From MartinC - Tales of Arabian Nights (15 Points)

Just a little post today, busy week so only the Comedy challenge and this figure done. For all of my life I've wanted a flying carpet, ever since I saw the Thief of Bagdhad as a kid. I finally bought this over Christmas from Black Tree as my entry for the myth bonus round but it took forever to get here.



The problem with flying units is the stand and this one was black. So I hid it under a cloud of packing material which works well. The carpet pattern came with the figure so I followed it but would have preferred a blank canvas. Think I may buy some Sinbad figs and make some carpets then fight Aerial Combats.









So now for the big question. How many points? Its a 28mm figure but is the carpet a vehicle or a base or furniture?

Also last week I submitted a dwarf berserktrix and Tamsin and Curt requested tattoos and stripes. No stripes, think her strides look cool but did a bit of tattooing including the Anarchy symbol Tamsin suggested. Also tweaked the eyes as she looked a little boss-eyed - often a good look for berserkers but not for her I think.



From Curt:

A wonderful entry Martin! The flying carpet borne archer is brilliant - The cloud 'stand' is great and I really like the pattern you did for the carpet. And speaking of patterns, the updated mods on your dwarf Beserktrix are excellent. She definitely looks ready to settle some grudges.

Well done!
