I love pound shops. Never seen Ravenor at any of them though, a shame since I have the second book but not the first.

I spent £10 (+£3 delivery) on ten books last week, a pretty good deal. I would have bought more, but sadly many BL books aren\'t worth £1.

The internet is the only thing keeping me in the hobby during my long periods of inactivity.

True

I hate myself more than ever (by which I mean you).

FORCED to kill. Yeah, they were in fear for their lives. Them or it...not.

Morrissey! Though I\'m not entirely sure what the definition of a sell out is.

They have painted over one of his works, apparently a famous one (although I\'ve never seen it, I don\'t think it was one of his best).

Tehy remind me of a story I read when I was about 12 that scared the $h!t out of me, good stuff.

pm\'d.

The bit with the wolf was my favourite part. Possibly because it was at the beginning, when I still expected a decent movie.

I gues I missed that warrior priest, nice work.

I\'m in the minority in thinking that it was a steaming turd of a movie. Total rubbish, especially the dialogue.

The last part of your post sounds intriguing, I\'ll check the library for it today.

Yes, I agree with this completely. I have actually stopped varnishing minis altogether, since I can\'t be arsed to find some dullcote atm. I was initially a bit worried until I read that Ritual also...

Yeah, one of CMON\'s best artists has done it again with this one, I voted 10. Although the painting on this is not as good as previous examples, the sculpt is great.

The pic sucks pretty bad, but the mini looks very nice, mid 7 at the very least. I will vote when the pic is changed.

I would have to say my favourite is Konrad Kurze (Col. Kurtz) being killed by the Assassin M\'Shen (Martin Sheen).

The first gif(?) I eevr saw was this one, http://www.coolminiornot.com/index/whatc/Historical/id/150916 , hopefully it will become more frequent.

I learned to ski at blackcomb. ****ing great place, Vancouver.

I try to be clean and prescise.

Very nice! But you should really take better pics, if they are all painted well (can\'t really tell). You should also sell them more - \"Painted by GD winner\" etc etc.

That\'s great, I think you are the most improved painter here in the last year.

Yeah those old orks are great. I think Bad Moon 2 was the first ork I bought.

Why would you want to create him? He\'s the most wooden actor I\'ve ever seen, he\'s only in the show because he\'s Noel\'s brother. Make Howard Moon instead. Check Howard Moon\'s cmon gallery too :)

ok the sculpt is not perfect (you can\'t see the legs on these pics, which are far worse than the face imo), but it definately grows on you.

Mmmm too difficult. I can\'t remember ever seeing that one.

Hah, that sounds about right. To be honest though (and I haven\'t read the other posts sorry, I am writing this drunk and on the hoof), blokes probably do the same thing. Only they don\'t spend it on...
