Inquiring minds want to know.

Dan Cyr24 Aug 2009 8:13 a.m. PST

No, as it is too hard to find needles that small to stick into my figures.

I should think the health risks would be enough to put anyone off doing so!

Yes but only for Medieval jousting games.

Never tried, but there's gotta be a use for them somehow…

I think you need to work on your liver and gall bladder meridians, Allen. Possibly large intestine as well.

Wow Allen
Who used accupuncture needles as a weapon?
How?
Does anyone make the figures? Which army lists are they in?

It's my spleen meridian that feels blocked today, streetline.

"Who used accupuncture needles as a weapon?"

Haku, in "Naruto". It shames me that I know this.

I think Allen is trying to fill in for OFM while he's out.

freerangeegg24 Aug 2009 8:52 a.m. PST

Yeah I reckon he's going for those extra 2000 posts while the OFM's in the pokey

aecurtis Fezian24 Aug 2009 8:53 a.m. PST

It's my one chance to catch up from a huge deficit.

You seem to be venting nicely from here… :-)

I saw them used as antennas (antennae?) on vehicles at some 40K forum or the other. I thought it was a neat idea and did some research on them but apparently, they're a restricted purchase item in the US.

I find my opponent won't keep still long enough for me to gain any significant advantage.

Dave Crowell24 Aug 2009 10:16 a.m. PST

I suppose I could ask my local accupuncturist for some.

But I prefer cat wiskers for antanae. Sharp objects and gaming just don't mix.

GarnhamGhast24 Aug 2009 10:17 a.m. PST

Hmmm well I may be tempted if it can cure my players attention deficit disorder for a couple of hours.

Allen, please don't feel obligated on anyone's account.

aecurtis Fezian24 Aug 2009 11:38 a.m. PST

I only feel obligated on my account.

I gave up on acupuncture needles years ago when I found that ground up rhino horn was an excellent form of basing material. Similarly I have discovered that dried and granulated Sumatran tiger testes, popular in Chinese medicine are an ideal medium for keeping my paint flowing.

These days I've moved more towards crystals as hit markers and of course I only paint with essential oils based paint.

I swear by Homeopathic paints.

A 30X dilution of Vallejo Brown Violet is perfect for WWII British tanks.

?

Jovian124 Aug 2009 3:50 p.m. PST

Is there another race for the OFM's coveted spot on top of the lists?

Bayonet24 Aug 2009 5:59 p.m. PST

What's going on?

Goldwyrm25 Aug 2009 12:07 p.m. PST

I expected this to be a pointed discussion on needling others.

However, my suggestion would be acupuncture needles as pikes for 15mm Carthaginians. The suction cups may double as glasteel huts in a Sci-fi adaptation. YMMVC.
