Centaurs and Wolves ~ Oh My !

Here's a quick snap of the Centaurs and (Giant) Wolves that I have finished now.

Since The Valiant Tim the Younger is coming to aid the AEves of the Citadel of the Evening Star with his Centaurs and (Giant) Wolves I painted up a few more Wolves for him to choose from . . .

Yep!  I got four more (Giant) Wolves painted tonight!  Sure their base colors and inkings were done years ago . . .  So what?!?  Except for their eyes and bases I (almost!) finished them tonight!

And that's what counts!

The Sides are Drawn & More Trash Talk

This was found in the Letters to the Editor pages of Ye Olde Weird Herald today.

Greetings to All Good Folk of the Wold ~

A detachment of the Iron Hooves answers the call of their AElvish Allies! We shall arrive shortly.

All Humans and Other Good Folk of the Light are reminded that the AElves of the Citadel of the Evening Star have long nurtured and warded them from all manner of ill. Now that their border is being encroached upon by ill-mannered nasty land-grubbing tree-cutting treasure-seeking uncouth and just plain stupid men it is time for all of us all to send them aid! So that all may know . . .

The Centaurs are coming! The Centaurs are coming!!!

As soon as Tim the Younger heard that I had Centaurs ready he just had to be on my side (also known as the Good Guys)!!!

He also sent us yet more proof of Tim the Elder's consistent, er, "luck" at rolling ones from their last game a couple of months ago . . .

All rolled at once ?!!

TtE YAHTZEE ??? !!! ???

Another Game Day Coming Up!

We've got another Game Day coming up pretty soon!  Neither of the Tims have played Song of Blades and Heroes ~ yet.  It looks like (appropriately enough) PJ and I will be on opposite sides.

Years ago Tim the Elder ran a really great long running play by mail Kingmaker campaign.  His periodic newletter was called Ye Olde Weird Herald.  It was so hilarious I still have every issue he put out.

This morning I just had to e-mail the guys:

Found in the Help Wanted ads in the current issue of Ye Olde Weird Herald:


Wanted: Brave Allies to share the Field of Glory and Fame with a Renowned Warband of AElves!  Humans, Dwarves and most others welcome. Orcs and Goblins need not apply.  Contact AEthelaxe for details.


Not long after we all recieved Poppa John's note:

Full page ad found in Ye Olde Weird Herald......somewhere between the Chariot Race results and the classifieds.


HERE YE! HERE YE! HERE YE!

ELF HUNT! KICK-OFF LESS THAN A FORTNIGHT AWAY!

Cum one, Cum all (well, not elves of course)! The KING has decreed that the time has cum to clear his royal forests, hills, dales, draws, fields, ale houses and out houses from the persistent and pernicious elvish infestation that has plagued the kingdom for so many years. Some elf named Exlax or something has been poaching the King's elk, and that was the straw that broke the regal back (so to speak).

So bring all manner of pointy things, snarly things, gigantic flying things, or things that go BOOM to the Castle on the morn of September 12th, and jolly good fun will be had by all (except the elves, of course, who shall all DIE). Elf hunting licenses will be provided, and the loyal subject with the most pointy ears at the end of the day gets a Groat and a free magic scroll to take home to the missus.

SO CUM ON DOWN!
