Re: THE TAPROOM 3
In april PA is trying to build biggest battlefield ever made: Waterloo with 20.000 soldiers painted !
This must be a tremendous work. I assume mithril miniatures will come may, 2 per month, like they did last year.

Re: THE TAPROOM 3
Who on ME could steal such army? For what purpose ?
I hope this not true and by the way master barliman, I need 2nd breakfast unless you want me to explain GNSS again.

Re: THE TAPROOM 3
Happily it isn't true after all. It was an April 1 "fool's day" hoax.
Breakfast coming up - anything is better than being told about GNSS.....

Re: THE TAPROOM 3
Huoomm ... done, Master Gildor ... rhûomm ... you were absolutely right pointing out that backlog in Mithril-production and telling that the sculpted figures from The Man are somehow stuck up in the "production-line" of Mithril without Mithril knowing about them ... huom ... I would not be surprised ... huom ... alas, then the agreement for production (copyrights, or what it's called) might even take more time .... ggrrrrûoômmm ... so one copyright per month for each figure by now means 12 months ... huom? ... that is for the backlog ... alas ... this only gets on my nerves, it simply is ... you know what .... grûhuoooôm ...
by now meseems it's better to cancel that "autoshipment" as every figure released (if ever) could be purchased cheaper later on with a discount or sales price ... gggrrrrrrr°UOOOOHM ... so where's the sense in it anymore?
Huomm ... Master Barliman, would you please serve me a bowl filled with some of that clear-clean-watery-honey-couloured-non-sparkling-liquid ... ? ... er, amber-colour would also do, yes, please ... huuuooooommm

Re: THE TAPROOM 3
I have put my two cents into the post too. Also I am sending michael a link to the thread, because I was once told by him, that he is not cheking the messages on the forums everyday. This way maybe we get a faster reaction.

Re: THE TAPROOM 3
mmh I have not tried to contact Chris by email of late, so I don't really know .
Last time we spoke was in february, and it was more than one mail per day (due to my "melted"Isildur 93 problem)

Re: THE TAPROOM 3
indeed he has answered... the diplomatic answer, which does not solve anything... but I would not have expected anything more anyway 
that would be too much to ask...

Re: THE TAPROOM 3
It's very nice sitting outside in the yard at the moment. Have a cold glass of white wine, that's what you need. Or a very cold lager.

A pity he does not take it as serious as some on here take our hobby . I myself am about to open a bottle of
'Fursty Ferret' beer ((not sold in this esteemed establishment though).
Cheers to all .

Fursty Ferret from Badger Brewery? Of course it's served here! Tom Bombadil introduced me to the badgers himself.

This is the reason for me, not contacting The Man anymore at all . . .

It's very frustrating when you want to discuss a bit a won proposition. Last year I got answers within a week and now ... just nothing

Dunno... people supporting the company, pehaps? Don't look at me, I just completed my Ents collection last week with the discount promotion.
Changing the topic a bit, I do like Mithril Ents. Overall look has te right feel and height is spot on. Treebeard is said to be at least 14 feet (4 metres) tall and assuming a true 25mm miniature would be 1.50 meters tall in real life (so Mithril's scale of 32 mm would be 1.80 meters), Treebeard miniature should be 66 mm tall.. and that's what he is!
But I think they'd need to be more "tree-like" (meaning their bodies should resemble proportions of different kinds of tree) and Treebeard's feet had seven toes (yep, it's in the book).
The Ents were as different from one another as trees from trees: some as different as one tree is from another of the same name but quite different growth and history; and some as different as one tree-kind from another, as birch from beech; oak from fir. There were a few older Ents, bearded and gnarled like hale but ancient trees (though none looked as ancient as Treebeard); and there were tall strong Ents, clean-limbed and smooth-skinned like forest-trees in their prime; but there were no young Ents, no saplings.
