Now my Inquisitor is done, and all the guys based:



Top row, left to right:
Arco-Flagellant (for mindless close combat, just release his inhibitors and trigger the aggrostim)
Acolyte (the Inquisitor's apprentice)
Inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus (Witch Hunters)
Chirurgeon (an excellent physician, he can keep you alive much longer than you thought possible)
Scribe (thoughtfully enhanced on the Inquisitor's orders so the scribe doesn't have to waste time on mundane matters like bathroom breaks or conventional meals)

Bottom row, left to right:
Death Cult Assassin (for subtle application of violence)
Preacher ("Imperial Dogma is my passion")
Veteran Imperial Guard Sergeant (conventional combat)
Crusader (defending the Inquisitor)
Pyro-Assistant (excels at a single but vital function of the Inquisition)

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

So I had a date over and she saw my Wars of the Roses army which I keep on a shelf. Her comment: "I'm fairly easily impressed, and right now I'm not impressed."  :lol: :lol: :cry: :lol:

Wow. Did you thank her for her time and show her the door? That's a pretty shitty thing to say.

At which point she showed you photos of her miniature 5th Century Greek Hoplites that were much more immaculately painted?

Just as well.  Playing a 5th Century Greek Hoplite army against a Wars of the Roses army would have ruined the date.

Did the rest of the date go well? And are you seeing her again?

I saw her a few times. But we both reached the conclusion that, even if we shared some important... tastes... we really had little in common otherwise, and parted ways amicably.

To next time :cheers:

In the meantime, you can paint more minis.

:lol: That's why I don't paint facial features on 28mm figures. Unless it is an actual deranged prostitute mini.

Is that a typical mini in your collection?   :unsure:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
