Dwarf Mini playing Bagpipes
« on: August 21, 2010, 07:09:00 AM »
A long time ago... I remember seeing a Reaper Mini of a dwarf playing the bagpipes and *facepalms* I did not buy it... anyone remember this piece or know of any around? I had a Sonnlinor I played in a 2nd edition pnp D&D game and, well, he was special, would like to have him for show in the house.

Oh sure. Everybody's in favor of saving Hitler's brain, but when you put it in the body of a Great White Shark, ooh, suddenly you've gone too far

That figure is truly awesome! I have to seriously get back into painting minis - anyone got any ideas about setting up in a house with minimal space with kids? I can see getting back into it and collecting a dwarven band section and having some amazing fun painting them!  :)

I have a crate for supplies/brushes/putty/flock etc, a large cork mat and a box for paints. I just get out what I need and put it all away when I'm done.  The secret is to prep and prime a few minis at a time so you can concentrate on the painting.

My new photo set up is pretty compact too, lean an A4 sheet against a drinks can and take a pic without a tripod using the flash on the minimum setting.

Seems to be quite a popular subject!  lol

Went to a few of the shops around here, couldn't find anything at all in the way of dwarves and bagpipes!  :'(

I am guessing, this isn't going to be a very easy thing to find, perhaps I would only have success at online shops. I'd really like to get the figures unpainted, while my painting skills are lousy compared to many I've seen here, I still want to have a go at it. If anyone knows of any shops selling these actual figures, I'd really appreciate links or such.

Thanks!
