From PeterD The Pit and the Pendulum (the Horror!) (25) points

 



The blurb for the Pit and the Pendulum says "Something Terrifying" and in my own world I am constantly beset by vicious attack furniture.  As I quietly go about (ok noisily go about as I seem incapable of doing anything quietly) my daily business I run in constant danger of being impaled or bludgeon by seemingly innocent tables, chairs, door knobs, walls, bookcases, cabinets...the list of horrors goes on for ever.  You are not paranoid if the furniture is really out to get me...I swear it's got nothing to do with my own gross motor skills or level of distraction.




I am pretty sure that this is a Reaper Bones Mimic in 28mm.  It has a distinct Harry Potter or Muppet feel and was a lot of fun to paint.  It's also the first time I've ever painted a tongue on a mini.  Assuming that this meets the Terrifying criteria enough this nets me another 5 points for the mini and 20 for the Chamber.


*knock, knock*

"Ahhh, come in Victim #7, errmm, Peter."

Oh, yes, the mimic. I definitely think that counts as terrifying.

25 points it is.

  2. Thanks Tamsin. I was hoping to count this against the Pit and the Pendulum room as I all ready have a trap submission, based on the level of terror furniture gives me.

    1. Here’s Codsticker. I’ve also been banned from the house when my wife makes cabbage rolls due to my knife skills and the resulting self inflicted injuries.

    2. I remember that. You almost lost a finger!

      Great work on the Mimic, Peter! I may have to borrow that from you sometime for a game idea I have...

    3. Almost lost a finger is slight exaggeration, but yeah. The mimic is on call if I can find him when he need him.

  6. I have a similar furniture related problem, but for me they always seem to target my toes. I'll just be walking along when a seemingly inanimate object lunges forward and stubs itself on my toe!
    Nice mimic.
