Several friends and I role-play HP Lovecraft Call of Cthulhu. It is an excellent game system from Chaosium, and we use rafm miniatures made especially for the game.

Their quality is nothing like Mithrils produced by Chris, but they serve the purpose.

After reading the HPL books, I later always wanted to play CoC – at least it still sits on my book shelf. Perhaps better I never played it, is insanity contagious? From player character to player …

[Sorry, could not resist …]

I have heard its cousin Runequest would be a nice option for ME gaming. I think I also own one or two of the miniatures, hidden somewhere in my treasure chests …

That looks a little like Mrs B first thing in the morning.

Huoommm … Master Erchamion, as far as I can remember the list of the unreleased GF-figures reads:
– Bert the troll
– Bard & thrush
– Celebrian
– Witch-king at Pelennor
– Durin VI
– Black Numenorian Capt. of M. Morgul
– Half-orc standard-bearer
– Female assasin of Dol Amroth
– at the moment there’s a race between Bombur and some others …

That’s all I know of … rhuoommm … in case my memory is failing and meets our barkeep’s I can ask Master Axel about this, because he always keeps records about this matter … rhuoomm

Huoommmm … that’s what I recall … huom … if my memory serves me well …

I think the standard bearer was a Half-Troll Angmar and the Female Assassin of Dol Amroth won the vote to Half-Orc Warband Leader. And where the mistake it is in the list of Mithril ….. unless Master Barliman gave me a drink too strong for me …..

Yes, Master Ent, I did see the new sword design. If you have a look at a M5 you will find a very close design. The M9 is similar also. M35 officer is holding one…. Therefor not really that new, but I like it anyway.
Whoever complained about the way of casting … having all those additional parts to the figures has never converted a mini by the looks of it. I also, like Master Theobald, can only see the endless possibilities of figures casted like this. The more parts the better!

Hey Protozeus, yes insanity is contagious!!! Of course, while playing CoC we keep a close eye on our “friends” and shoot anyone who looks the least bit “crazy.”

Hey, it was not our intention to scare the customers away (hehe). Or is everyone drunk and asleep?

I think everyone is readying themselves for the heavy drinking session that will be required to celebrate Bombur’s victory in the GF poll! – at least, I hope it will be to celebrate victory, and not to drown their sorrows at his defeat…

Oh yes, it is so hot out there, that even I need a cold ale!!

And I have seen many nice things last days. So it seems, that there are a lot of devotees of Saruman out there, gathering their forces. No one knows, if this is for pleasure of the Dark Lord or if this arouses his anger……

Heh, I watched the Rankin-Bass Hobbit movie last night – with John Huston as Gandalf. Twas great fun, and Bombur was pretty durn fat. No Beorn, alas. And the wood elves looked very leprechaun-ish.

Rather liked Laketown and the men of Laketown’s look. I might use the brownish colour scheme for any such project involving them.

Well, I’m delighted to see that the Fat Dwarf has won the GF poll – and as I point out on the GF page, Master Tree, he is described as fat at his every earliest appearance in “The Hobbit” – indeed, as “immensely fat”!

I shall be interested to see how The Man interprets him – I certainly hope he’ll be made to look far more clinically obese than Chris’s rather slim Forlong…

He seems to Volstagg, the Thor´s friend? 😆

Yes, those are the sort of proportions that a Bombur figure should demonstrate! I used to love reading the Thor comics when I was a lad. Do they still publish them? I haven’t seen one for a while. Indeed, Thor must be just about the only comicbook super-hero that the movie industry hasn’t pillaged (yet…) for the big screen.

Hmmm, that should be very interesting. Brian Blessed will certainly make a great Odin, but I don’t recognise the Thor actor’s name (I’m not very “up” on modern actors).

And Kenneth Brannagh directing…and likely featuring a cameo by Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Junior.

I also loved the old Thor comic, especially as imagined by Walt Simonson during the 1980s. Warren Ellis’s 4 issue run about 8 years ago was also brilliant.

I have too leeve …
