Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

well Mithril has "mouths to feed" too . They could not rely only upon GF figurines not enough money income... And though with my baby to come (and home to change...) I will have less money to spare for Mithril I can easily understand that undertaking (and carrying on) such a collection costs (and should cost) some money, at least enough money to ensure those wonderful people in Ireland , and Chris in England manage to live out of it...
I would be very sad to see mithril close because they are bankrupt... besides there is the agenda problem of Chris... Mithril has the problem of having a single sculptor... maybe if Chris had an assistant... but that would put mithril spirit and "design" in jeopardy if the student does not sculpt the same way as the master...

The latest campaign of special offers are very well for me. I have relatively recently joined the GF, there are many figures that I have to complete and that these discounts are more affordable me ...

I believe that the rebates and the reduction in the emission GF 150 is the product of a policy of reducing stock. When there are economic recession is good releasing stores....

An extra two weeks to work on the Dol Amroth guys!  Get painting y'all. 

Mine are coming along.  I'll post some pics of them in the gallery section a bit later when they're more finished.   I think David will beat me on volume alone since I'm only painting three. 

Huuuooommm .... I just received the two new releases ... huommm ... as for Willi I can say that it clearly is mutton (I licked at it) .... rhuoommm ... but what is it he carries in his back pocket? ..
seems to be some kind of angry smily .... hom ... well, then I'm not yet decided what to think of that Ramses-figure .... huooommm ... maybe a large bowl of that clear-clean-appely-tasting-honey-couloured liquid might solve my problem ... so, please, Master Barliman, may I have one ?

How do you know it's Ramases III - did you lick him as well?

I shan't be buying him anyway, I'm afraid - the costume doesn't fit with my personal mental picture of how Numenorean kings might have looked (and yes, I know that JRRT himself intimated that he saw Numenor as culturally similar to Ancient Egypt; I've just never been able to fit the idea into my own Middle-earth 'world-picture').

William, however, I'll probably buy once I've rustled up a bit of cash.

Your drink is on the bar, Master Tree. (By the way, as a tree and therefore, by definition, a vegetarian, how do you know what mutton tastes like?)

Rhuooommmmm .... first of all I never did lick any of those Ramesseses neither the first nor the second one ... huoommm ... I in fact kept apart from those beings ... hom .... as for Númenor being similar to Ancient Egypt (concerning sources JRRT used or referred to) I do completely understand your inability to fit that culture into a Middle-Earth picture, Master Barliman ..... hom .
Same with me, by the way .... rhuooommm ... so your personal mental picture about Númenorians might still be right, meseems ...... homhomhom ... as for the muttonny-taste .... hom ... that's a good one, Master Barliman .... hom ... so, well ... alas ... huooommm ...  well, sometimes ... you know ... or ... well ... hum ... let's say a good-old roasted mutton is far more better than what we had to chew up at Helm's Deep ... rhuommm ... that's why I strictly keep to clear clean water for quite a while now .... and no vegetables ... huooommm .. here Mistress Wendy is perfectly right .... huooommm

I've heard from customers who like my economy burgers-in-a-bun that Orc tastes rather like barbecued chicken.

Master Ent, it is the Troll's purse!!! I specifically asked for it, lol, but can't for the life of me remember if it is indeed William that has the purse (well the book is not at hand). Smiley indeed

Strange how some minds think alike - I too thought ancient Egypt, though no specific Pharoah.

And...

I see Peder Hammarskiold's excellent Mithril resource, Shaping Middle Earth, has come back.

Huoommmmm .... he also did some nice conversions .... hom

I found the site way back when, when I was trying to figure out if I wanted to start collecting Mithrils again. It's where I got the washers-as-wargaming-base idea that I use so much.

The site hasn't been updated since it was taken down, but its still worth seeing. I love the Mirkwood river scene and the Laketown paint schemes. If you follow the links, there's a page by a guy called "Orclord" (I think) who has some cool battle report shots of a defending the Shire scenario.

yeah I have orclord site in my bookmarks, but it is quite incomplete... it was a good reference guide though
