Re: A head fit for a Queen.

You could also do it yourself with greenstuff :) Sure. But if I could do that why would I buy the model in the first place? Well, we are only talking about the head here. If you look at my avatar picture, it is mostly the Dragon Prince Kit and a custom made head. Hairs was the easier part to do, I ...

Re: How 9th edition could be Awesome!

At this point, I am more interested in the fluff behind a 9th edition. So far my interest is fading out with all these ET books. I mean, I try to stay on board but like a lot of people, it`s taking a toll on my hobby. At least I was right with Tyrion getting resurected :P However, I feel all theses ...

Ulthuan is gone. Teclis is in my eyes the main reason for it. Tyrion is insane and there is no way in hell I would bow down to Malekith. Alarielle is too weak, letting Tyrion and her daughter die like this only to marry Malekith, that is no leader. There is nothing left to defend, the elven kingdoms...

Whatever the competition pack, it takes a good general to study the battlefield, conditions of engagement and more importantly: make use of it.
