Stopped by MM with the intent of picking up some figs in their marchmadness sale.....bought other stuff instead

12 zombicide zombivors, the zombie version of the 12 figures from Rue Morgue. They have already been primed and are now drying. Also picked up some sort of basing sand $2, and 5 more paints at $2 each. There were some other items on the shelf that i passed on, like Star Wars Armada starter sets, one was 50% off and the other was 60%off due to box damage. Saw some other interesting items, but nothing screaming buy me.

EditL Painted up 3 more survivors, well 2 survivors and a Zombivor.

Shannon the head shaved girl and dude with a baseball bat to start (can't remember his name)

Starting to feel an itch to scratch build......and buy a ton of stuff from the MM march madness sale. When I say a ton, I'm taking 100+ miniatures . I keep hoping someone wlse buys them first.

Slight detour by Miniaturemarket.......again. I cleared them out of the Alkemy Triad booster boxes. 13@2.50 each=65 figures for Kings of War.

39 archers, 26 spearpersons. I already have some of these figures (very crisp details), but I think the new ones I'll be painting green and using in a Herd army that I'm devising using the rest of my Alkemy figures to build up. I'm thinking more of a mixed army of mainly humans with the beasts being the spirit beasts that the humans evolve into. Even though these are more Asian styled I think they can become more like a nomadic native american indian culture. Need to work on the totem poles concept next.

Huh. Neat. TGI don't live as close to MM as Theo... The hold order system is bad enough, proximity would destroy me.

Hahaha! Theo, your other half must love you a lot the way you keep hitting the MM for more hobby crack lol.

So envious, so looking forward to seeing this army though, have seen Minus painting these things up, they look fab. Whole army of them will be splendid.

Thanks Guys,

My wife is a beautiful woman who doesn't ask too many questions, mostly because she wouldn't like the answer.

I had an itch.....so it was time to scratch.......build. It's been a while, and might not live up to expectations, but here's a first look.

I'll entertain guesses.......Animal, Vegetable or Mineral

I'd recognise a wooden hut anywhere, no matter what angle your idevice decides to rotate the picture.

Good to see some scratch-building again.

Nice try Dr. H, But this is no mere wooden hut
The next piece of the puzzle.


an outhouse????? Nope

and why would a roof tilt up on a wooden hut unless stuff goes inside of it?



But what insidiousness would lurk inside of this beast ready to jump out and take a castle by storm?

Its a bunny...a wooden bunny device, I think it had to with some blokes that used to sit around a ...round table...and clap with nutshells cause of an oil shortage...am I right?

Greetings mister

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Of course it would be Vik (Welcome back My Friend) that figures it out.


also an interior view where they are suppossed to hide


comfortably sits 4, possibly more.

I just need to figure out a front door and back door and how to fit them so they work.

does the front roof with the head have an actual working angle? that´d be over cool^^ i think you captured the likeness really good!

and i lurked...from time to time...and boy... you are productive...in painting and shopping... i recently got me a good amount of tau...there is no hope for the addicted

damn... must re-learn to read

well...small brass angles? the ones you find on cheap wooden boxes?

Will you be making a wooden badger as well?

Ah well, that's even better.

Awesome. Now, you must go to the highest tree in the forest and cut it down with... A HERRING!

Trojan Rabbit. Nice use of craft sticks. Can you make it breath fire

Also, what is it with Brits and Badgers anyway?

Badgers are badass. Seriously. Check out the Honey Badger. See also, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Very nice and I will just leave this here, incase you need something to scratch

And to my eternal shame, I forgot about the MP&tHG reference. It's just that I see Britons make many a reference to badgers, and never knew why.

Theo, instead of doors, just build ramps that drop down drawbridge style.

No wooden Badger isn't planned, it did recieve a double facepalm afterall

Dr H wrote:Ah well, that's even better.

Well it's kind of like a hut, just not up to your or Grimdorks hut/cabin quality. THe sticks are cheap enough that I might try and build a hut or twelve.

NI I say to you.

I don't think it will breath fire, it might float in water though, but i'll have to see if it weighs as much as a duck.

Well student loans are happening now, so the buying will cease for the most part. I will eventually get ALL of those. With the KOW rules I could easily see that being the core of an army.

Damnit Theo, why did you go and buy up all the Alkemy triad boxes? I liked being able to buy 2-3 every time I made an order Now I will never be able to play 3000 point games of Ronin!

Well in my defense they were on that silly march madness sale, I asked them how many they had and they had 40. The next morning I stopped by again after deciding to buy 20 of them and they only had 13 left, so I bought what I could. So you can only blame me for 1/3 of the total items being bought

They had 5 more on the shelf in the dinged and dented section, I'm going to see if they'll match the price from the sale tomorrow and possibly pick them up too.

Man, you really cleared that shop.

Nice Trojan Horse, impressive building skills.

EDC

I picked up a few of the clearanced alkem y stuff on ghe last day of the sale. 9 minis for 10 bucks so e en if they're not what I'm expecting I shouldn't be too upset.

That place is gonna bleed you dry Theo, and they're trying g to get me too with their damn hold option.

YEah, I think I need a restraining order from them I wish it had been in place this morning

I missed the KS, but I just got a deal on the box set at Miniature Markets brick and mortar retail store (it's 2 miles from my home).

60% off because of box damage.

corner of the box was damaged, but only damage done inside was to the cardboard that surrounds the boardgame tiles.

It will be a while before I get on these.

Bwahaha seriously Theo you need to rein yourself in lol. All these impulse buys!

The rabbit is so cool Theo you really outdid yourself this time

We need a cow now as well though for the catapult

Looking forwards to when you crack open your AvP box.

The Trojan Rabbit is great idea! Hilarious! Looked like one of the gribblies tried to gnaw his way out of the box

Folks, I think somebody (or bodies) needs to head over to Theo's house and stage an intervention. Or play some games. Either way, do bring refreshments.

Me, me, me please!!!!!

Bugger......ocean!
