Two strapping janissaries crest the summit, huffing and puffing, with what looks to be a huge soup tureen strung on pole between them. The lid on the soup pot opens and Noel emerges, striking a pose much like Heinz Guderian surveying Poland from a panzer.

| This week's Snow Lord's Peak brought to you from Mount Columbia, Alberta. |
Noel rubs his head, not wanting to meet the Snow Lord's eyes, 'Right, well, knowing that there was treasure that would need to be split up I decided to, ahem, reduce my footprint a little. You know, it's absolutely astonishing how treacherous the cliff sides can be coming up here...'
The Snow Lord arches his eyebrow and smiles knowingly.
Noel clambers out of his pot, flourishes a bow to his janissaries and looks around. 'Hmm. I thought it would be, well, more peak-like up here. It's sort of flat.'
The blue creature nods and grimaces a bit. 'Martin was just up here and wanted to take a few rock samples. I think he went a little overboard.' He gazes at the surroundings which are flat as a billiard table. 'Lady Sarah's going to have a few choice words when she get's back. Maybe I can get some of the local stone trolls to help me out...'
He shrugs and turns back to Noel. 'Anyway, you spoke of treasure, so I assume you need me to help you out with that?'
Noel nods, 'If you could that it would be brilliant. I have to get back so I can paint another zillion figures tonight in order to make everyone feel like a bunch of pathetic underperformers.'
Stupefied at the unattainable task at hand, Noel girds his loins to face his fate...

I look forward to seeing what your labours produce, Noel!

ReplyDeleteOnly one? Really? Does not compute.
ReplyDeleteHow about ONE army? No?
What about, er, ONE battalion? No?
Well, ONE legion, then? One horde, mob, congregation, illegal assembly, force, flock, family, faction, foursome?
No? Come on...
[PUTS AWAY SPRAY PAINT, CONTRAST PAINT, WASHES, DRY BRUSH.]
OK - one model. Just one model. Any scale.
How about Heidi Klum? Life size?
Now, THAT would be a great interpretation of the theme. :)
DeleteOh, that really is a fiendish punishment, errrm, I mean task you have set Noel.
ReplyDeleteExcellent task Snowlord. What sort of bribe did Martin give you to hobble Noel?
ReplyDeletePaint one model in a week? At your usual rate you'll only have 6 days, 23 hours and 55 minutes of leeway to get it done.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!
Poor Noel!
ReplyDeleteEvil, really evil. Think noel may explode
ReplyDeleteThat's a hilarious task Noel - not sure what you'll do with the other 6.99 days. Or maybe it's going to be a really, really big figure that happens to be carrying lots of little ones? Good luck.
ReplyDeleteNow, that's a brilliant idea! I wish I'd thought of it.
DeleteOooh Curt that is cruel, you've hobbled the poor chap ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Great fun. Welcome to my corner of the hobby, Noel! :-)
