Quote from: "Malamute"
Quote from: "PeteMurray"
Dragoons are phenomenally useful figures, applicable in a wide range of settings where they can chase all sorts of ruffians, booze it up in taverns and pinch the barmaids, and quarter themselves on the unwilling populace. Being mounted (and usually armed with a variety of toys), they're more than token resistance to heroic knaves and ne'er-do-wells. In short: Good choice.


How do I get to become a Dragoon, Where do I sign up? I like the idea of boozing it up in a tavern and pinching barmaids :D


I'm afraid the only way is to work one's way up the ranks. You have to spend a year as one of the "barmaids" first. Doesn't seem so attractive anymore, does it? :P :P
"When to keep awake against the camel's swaying or the junk's rocking, you start summoning up your memories one by one, your wolf will have become another wolf, your sister a different sister, your battle other battles, on your return from Euphemia, the city where memory is traded." - Italo Calvino

Depends on who is doing the pinching :lol:  :lol:

I was getting a bit impatient as I have been waiting over two weeks for some orders from the UK so I went and looked through the Fantasy Ranges at the local shop and found .

Reaper 03262 Beetle Swarm with victim who is unfortunately a giant compared to my Copplestone etc figures so I may have to make a statue out of.

Wargods of Aegyptus WGE-119 Anubi Crypt Lord . I have sold my GW Tomb kings so will be replacing them with this range (slowly) to play Pulp games with.

Some very nice Samurai Perry Miniatures arrived yesterday which I've got from a trade with super_gibbon.
There is also the excellent lab equipment from Pardulon acquired at the Tactica convention and the Tactica 2008 special miniature "Bischof Ansgar"

He is the guy accredited withbringing christianity to DK - and thus the guy I can thank for my (middle) name (Christian)...  I'm disappointed that I could not go, I would have liked to get my paws on this one (and get to meet some people from in here 'in the flesh'), but I simply had too much to do and too little time to do it in this last week....

(We have several 'Ansgar Churches' in DK)

Who makes the tunnel rats? TAG? An excellent book to read on the subject is the Tunnels of Cu Chi (excuse spelling)
