steveb – The Drum was burnt down a number of times so I think it has an interchangeable name either Broken or Mended – mine has Broken on the unseen side of the sign.
When I started to read Oxycutor’s blog the first sentence gave the reaction ‘OMG- soth’s stitched me up good and proper this time’ which lasted until page 4 when my saviours the Watchmen appeared. A number of ideas had been formulated by the time I’d reached the blog’s end and after doing some research on the Guards of the Bloody Tower the first picture shows the base figure and the sort of parts I’d planned to make use of.
Picture two is getting the stance right.
Picture three the detail is added.
I knew I’d need to do a single base and intended to use the raven and barrel but Dik needed more on his base as it looked a little empty. Trolls are thick and having a bunch of keys chained to a belt gives opportunities to forget to take the key out of the lock – which gives first chain or old masonry – eventually both.
Dik settling to his new home
Lieutenant Dik Chumley, Devourer of Bovine, Keeper of Keys and Ravenmaster.
A laughing troll but yesterday,
a merry rock blithe and gay,
whose joyous shout came ringing
out unchecked by care or sorrow.
Today a watchman all sandbrown
whose deeds of soldierly renown
are all the boast of Altdorf Town.
A veteran tomorrow - today a Watchman!!!
