Bruce R "Pit of the Fanatic"!!
As our band of adventurers delves further into the Chambers our rough map makes reference to a Pendulum Pit. After losing one member to spider venom (see previous Trap chamber) the members are on their toes for this Pendulum menace. The group hears maniacal cackling around the next corner. As Bloaty the thief is sent forward to spy, he turns and exclaims, not a pendulum per se...
I considered loading the brush and getting one of my SP2 female characters painted to jump the pendulum pit and than had this idea. A quick look and of course with WHFB in the past I had an unpainted fanatic, not a pendulum, but going in circles as a whirling dervish of death, so similar to a pendulum. Old metal fanatic. Some putty, string and the hallway. So here is my fanatic so hopped up on mushrooms he cannot figure out how to untie the rope. So 20 points for the Chamber and 5 for the goblin fanatic.
To all happy Christmas. These little side ventures keep me painting the actual wargames figures (stay tuned for 4 more Old Sweats at Little Bighorn)
Fantastic entry!! Merry Xmas to all
ReplyDeleteWell done and good idea for the theme. Schwing!
ReplyDeleteFunny and an excellent backstory for this trap. I've given you a few extra point for the wonderful basework. Well done!
ReplyDeleteNice idea for this one 👍🏼

Really effective painting, Bruce. My son used to have a goblin army filled with these brutes. Fortunately, they usually did more harm to his army than mine! Cue the squighoppers!
ReplyDeleteHahaha I was an Empire player for order and gunpowder. My alter ego was green skins. Ya gotta love animosity and fanatics . Yes most times more damage to me than others. Great fun.
DeleteSplendid looking fanatic!

I love this concept :D
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. I like the checks on the hood.
ReplyDeleteYou're surely getting into the swing of things! Love this litte nutter!
ReplyDeleteAwesome little blighter Bruce! Would you be a Pratchett reader by any chance?
ReplyDeleteI’m not. Just took a look. Do you have suggestions?
DeleteWell it's just that in one of the books he has an insane assassin called Tea Time pronounced Te-Ah Timeh so I thought your Nome de guerre to be a reference to that. The first 20 Discworld novels are hilarious. My favourite is Wurd Sisters. If you're not into hisform of fantasy the book he wrote with Neil Gaiman Good Omens is a must. Be sure to read it before watching the TV dramatisation.
DeleteLove the path worn on the floor!
ReplyDeleteGreat entry with perfect basing to suit .. Cheers Jez
