Huoommmm .... thanks for your support in that matter, Master Barliman ... hom ... and as for using orc-skins as substitute doormats .... rhuooommm ... it was a jest, so to say .... huoomm.

Barliman · Mon, Mar24 2008 12:49pm

Having just read his other posts, I suspect that Gavinradon (or whatever) is probably quite young and, er, lacking in tact and subtlety. It seems that he expects all Mithril figures to be designed entirely for use in wargames.

Theobald · Mon, Mar24 2008 3:22pm

Huoommm ... that's what I guess ... hom ... but let me add that your reply was more than polite ... rhuooommmm ... but, alas, that's just as you are as long as matters are not about those obscure tab-things .... rhuoommm ... may I have a bowl of that clear clean water, please, Master Barliman? ....

Gavin · Tue, Mar25 2008 1:42pm

Well, I said nice and calm things to my namesake. smile

Uhm...wasn't the new MX meant to go on sale today?

And why is it still winter (though we have cool icicles!)?

Barliman · Tue, Mar25 2008 1:59pm

Yes, our flourishing spring flowers didn't look too clever under a layer of snow yesterday either...

Theobald · Tue, Mar25 2008 4:45pm

Huoommmm ... about the MX-release I learned that it was sceduled for the early spring ... hom ... but as we all witness at the moment it's still winter outside, isn't it? ... rhuoommm ... well, then we all know that the Company's reputation is of being not hasty at all .... huoommm ...
I did not receive any news about that rider for many days ... or weeks? .... huoommm.
Oh, Master Gavin, cool icicles are better than cool bicycles .... huom

Gavin · Tue, Mar25 2008 5:03pm

Well Master Michael said thusly:

Apart from the Vote this month, Mithril Miniatures is proud to annouce the release of Imrahil MX463 next week. I will have it up on our website by this Friday.
The Christmas figure ('07) will be released at the same time.
However we have decided to provide the first 50 subscribers with a special offer.

"This Friday" is the question. Did he mean last Friday (it was sent on Thursday), or as I now suspect, the Friday coming?

Oh well. I have husbanded my money. I will be able to afford Imrahil, and the new Thranduil (which will have that base removed immediately). Whee!

Gavin

Not to be hasty but you can order MX463 now from the website.

Yes it is ordered (Imrahil) assuming I turned off the correct Firewall as per the web site, but the autoshipment process seems to have broken down (I have not had a request for Anduril Yet) so I thought I'd best be hasty and order it straight away just in case.

Ah it is good to be back, even if it is a lot cooler here and it takes a long time to go through all the emails and read the various posts.

The Corsairs are finished and images sent to Michael, although I hope he has recieved them as he has not acknowledged having received them. Still, for me it was a record to paint a complete range in such a short time!

Any chance of a drink kind host, I have gold in my purse and stories to tell of far off lands.

Gavin · Tue, Mar25 2008 9:18pm

And ordered.

I was going to get two Corsairs if there was a decent enough lead time - like two weeks or so. But I couldn't really justify two orders in one month.

Anyway, its done. These look great!

Barliman · Tue, Mar25 2008 10:15pm

Ah, you may have your purse with you, Master Daines, but I'll wager there's very few coiny things left in it. Otherwise you wouldn't dare to mix with the riffraff and cutpurses who frequent the common room here on a busy night.

Still, I can always chalk up another mark on your slate if you're really thirsty.

Sadly I just haven't got the time myself to paint up any of the Corsairs in time for this contest, which may be just as well - Bob's cat hasn't forgiven me for relieving his tail of a few hairs when I refreshed my brush last time.

Theobald · Tue, Mar25 2008 10:33pm

Huooommmrhuoommm ... hom .... so this company surprises me for being right in time to offer that Imrahil ... huoommm ... what I can say is that I agreed with The Man to release that MX-metal thing before the Swan Knights follow .... rhuoommm ... then Master O'Brian suggested to have those figures released the end of March ... hom ... so it works ... but we had to be sure that The Man will finish the figure in time .... rhuoommm ... but he managed and I'm more than happy about this ... hom ... he did a brilliant job and the figure is superb, methinks .... hom ....
Friday .... rhuoommm ... I thought about next Friday (28th) ...
Well, the coincidence of releasing the Christmas figure at the same time was just meant to start the .... huoomm .... "new" year with massive releases from the Company ... hom ...
As for those MX-variants I already recieved a lot of queries within the last weeks .... rhuoomm...
But let me state here again that they were not produced for commerce ... so they are not available ... rhuoomm ... just gifts for good old friends .... huoommmm ... I hope you understand that .... huoommm ... nice pics in the newsletter ....
so I'll sit back awhile and taste some of that more honey-coloured liquid ... hom ... I could give you a tab for that, Master Barliman .... as that seems to be the currency used here .... hom

Barliman · Wed, Mar26 2008 6:42am

I'll let you have this one for free. Master Tree, since you have something worth celebrating. So, do you believe the Swan Knights will be out before the end of this week? After all, that's all of the month of March that's left to us.

Hey Hoo!!

All this talk about riff raffs! wink
I was given some information by some secret sources, that the deadline of the painting contest could be put at the end of April instead of March. Seems that many more folk had problems with the delivery of the corsairs and then glueing them (undercoat them in necessary) and then paint paint paint.

So please another drink to drown my woe about that snow!

Huoommmm .... No, Master Barliman, the Swan Knights won't be out in March .... rhuoomm ... sorry that I caused that misunderstanding ... hom ... the plural in my last entry was wrong ... I was referring to the MX when I said "Master O'Brian suggested to have [those] that figure[s] released the end of March" .... huoommm .... sorry again .... maybe it happened because of those frozen twigs that try to meet the correct keys on the board .... hom ... or my senility ...

Really? Damnit. Guess I should go buy two then!

Speaking of snow, it's turning into a bit of a Long Winter here! Another 3 inches of snow last night, now melting off.... It does get tiresome. Nice to have an extension on the Corsair deadline. I might actually get some finished now!

Wendy · Fri, Mar28 2008 7:14pm

Remember you only have to paint two of them. smile

Barliman · Sat, Mar29 2008 6:25am

Only two? Hmmm....so. where is that dratted cat? I'm sure the tip of his tail needs another trim.

Barliman · Thu, Apr3 2008 9:06pm

Aha, I've just got my MX Imrahil in the post, and what a truly excellent figure he is. But whose head is that he's got under his arm, Master Tree? - unless I'm going mad (always a distinct possibility), if you look inside the helmet you'll see a definite face looking back at you...

Theobald · Fri, Apr4 2008 11:53am

Huoommmmm ... unfortunately I did not receive a single figure of those MXs so far .... huommm. Seems to be the same that those commissioning MXs are the last to receive the figures ... huomm ... strange strategy that is, methinks .... rhuoommm ... anyway, thank you for the nice words, Master Barliman ... hom ... about that face, well, I have to consider .... rhuom.

Same here Barli, but now I have got to have a look to see if I can see a face as you have mentioned roll .

As I've posted on the Mithril site this figure is a 'Jewel in the Crown' for me, there has always been something about the Knights of Dol Amroth and Imrahil that got the imagination fired up ever since I was a kid and first read the book.

Superb, excellent figure big_smile .

Barliman · Fri, Apr4 2008 7:14pm

I quite agree. And the figure is one of The Man's very best. A gem.

Hi Jason,
Have a beer and read your messages

jdbrown55 · Mon, Apr7 2008 4:15pm

Thanks for the beer, boy was I thirsty! As I read my message I have sent you a couple in return.
Oh, and hello everyone! big_smile
