I dub thee "Sir Robin" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8IkbCeZ9to

[Midaski]

No Padre, he who runs away, lives to fight another day, and it's not running. It's called a strategic withdraw to rally the troops for the next engagement.

Looks to me like he has captured the 'one' true artefact and is making sure it is carried to safety ......................   

[CarolineWellwater]

(( Maybe he's just advancing towards future victory? ))

[scrubber]

More like Boldly advancing upon the rear. Moving on he is now painted, but I need to get the plastic Generals horse for a suitable mount.

Think Fidelis is also spying upon my paint table, with your link to Bold Sir Robin.


I did not know until last month that GW had made some Robin Hood figures. So bought the set of 3 last month, just started on Tuck.
Picture shows my first two Robin's. One on left with chicken pot on head. Why because his hat reminds me of an old pottery chicken my mum's Aunt used to have for her eggs. 2nd is Robin with Horn, that pose reminder me of the old black and whites with Richard Greene. Something was wrong with the Tuck figure, then it came to me today. Tuck never had a bow in the old black and white or Errol Flynn days.

[Oxycutor]

Bertrand Le Brigand from the Bretonnia range

[Xathrodox86]

Oh man, a set of true classics. Shame that they've got rid of Bertram in latter editions.

[GamesPoet]

If they kept him, we might done him with a new figure, too.

[scrubber]

What happened to them, or did GW just stopped adding the to Codex.
175 points as rare unit consist of Robin [Bertrand], Little John [Hugo] and Tuck [Gui], Musician [Allen a Dale], Standard and 5 Bowmen. Can add additional bowmen for 7 points each.
Standard, thinking of Herne the Hunter possible use Albion Druid and add antlers. Another possible is Damsel as Lady Marion.

[Sharkbelly]

Cool idea! Yeah, GW quit adding them to the army book in 6th edition. They even had their own formation, the arrow. It was like the triangular lance formation.

[Xathrodox86]

Bertram and his men were really good shots! I think that in latter editions (well, edition), he wasn't grim enough to warrant a place in the army book. Shame really.

I've salvaged some 75mm Polystyrene insulation board from a skip on the next road. Going to make edge of board mountain range.
What's the best glue to use to stick them together? Also can you still buy plaster bandage, that was used for casts on broken limbs ?

[scrubber]

On Warhammer community, they are showing the AOS free-guild starter sets, so it looks like the following troop will be available for us still in the Old World.
Plastic General set. State troops and State crossbows along with Demigryph Knights.

I used the white wood glue/pvc and that worked just fine. I made this hunk if meaningless terrain and carved it with a heat wire gun thing that's been kicking around for years.

[Midaski]

 Also can you still buy plaster bandage, that was used for casts on broken limbs ?

I guess you are talking about a simple 'crepe bandage' - sold in rolls of various sizes in any chemist.
Same as with a plaster cast for broken limb, you would cut it into strips and then soak it in your plaster mix, and drape it over the area you wish to cover.

[scrubber]

Not in chemist around here, but found it in Hobby Craft. Mod-rock, that was the name I was looking to remember. Going to get messy tomorrow go job mum's house has not been sold yet. Big empty room, plastic sheet on floor and time to play.

[scrubber]

Shameless plug for old Ian Weekley castle models which I've just stuck on ebay.

[Rowsdower]

Its not the end of the worlde, fellow Bret players
I'm sure you can convert current models to resemble these miniatures. A fat frair comes with the Bretonian men at arms and bowmen kit. There's a proxy Gui   

[scrubber]

Yes finishing the Hood game is on the list of things to complete in 2018. Will also replace photo with one that's not so blurred.

One of my Christmas presents was an old metal Steam Tank off e-bay, but it has the top part of the chimney stack missing. Does anyone have a spare one they would be will to sell me. Will even make do with plastic one.

[Midaski]

Which 'old' metal Steam Tank.

The second metal one, I think, had a choice of two as part of the kit.
The much older small one with the dragon muzzle had the chimney built in to the boiler. 



I'll have a look at my bits and see if have either of the newer one tops.

[Warlord]

Scrubber, I think I owe you something for a previous trade. I have a metal chimney I believe so I will find it and pop it in the mail the next few weeks.

[scrubber]

Thanks guy's.
However whilst contemplating in the smallest room in the house, it occurred to me that this steam tank is to replace the one I'm keeping and going into son's Middenheim army. So snatched goblin rider from my Orc army, beheaded the wolf and we have one cap for a Ultric steam tank.

[scrubber]

This has nothing to do with Warhammer.
I am looking for attractive/sexy nurse. [leaves self wide open for comment.]

My wheelchair bound evil mad scientist needs some-one to wheel him around and brush his kitty Kat.
Thought Reaper may have figure like that, but can't find one. Any suggestion, figure can't be to over-the-top as will be seen by children.

[Zygmund]

Reaper's modern line would be Chronoscope, and they nearly always come with a weapon - at least in holster.

I know a couple that came with boardgames with miniatures. Arkham Horror and some other. Wonder if you can buy the minis separately. Might try eBay.
