hasty I am ... to hasty maybe... anyway what's done is done smile

Theobald · Mon, Nov30 2009 11:09am

Huoommmm ... I just received the new figures ... huoommm ... so by now there is an army of Witch Kings here ... anyway, those figures really are nice and I do like this Black Númenorian as the pose is very dynamic .... rhuoommmm ... though I still don't like the new primer, but we know about that problem already ... hommmm

Barliman · Mon, Nov30 2009 11:48am

The primer is still the same?? - I thought it was being changed?

Arthadan · Mon, Nov30 2009 11:57am

Personally, I have always found the primer too thick to my taste. And anyway, it gets stripped when you remove the mould lines so I can't really understand the point of priming before removing mould lines...

Theobald · Mon, Nov30 2009 12:16pm

Well, I can (and have to) live with that primer, and yes, it was said once that it was being changed ... rhuoommm ... though I doubt; the surface still is too smooth which does not support painting very much ... rhuoommm ... but as I have not had time for painting figures for some years now it really doesn't matter ... huoommm ... to me those primed miniatures look better than without any undercoating ... hom

Arthadan · Mon, Nov30 2009 12:35pm

That's true, and they're better protected against humidity and such (but then, they would be protected well enough in the blisters).

Theobald · Mon, Nov30 2009 12:51pm

Huooommmmmmrhuoommmm ... as for another matter, I just again tried to keep my records concerning all those tiny miniatures updated ... huoommm ... I witnessed that until now there are no M520 to M529 figures being released ... hom ... 10 figures are missing ... any idea about who they are? ... rhuoommm ... maybe the 'Strawheads' or even the long forgotten 'Easterlings'?

Barliman · Mon, Nov30 2009 1:55pm

I suspect they're the long forgotten Easterlings. I gathered from The Man a while ago that he's not happy to see them released until there's a way of economically producing them as separate horse-and-rider castings - as you'll recall, he was VERY unhappy about the Knights of Dol Amroth coming out as one-piece castings. I shall have to enquire after them again...

Theobald · Mon, Nov30 2009 2:46pm

Huoommmm ... yes, I do remember the disappointment about those "one-piece" riders of Dol Amroth well, Master Barliman ... rhuoommm ... and as there are so many riders among the Easterlings you might be right guessing that those numbers might refer to them ... alas .... I just wish that problem could be settled soon .... rhuoommm .... I might also inquire again ... rhuoommm ... I just forgot - that's why I called them "long forgotten", you know ... hoommm ... anyway, thank you ... oh, by now I assembled those two bad guys ... rhuoommm ... very nice poses and fine details .... that Black Númenorian offers wonderful possibilities to paint his garment with fine details and patterns ... huoommm ... I wish I could ...

Gildor Inglorion · Mon, Nov30 2009 2:48pm

well the strawheads are not released but produced and I even think I have "witnessed" pics of them... well yes I actually have (but I can't disclose any pics... )
Unless the easterlings are completly ready for production, I think it's the strawheads...

about the primer... the black numenorean captain is a bit thick yes... lesser than before but still thick... as for the Witch king, it is... almost fine... let's say... nothing compared to the huge amount of thickness of the past releases...

Barliman · Mon, Nov30 2009 3:18pm

Yes, the Tree's 'missing' number sequence might indeed be the 'Death to the Strawheads' figures. I too have seen pictures of the Strawheads (as I recall mentioning some months ago), and there are certainly ten of them; and the fact that the missing number sequence comes almost right after the Gamling & Co release certainly suggests it is the Dunlendings rather than the Easterlings that these numbers are intended for. Apologies for the confusion (or wishful thinking, perhaps...)

But the Easterlings are finished. Or at least, so The Man told me quite some while ago (it may even have been last year).

Theobald · Mon, Nov30 2009 3:34pm

Huooommm ... finished they are, Master Barliman, and it must have been last year ... rhuoommm .. I would also like to apologize for some confusion I might have caused .. hom ...
but that's me, tree ...

Gildor Inglorion · Mon, Nov30 2009 3:47pm

Master Barliman my dear, I think you owe me some good drink... I came to pay my bills and all the bills of all the patrons here... All debts are now erased...
The Pony "bills" and all around it (the whold faerylands.eu) has been renewed for year 2010 smile

Theobald · Mon, Nov30 2009 4:05pm

Huuoommmmmrhuoommm ... that's worth to have a drink indeed ... rhuoommm ... and thank you for all that, Master Gildor ... thank you very much ... rhuoommmm ...

Barliman · Mon, Nov30 2009 4:12pm

Celebratory news indeed - I think the Elf shows a great deal of quality in paying off everyone else's tabs as well as his own. All due kudos to him.

Arthadan · Mon, Nov30 2009 5:37pm

Hantalë, Master Elf! Such a warm and nice place this tavern, with such a warm and nice people. smile

Theobald · Mon, Nov30 2009 6:28pm

Huoommm ... ent a tree, please ... rhuoommm sorry end a tree, means .. sorry spelling was not the first think I learned ..

OriginalAragorn · Tue, Dec1 2009 4:42pm

Christmas must be near! After all, I just received a nice "Care Package" from a German friend in Australia! smile

jdbrown55 · Tue, Dec1 2009 6:46pm

I imagine that is a great "package" you have there. He is really a great friend, that German! lol

Gavin · Wed, Dec2 2009 1:44am

Tonight, for the first time in months...I painted something.

Granted, it was just fixing undercoating, but...it's a start.

Might get those two Knights of Dol Amroth painted soon. Barring incident or accident. They've only been in the stripping pot...thrice.

Gavin

jdbrown55 · Wed, Dec2 2009 5:03am

I understand Gavin, not painting for several months. I am in the process of getting motivated again.

Can't wait to see more of your work.

Gildor Inglorion · Wed, Dec2 2009 8:29am

well me too... not painted anything in months, actually since my baby was born...

Barliman · Wed, Dec2 2009 10:36am

Lots of painting done, but no babies to worry about (if you exclude Nob and the cat)...Bliss!

Gildor Inglorion · Wed, Dec2 2009 10:46am

You forget about Bob my dear wink Nob and Bob...

Barliman · Wed, Dec2 2009 10:52am

Ah, but Bob's not a baby, happily, since the horses would tread on him if he was that small.
