a month for first voting and second having a look at the results. .... rhuoommmm ... that's how communicaction goes ... hom ... no comments, no interaction ... rhuoommm ...
Alas, I forgot, Master Barliman what would you like to have ... a scrumpy?

I see Michael now has a poll up and running so members can vote on their preferred voting system. Good idea.

I also see that yet another Mw347 pikeman is up on eBay - he's probably been there a few days, but I've been too busy to take a look recently. He's only £9 so far, though, despite 15 bids. But his appearance begs the question: how many of these comb-helmeted pikemen were cast? Virtually none of the other Mw347s have ever come up on eBay as individual figures, yet this dude comes up again and again (and again...), as if the world is full of them. I did some maths once, from information given to me by The Man, and his gifts to people, and the number of known eBay sales, and it seems to me that there must have been at least 60 to 80 castings of this particular figure - but apparently not of any of the others. Odd, that, but there must have been a reason. I wonder what it was?

Yes, but the figures I know of are all genuine originals, not knock-offs; and yet we see more of this comb-helmeted pikeman than any of the other Mw figures. Do you think that for some reason The Man produced a test-mould of just this one figure? That's always a possibility, I suppose, though it begs the question that if he did, why did he? It's all academic really, because I don't suppose we'll ever know the answer. It just seems odd to me that there seem to be way more of these pike guys than any of the other Half-orcs.
