Is that supposed to be a "Die 'Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt" joke? ;)

Having little knowledge of German I googled that and am now even more confused.

H - there are currently over 40,000 tracks on my i-pod and none of them are by Elvis  :D

Well, there's a city called Memphis in Aegypt, so it makes a certain amount of sense.

One of the people I initially played Wargods with had a bunch of To-tanem, the living stone people, and his general was "The Rock of Memphis".  His army included a unit of "back up slingers"...

I don't think that's a great picture of the seated fellow - it's a great looking figure, perfect for a civilian or beggar or merchant (or musician, or for that matter for his stated purpose - as a Basti Camp-Follower)... for some reason in that picture he looks a little buck-toothed...

Whilst I appreciate the quality and humorous effects of the 28mm Elvis re-incarnations, I'm also not really a fan. My mum loves him, though.

Not heard of that one before  :?  I'm a fan of Chad's though and love his work on the Chickenfoot album as well as with the Chillis, so I may have to think about getting this one. It seems it may be a bit too much funkiness and not enough kerrrrrraaaaannggg!! for me, so I'm not sure ;D

Apart from the Catvis figure, which can be resold/given away, the dancing catgirl and musician would do quite nicely for a Beastmen of Ind force...

...and indeed one of these days I may take the plunge into Wargods, or at least the figures.
