Monkey?

[Maenoferren]

Here is Captain Pinch minus his second tail...


Complete with blue splodge on his nose....bugger! :x


Captain Pinch's rear.

He stands about 25mm from feet to top of his feather on his hat. He also comes with a handy crew of 10 muskets etc. Added to the empire state troops he has a pretty tough crew.  HAve also made some of the worldworks cardboard rowboats for him to sail about in. HAvent got round to making the maiden of the seas yet.

He's a lovely little chap!

So, to make sure I have this right, he is in the most recent version of the GW Empire handgunners?

They re-design their ranges so may times I'm not sure which is which  

Cheers,
Ian

I want that monkey. But I will *NOT* enter the local tample of the evil empire and fork out 20 Euro for a box of plastic.

Yes the Monkey is from the new handgunners sprue...

He can be seen next to the guy with the 'sniper' musket - for some reason he is painted green.

Like I said as well for some reason he has 2 tails, but it is easy to snip off and file flat.  I took the one off with the knife strapped to it, as it looked better, but either can be removed easily.

He really is a great figure, but I got mine at 15% off with free postage so was willing to splash out.  He is exactly what I wanted.

So you have principles... ::

Yes, they are a very high price, but you can get some slightly cheaper here:

For a man of your calibre, it would be easy to then kidnap the monkey, assemble & paint the others, then re-sell them on EBay & make a profit.

I would, but just don't have the time

You can buy just the powder monkey without sacrificing at the alter of the two-headed eagle!

Thanks, Maeno - I think I will get some off EBay & eventually get around to combining them with my militia & zombies, to give me some nice undead for a future project

What calibre would that be? .22? :-)

We Swedes have a rep for being nice, drunk and guillable so I am a bit weary som street smart London Fagin type is going to take advantage of the 'Sweden' tag in ebay and sell me the handgunners sans monkey.

Curses! You've rumbled me..... and I thought it was the perfect plan ::

Chief Wattattootto Of the Wetapunga tribe eventually loses his temper over captain Pinch's comments about the relative size of their feathers!

Is "feathers" a euphemism......  ::

Yes. He means penis (penisii?)
