I could have been rich by now!

auction

Found at Frothers UK.

So that's what they call artistic creativity! Brilliant…

Grinning Norm01 May 2006 3:58 a.m. PST

I think it's very cool.

Would have been a very good entry for the DIY wargame contest of a short while ago here.

Andrew May101 May 2006 3:59 a.m. PST

Ok…

Lucius01 May 2006 4:19 a.m. PST

Pro-painted.

brave face01 May 2006 4:21 a.m. PST

Seems to be short one of the ten listed bases…What scale are these anyway?

Cheers, David

They're listed under 25mm, I noticed. And yes, I can't seem to find the lurker either.

Personal logo Doms Decals Sponsoring Member of TMP01 May 2006 4:48 a.m. PST

Presumably it's Lurking…?

mweaver01 May 2006 4:48 a.m. PST

Like the magic user.

Personal logo Doms Decals Sponsoring Member of TMP01 May 2006 4:55 a.m. PST

No, the magic user's clearly the one at the front right with a pointy hat…. :-p

Ron W DuBray01 May 2006 5:16 a.m. PST

sounds like a very heavy armoured army, but I feel that their movement might be a bit on the slow side :)

James Manto01 May 2006 5:25 a.m. PST

I hope it's based for DBA….

I'd hate to have to rebase it.

Paul Y01 May 2006 5:34 a.m. PST

Perfect for these rules here! link

Turbo Pig Fezian01 May 2006 5:48 a.m. PST

Love the creativity and gumption:-)

Gonna swerve the topic a bit. Since it is about strange things on eBay, though it'll fit in. Saw an auction for some Ral Partha figures, listed at $6.99. Pull up autction to look at the pictures. The minis were still on the card, and affixed right in the upper right hand corner of the card was a price tag fot $6.25. There were no bids on it…

nycjadie01 May 2006 5:54 a.m. PST

The wizard's hat's a nice touch.

Iron General01 May 2006 5:57 a.m. PST

why does the theme song from Disney's "Bedknob & Broomsticks" keep going through my head?

79thPA Supporting Member of TMP01 May 2006 6:47 a.m. PST

Yes, it is a rock army (I know a guy who made one in 15mm)It is for HOTT, which uses DBx stands, so you don't have to rebase!

The Gonk01 May 2006 7:02 a.m. PST

That ROCKS!!

I couldn't find the lurker, either.

I did like the artillery, though! It's a see-saw, with little rocks lined up on the throwing end and a big rock on the weight end!

Sterling Moose01 May 2006 7:18 a.m. PST

There could be a copyright issue here! About 15 years ago a fellow gamer made a similar army using the styrene pebbles, the ones that are put around the plants in McDonalds.

Steve Hazuka01 May 2006 7:20 a.m. PST

Are they effected by rough terrain? What about water crossing?

Doc Perverticus01 May 2006 7:37 a.m. PST

Ahh- the pet rocks of the 80's got tired of all the oppression and formed a militant splinter group- I read about this 2 weeks ago in the New York Times…..

David Moody01 May 2006 7:40 a.m. PST

I imagine rough terrain has no penalties as a native environment, and we all know that rocks just skip across water… assuming they have at least 2" of movement before contacting the water.

Sterling Moose01 May 2006 8:03 a.m. PST

Would a paper army beat them? Perhaps they could have a mercenary contingent from the scissors faction.

GarnhamGhast01 May 2006 8:16 a.m. PST

The lurkers are the base behind the wizard aren't they?

Grinning Norm01 May 2006 8:17 a.m. PST

Or a paper airforce or some origami samurai when fighting another rock force.

iouliared01 May 2006 8:35 a.m. PST

Reminds me of the show "Family Guy" when Peter's pet rock is not house broken….

IGWARG1 Supporting Member of TMP Fezian01 May 2006 8:55 a.m. PST

His warbands are wrongly based. They are based as fast warbands (3 rocks per base), but should be based as superior warbands (4 rocks per base).

Love it!

Personal logo John the OFM Supporting Member of TMP01 May 2006 10:04 a.m. PST

Beware of recasters!

Too bad they are Mountain Rocks. I was looking for Seashore Rocks.

Buff Orpington01 May 2006 10:10 a.m. PST

At last, an army I can rip off without someone whining about IP rights

Personal logo Doms Decals Sponsoring Member of TMP01 May 2006 10:12 a.m. PST

They're called pebbles, John…. :-p

Austin Rob01 May 2006 11:13 a.m. PST

Of course you can't find the lurkers. They wouldn't be very GOOD lurkers if you could see them in a grainy digital pic!

Matakishi01 May 2006 11:44 a.m. PST

All mine.

Alxbates01 May 2006 12:50 p.m. PST

Hee hee… that's the cutest thing I've seen in a while.

'grats, Matakishi.

Mocaiv01 May 2006 1:13 p.m. PST

I cannot believe one of our own bought this!

So, when can I get a game against them?

High toughness, large number of wounds, low speed and agility…just how do they attack?

Matakishi01 May 2006 2:21 p.m. PST

I thought they were a nicely realised, original idea. I could have copied the idea but that's like stealing so I paid for them.
They cost less than 4 fantasy figures so I think I got a bargain.
I need to make or find a suitable opposing army and then I'll post a battle report :)

Lowtardog01 May 2006 2:44 p.m. PST

I think Matakishi now you have Stones you need an army of scissors and one of Paper :0)

Mocaiv01 May 2006 2:45 p.m. PST

[quote]I need to make or find a suitable opposing army and then I'll post a battle report[/quote]

I could put together and army of twigs in a few seconds…it might actually be fun!

So lets see, you are in Woking, I'm near Luton…hmmmmmmm

Matakishi01 May 2006 3:51 p.m. PST

Mocaiv you're on!

TMP 'Nature fights back' championship is underway, the gauntlet is down, the challenge is accepted etc.

Contact me at matakishi@btinternet.com and we can set a time and place :)

Matakishi02 May 2006 12:45 p.m. PST

hehe Game on!

Mocaiv02 May 2006 1:59 p.m. PST

oh my…what have I agreed to?

Matakishi02 May 2006 2:36 p.m. PST

Pffst! We'll have fun :)
