Some fun with miniatures
« on: August 18, 2012, 12:16:57 pm »
A few days ago I ordered 7 dwarven priests from Reaper Miniatures, and I couldn't help but include a dwarf fortress reference in the special instructions section
here's the invoice that came with them (perhaps over-cautiously edited).

Ok, people, admit it.
Who of you did this?

I don't see how this is surprising or weird.

The cynic in me thinks it's sort of surprising that people read those.  Also, in this case it was read by awesome people!!    :D

Neat. It's nice to know that it passed through human hands at some point.

I am currently investigating what Brainfreez is on. It is the greatest drug that any man, woman, kobold or pony has ever seen, going off of that everything he posts is pure win.

Not true, not everyone here is human. Plus I'd be scared to ever find out what a "regular" Bay watcher was... Terrifying thoughts indeed.

ordered 7 of this guy

A year ago, the friend that introduced me to dwarf fortress passed away  :(...so I got one of these guys and jb-welded it to a rock I put by his headstone.  When I last went to visit, the dwarf had been pried from the rock.  So this time I decided to get backup   :)...seven seemed like a logical number (fortress dwarves after-all)...and since they're all the same, whoever stole the first one will have less incentive to do it again...

Awesome.

I was thinking more along the lines of this legendary champion, all clad in dented and dinged up steel plate, his blood-drenched axe slung over his back, a notch in the handle for every enemy that saw the swing of that blade as the last sight they ever saw, a battered shield strapped over his arm... and a fluffy, pink stuffed hippo hidden discretely in his breastplate.

Give them all little adamantine weapons (but not blunt weapons!) and paint the shirts the color corresponding to a weapon lord of that type. Then put all seven on to start a new fortress :)

The only thing depressing about that was the loss of a friend, I see a thanks to everything done in life being done in a meaningful way for those still living to appreciate.

Paint would encourage them to be re-stolen.
