Ah, yes, two nice-looking figures – thanks for pointing them out. So where’s our newsletter from Michael? I only noticed by chance that Round 2 of the voting had started!

Indeed, congrats to all concerned – I’m sure that even the losers paint better than I do.

And now that we’ve finally had a newsletter, it’s also encouraging to see that the M range has at last been allocated a release date (well, a month anyway). Let’s hope that they really do get released in May! That way, it’ll only have taken the factory 6 months to get round to releasing them…

Congrats also from myself, mistress Wendy!

I think Lars and Chris had a tough job. As I am not a photographer, I did not think I would win the first prize nor the second.

So again CONGRATS!!

Wha? I won? Hehe, I had no idea till I read it here. Thanks gents and congratulations to the other winners! In this case there are no losers, quite literally. Hmm, I think I have something in mind for the prize, but I doubt I’ll receive it any sooner than anyone else…

Regarding the new GF releases, I really like Boromir. It’s a classic pose and moment in the book.

I’m kinda bummed that I never got to enter.

Hell, I spent time in the small ugly bathroom (it’s sort of like a broom closet with running water) scrubbing the damn second undercoat attempt off my two knights. That was an attempt undone by constant ill-luck.

I am also hoping to have my various Rohan fyrdmen painted by the time the Helm’s Deep set comes out. This all seems terribly distant and overwhelming. Oh well, hopefully I’ll have more time after this week is over. Maybe. But if there is a Helm’s Deep painting competition, I will enter, damnit.

Congrats mistress Wendy!

You did a great job like always. You might be slow (certainly faster then I’m), but the result is worth waiting for!

As long as it is a love-fest, I’ll add my congrats to you also Wendy, and to all three of you who took the time to paint and enter these fine figures. But Wendy, as I know of your skill personally, I am not surprised you won.

Likewise Wendy, a little gem and a most deserving winner, I was impressed especially with the shields when I first saw the entry, but have just noticed the very intricate painting of the saddle cloths as well.

Congratulations too Estel, but I think the ‘Gal’ had us both beat, lol.

Reading the comments on the TMP page is also interesting, in terms of how much almost everyone (barring a single clearly insane moron) prefers the Mithril DA dudes to the GW travesties – as well they should!

Master Barliman, I need a very strong drink. I have just read what was written concerning “The Hunter” by the glorious Master Gavin.
I must say: I am breathless. My eyes are wide open and also my mouth. And for that reason my mouth become dry, through the time I was reading the fate of:
THE HUNTER ! Wow.

Why thank you…

As I said I might, I went and seriously rejigged the story of poor old Dwar of Waw (which sounds like a hair metal band). In the original, Dwar of Waw is a young child belonging to the peaceable Wolim tribe of the land of Waw and… yeah, you can stop hitting me now. I didn’t write the original. :p

When I’ve done all nine of the Nazgul, I’m going to go back and tighten up the prose more. I loved writing the Khamul entry, and the Hunter entry; it shows.

Of course any of my various and benighted editors would have broken my legs for various pieces of prose miscreance while writing it, but hey, I had fun.

A nice addition master Gavin but maybe it would be wise (later) to also write the “canonic” MERP background too for those (for the curious ones)

Since those names are copyrighted I suppose their background is too?

But for the moment well done You even managed to… well… tolerate this “unforgivable” mistake of Mithril and Chris naming Dwar… Dwaw
