Title: Unpainted miniatures cause injuries-official!
Post by: vodkafan on July 16, 2018, 12:47:14 PM
This morning I had a baking tray full of about 50 undercoated 28mm figures fall 6ft off the top of a wardrobe onto my face . It actually drew blood, I have a gash on my nose that dripped for several minutes. What was more upsetting though is some of the bayonets of the minis are broken off and I will have to replace the miniatures. Also I have a horse that I can't find the rider of. The Chiltern Space Pirates came out of it OK though, those big chunks of metal are probably what did for me  :(

The moral is , if these had been painted and finished they would have been safely in the cabinet rather than balanced precariously.

I live in fear of an avalanche from my lead mountain & if there was a nuclear strike against Rugby town, I would be buried under all that  molten lead, much to the bemusement of some future archaeologist.

On the flip side, you will be perfectly safe from those gamma rays in your pile of lead!

James.
You usually don’t roll well enough to get a HIT.
Try explaining what happened if you ended up in A and E.

Once I cut my fingers on macedonian pikes. It was the fist time playing with pike made from steel and not beeing used to pikes but to normal length spear on my miniatures. So I tried to grab some dice on the far side of the unit, but didn't lift my hand high enough ....

The good news is that you will find your horse rider, when you are next in bare feet :-)

The moral is...

...that you are not as tall as 6ft James!  :D
Get well soon.

Here at the Dept of Classics and Archaeology we consider that as proof Asterix and Obelix existed.

Hope you find the missing rider and aren't scarred for life like the fellow in the pic above. Was it the tray that caused the damage though, or the lead?

An acquaintance of mine once had a worse experience while driving with a box of battle-ready figures under the driver's seat; they slid under the pedals in a sudden crisis as he had to slam on the brakes. He says the

CRUNCH

as the pedal descended was the most painful sound of his life.
