I removed the axe at her belt, and replaced the flag and flagpole. The design on the Flag is apparently called the unity flower, so works well for a leader of different tribes of elves.
The trumpeter is from the Zvezda Russian knights which, IMHO, is a bloody awefull set of bods, the trumpeter being the only pose having any use.
The elf wing of the "light alliance" army so far.
I might add the RedBox elves but only the archers as the bods don´t look that good in any of the pics I´ve seen
Also a front line of fighters Needs adding...dwarves are the most popular choice at the Moment.
And..another Addition to the household. This one has been hiding in the Woods for the last couple of weeks, daring to get closer and closer to the house, tempted by bits of Food left out and until cold and possible Exhaustion, made being indoors more acceptable. Yesterday, she allowed herself to be brought inside.
Exhausted, Deaf , old and thin, she (it´s a female) was, after a nights rest and tick removal, taken to the vets where we we´re given two choices:
1. She would be transfered to the local home for strays, all vet bills covered.
2. We take her on and also the resulting bills.
Considering her Age and fraility, who would want to take her from the strays home..the Little of what future she had left looked bleak....so only one choice was available.
She has a new home with us :-)
She´s An estimated Age of around 15 (75 in human years), virtually no teeth and dehydrated, definately deaf...oh and she´s a British short hair..ironic really.
After blood tests (the poor Thing had virtually nothing left to give ) it turns out she´s perfectly Sound internally, so a vitimin B shot, a spell on a drip to get her fluids up, Special Food, 4 hours of watching "Vets TV" (I didn´t realise there was such a Thing) and a decent sized vets bill, she´s now back home, eating and cleaning herself and is looking a lot more happy.
Oh...and she´s called Smokey.
Lovely figures, and a gorgeous little cat, I came home with a stray four years ago and she's still here, unfortunately she was also pregnant and her five kittens (now also four) are still here too, at least you should be safe on that score! Ours is a little black furball we call Suki. All the best to the pair of you.
ReplyDeleteCheers Roger.
Thanks Rodger :-D Nice one for housing Suki and keeping her brood. I don´t think Smokey will be around for a Long Long time but whatever time she has left it will be a good as we can give her.
DeleteThat's all you can do, besides all the best wargamers have cats!
DeleteCheers Roger.
Good on you Paul for rescuing and looking after Smokey so well. She's beautiful and I'm sure will repay your kindness in spades!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking figures and well done on saving the moggy!
ReplyDeleteI like your elves. I'm doing forces for Middle Earth right now too! Your banners are giving me ideas!
ReplyDeleteWell done on Smokey too.
you are the best kind of people...
ReplyDeleteMore wonderful additions Paul and such a lovely story about the cat.
ReplyDeleteYou're a thoroughly decent human being old boy, here's to Smokey!
ReplyDeleteThe Elves are looking sharp, but the awesomeness of this post is Smokey finding a home. Warms my heart.
ReplyDeleteI recognize some of those Elves. The best of Caesar's fantasy line IMHO. That and the "Fellowship" box set. Nice brushwork. Is there a particular game you will be playing?
ReplyDeleteVery good of you to take the cat in. Even if it is a short time left on earth, she is lucky to spend the rest of her years in a loving home.
Thanks John. I´m not too sure about which rules yet..first I Need to get the rest of the Orcs (the infantry and warg riders) based, paint a few more and re-base the Caeser Dwarves, add a few Alliance dwarves, the new caeser Orcs, alliance Trolls and Cimmerians...and then to boost up the "goodguys" side, add some alliance elves and Amazons (modern and classic)...and work out what to do with the alliance undead / rogue Knights?...and there´s also the Caeser Zombies..some of which would fit well into a Fantasy Scenario (Ala the Stories from the Slaine series.)
ReplyDeleteAs a cat rescuer (we have two sisters dumped outside a vets as week old kittens) I salute you! the elves are pretty cool too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt and well done for rescuing the kittens. I Salute you back :-D
DeleteSmokey is doing fine now..actually filling out she wails for Food now..at the start she had to be Hand fed.
Those bloody Brit's they'll invade a hole in a fence if they think there's room for the monarch's flag-pole! Nice rescue...#catsontheinternet!

They look quite magical to a Fiddle Wood Gnome like me.BB
