Only if you do first. ;)

I think I will get these, not quite sure why , but they must have a use! Actually Dr Who and the Daemons comes to mind

I can find the ideal place for them - Dr Who and the Daemons! There's even a scenario in Graeme Dawson's "Dr Who Miniatures Game" where they could be used.
Just to jog a few memories - it's the scene where the Master has got all the villagers on his side and they are out to capture the Doctor by the Maypole lol
Absolutely perfect for that scene, but I don't know if I could ever justify buying the figures :(
-
They would make excellent stormtroopers, as you'd run a mile if they where advancing towards you shouting 'Hey nonny nonny!' and their cavalry looks quite hard as well. lol

Not very fast, though :?

;D ;D ;D why oh why ;D ;D ;D
Strange :o :o :o

I'm betting we'll see these in PM's Zombie Hunter thread soon enough.
The more I think about it the more these might make good panic markers.
-
I was told as a kid that they wore bells so that blind people could take the p**s too!
One of the few permanent maypoles left is only a couple of miles from here - stay well clear on May day.
-
Perfect for creepy Cthulhu-esque village goings on. Am very amused that the reaction to these figures generally seem to be 'they're weird, yet I feel strangely compelled to buy them...'. Brilliant!
-
;D ;D ;D why oh why ;D ;D ;D
Because they couldn't get kilts ?
-
OK, I will admit it. I am stumped. What is a Morris dancer?
-
A traditional folk danceing group made out of rather odd men :P

You get some slightly less traditional ones which include girls too :

I saw this group in Scarborough last summer and they were..... interesting.
The blue face paint and shimmery balck costume is distinctive.
-
We need a goth morris dancing troupe in Nottingham :D

At least when we dance around like prats we use real swords not sticks :D
-
Yeah, but you put them on the floor....
-
used to be a Morris dancer....but I kept falling off the bonnet.
(N.B. this is the 4th oldest joke known to Mankind)
I stopped tap dancing because I kept falling in the sink.

Morris Men are used offensively to good effect in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novel 'Lords and Ladies'.
-
I remembered some bit about Morris dancers from Blackadder, so was quite amused to actually see some at a small town event in Devon on my one and only trip to England.
Besides Dr. Who and Cthulhu scenarios, one could work in some Morris dancers into scenarios based on 18th Century smugglers or highwaymen, 17th Century swashbucklers or ECW, the X-files, UFO, the Avengers, or Dad's Army... and Blackadder, of course.
-
These are great - I just love them.
Anyone any idea how big they're likely to be? I suspect too big to fit in with anything I use but you never know.

They're by Gipping Beast so shouldn't be too big.

If it's any help, my Gripping Beast Vikings fit in perfectly with the Foundry equivalents and also the more modern Artizan Designs Vikings. They are also compatible in size with Copplestone etc.
Don't know anout the Mozzymen though, but from looking at GB figures I own, both old and new, they don't seem to be afflicted by the dreaded "scale creep" so should fit most "modern" 28s.
