So, will they be moving cover, tactical objectives, Surprise Reinforcements (ala Zulu) or the Stampeding Herd That Must Be Diverted From Destroying The Town (ala The Herd of Mass Destruction from Knights of the Dinner Table)?

BTW, lovely paintjob. And no puns.

Thanks, and I think we've probably used up most of the puns already  ;D

Current plan is to use them as an objective or a random event/mobile scenery. I've got another set that I'm hoping to paint up as wild cattle in case yobbish cows are needed.

I'd ask how he painted them, but I'm not sure he's into cow-tipping...

Wait until he posts pictures of his sheep.
Title: Re: Cows
Post by: Wirelizard on September 26, 2010, 08:54:01 PM
That would be a wooly baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad idea.

On the other hoof, perhaps not posting them would be seen as cow-ardly?

Ok, do you use these rather lovely cows as plunder markers in Pig Wars?

I think I answered this earlier in the thread but I'm scared to go look  ;)

not specifically for pig wars, but I will be using them as objectives or just mobile scenery

(N.B. I am now taking medication for this obsesion but the pills have not yet started working.)

So these pills will ena-bull you to moooove on? Good idea - we should all remember than a giant thread of nothing but cow puns would be a mi-steak.

I was surprised how many of us followed the herd and contributed...

On a serious note, it is traditional for at least one of the animals to have a bell hung from it, often a simple copper one in Africa. When that cow moves, the others tend to follow it keeping the herd together. It's also useful if their horns aren't working.

Yes that would be a god detail to include.

Rob

P.S. Should you decide to post some nice pictures of well painted (and your cows are very accurately painted by the by) sheep, you should know better by now.

And i thought someone would complain because I forgot to give them eartags  ;)

I wasn't sure which period they were for and I had no doubt that you'd also neglected to photograph the sides where you'd done an excellent rendition of their branding.

Not only do Cows have Eartags (one in each ear), but they even have their own passports, and that is not bullshit!

The cow passport office is in your patch of the world isn't it? technically it's only cattle that are going to enter the food chain that need passports, which basically means all of them anyway, one of those strange government decisions. In fact as far as I know the only cattle in England that don't have ear tags are the wild herd in Northumberland, not sure on their passport status they may have diplomatic immunity.

I did actually think about it, but then decided I couldn't be bothered painting tiny numbers on their back ends. :D

It is indeed, I worked for them till 15:12 Pm today, when I was made redundant, hoorah!

Its an awful place, we used to get the passports sent back covered in shit, dripping with blood and on one jolly occasion stuffed in a cow organ of some description. Oh how we all laughed! Some Farmers are such wits.

Mind you, a now ex colleague, up until last week, thought that you got milk from all cows, male and female. I dont want to know how he thought the males where milked. He's only 24 poor lad...

Sorry to hear that, hope you can find something else reasonably quick,

And I hope you never sent that ex-colleague out for milk
Title: Re: Cows
Post by: Danny the Chimp on September 30, 2010, 10:06:20 PM
Thankfully he was never on milk duty.  :-X

Though he was possibly the oddest person I have ever had to sit next to in a work environment. He was once nearly fired due to admiting he had been pleasuring himself in the work toilets, he believed me when I told him goats where all male sheep, he has a signed picture of David Milliband on his desk, framed for all to see... and there are many other risque and unmentionable storys about him.

Thankfully I am one of the lucky ones, I've a new and much improved job starting on Monday! So just one day of unemployment. Then back to the real world and I'll have to work my arse off again  :D

Well congrats on the new job :) and enjoy your day of unemployment  ;)

What, a serious question - what udder nonsense!

Sorry to horn in.

Actually, it was a good question.  Now I just need to remember the answer years from now when I need cows...
