Re: The Taproom

You're only saying that because it's the only kitchen in Bree.

Re: The Taproom

No riddle? - what is the world coming to? And I knew it was intended as a compliment, Master Tree, and it's much appreciated. Now, go and stand in the corner so that Nob and Bob can cover you in tinsel, lights, chocoloate decorations, fake snow, fairy-lights, beads, bangles, baubles and bits.

Re: The Taproom

And then, there three.

Or four, depending.

Yes, I've been painting up all my half painted Prince August CH figures. They represent several years of buying the things, half painting them and then going right back to the far better Mithrils. But I thought they'd be cool for a Dungeons and Dragons game. The results aren't amazing. Lots of the figures are weirdly sculpted with very broad details. They don't like much of the undercoat I've used. Painting onto older paint is never that useful.

I also lost my CH Enchantress figure in the move, which is hardly the end of the world, but it bugs me nonetheless. She may be in my worst packed minis box, but far as I am concerned if she doesn't turn up today, she's not here. A mild pity, one which tugs at my little collector's heart. Though really, I want to finish up these PA fantasy figures and go back to Mithrils for a while. I'll do the hordes of PA orcs and so on in little batches of six, afterwards. I am also going to order the Armoured Cleric from the PA site (even though I just really need one of the poses, not all three) and paint him along with the Female Warrior, the Druid, and the Celtic Warrior over Christmas.

But beyond all that, I am looking forward to finishing up all the half painted guys this evening or tomorrow and move on.

Re: The Taproom

Not a clue.

And, I had to finally give up on my CH 22. Two paint jobs, then a conversion attempt, and the creeping feeling that she would never be anything other than a silly figure. Her arm had been damaged in a fall. I tried some other ideas this evening, just to finish her up, but it was not to be. She was eventually removed from her base and sent to the bag of waste metal to be melted down.

Consider it akin to a viking funeral. That she is giving her form to give form to other creatures (well, Orcs, maybe). Her fate has inspired a series of D+D encounters, so that's alright (going to use the spare Elf slave from a Mirumor and Carangil set as the ill fated thief, who has finally been apprehended to represent the thief formally known as CH 22).

Re: The Taproom

That there will be no riddle this time was a bit predictable, wasn´t it.
There are lots of things to do, and the abilities are limited, also for a Tree ! wink

A nice cup of tea would fill my heart with joy, Master Barliman.

Re: The Taproom

well I think you could do a wonderful... strange and "adult" vignette if you make a vignette out of M99 victim, Carangil from M324, some of the PM1 and PM2  and the NPC1 (dragon victims) from PA figurines   now what male could be in the middle of this scene?

two bad Shaaranon and Achmiri are in 54mm wink

Re: The Taproom

Huooommm ... very nice ideas around here in the past ... huom ... so, before I'll have to stay quiet in here for a while I just want to tell that today I received the "White Council"-vignette ... huommm ... it's an absolutely amazing and heavy piece ... hom ... seems to be a real challenge for all the skilled painters around here ... huoommm ... which I am not (and I also don't have the time for it - or have you ever seen a Christmas tree painting tiny metal things?) ... huoom ...
I also found a small voucher in the parcel, saying "Merry Christmas" at the front ... huoomm ... a very nice gesture from the Company, I think ... rhuoommm ... hom

Re: The Taproom

I need a strong drink myself, in order to calm down ... The insurance weasels have declined to pay for the "incidentals" of my cancelled holiday (car parking, cattery bill, etc) on the grounds that they only pay such compensation on delayed or cancelled return flights, not outward flights. Can anyone understand that?

I've never yet encountered an insurance company that honours the concept of "insurace". Perhaps I should send them a dictionary so that they can look it up.

(Retires into a corner muttering amd blaspheming...)

Re: The Taproom

Governments have never been funny. We have a pollitical party in Bree called "The Raving Loony Party", and I often think that the only reason they never win any seats is because the other parties are actually even loonier.

But I don't find insurance companies even remotely funny.
