Title: Ninja Pulp League!
Post by: gary42 on 30 July 2014, 05:22:45 AM
Just finished painting these beauties from the most excellent Kingsford Miniatures and Perry Miniatures!  Tokyo Rose (WIP) and her merry band of ninjas.  I have enough to make two gangs and a couple of Sidekick/Allies...Rose being the leader of course!  I was going to try and fiddle a Terror/Gang but Gangs =Allies (2 points).  Dunno... Maybe I'll still try and make one.  A Terror/Gang sounds fun! ;)

I remember that song but that might be the second best video ever!  I've totally forgotten where she comes from.  A Cthulhu Female Adventurer of some kind.  I'll take a better pic when she's done ;). Look forward to mauling Peabody with these... Or maybe the manufacturer if he's not chicken... Buckbuckbuck ;D

Hmmm...

QUITE interesting, if only 'cause tis easily provable...

Quote
Conservation of Ninjutsu

In any martial arts fight, there is only a finite amount of ninjutsu available to each side in a given encounter. As a result, one Ninja is a deadly threat, but an army of them are cannon fodder.

~~TL/DR~~

Also known as The Law of Inverse Ninja Strength: Threat Per Mook = O(1/N) where N = number of Ninjas (or other "Elite Adversaries"), that is, the threat per mook tends to decrease fast enough so total ninjutsu cannot grow, assuming arithmetic additivity of threat.


Careful study of all three major primary sources, comic books & movies & TV, clearly reveals innumerable instances of these irrefutable truths.

I am NOT sayin' Gary painted TOO many ninjas...

BUT,

never claimed to be a mathemagician

OK... But I'm going to insist that you use ALL your Tong against only one Ninja lol

Shocking display of poor manners exhibited by your Ninjas Gary42!  Buckbuckbuck?  Is that Ninja talk for the manufacturer (me) to bring my band of not so merry men to stomp all over your precious tea ceremony?  If it is, then I'm buckbuckbuck!  lol

On a more serious side, those are very lovely pj on the ninja and the dame ain't bad too!

Post by: gary42 on 04 August 2014, 10:37:55 PM
Awww Dave... Don't be so hard on yourself!  I'm sure all your men are quite "Merry" lol

They are beautiful minis.  Well done Dave! They will be well used!  Glad that you can get a little cross-genre sales with these.
