A very special Inflatable Warhammer unit.

[kalebdaark]

Hello all,

Time to shovel it out again!    This time Santa's helper's been busy creating a Warhammer spoof unit .   I can hear 'em griping now:

"YOU CAN'T USE THESE IN TOURNAMENT PLAY!!!!"

And who sez I was gonna, ya snob?     They're gonna find their way into my Zombietown game.   Basically what happens is the player finds a magic amulet of "Substitutiary Locomotion" and sends up that classic disney flick along with the aforementioned fantasy game from the company who shall remain nameless.   The figures are Shadow Forge's  Blow-up Dolls figures, mounted WH style and painted (very very) roughly to their specs.   So here they are:



Here are their "catalog descriptions":

1: Schoolgirl in Go-Go Boots, wielding claymore, chaos shield because just about everything in WH has to be chaos.
2: Much -used stocking clad lass, claymore, round target shield
3: Leader hoisting Doppel-hander Flamberge, Crying "FREEDOM!"
4: Musician using left breast as a bellows for the bagpipes
5: Claymore wielding, crosseyed,  advancing with slight shuffle, shield with zombie trophy head, saying "Arrrggggghhh!"
6: Schoolgirl, claymore, advancing with wicker shield stolen from a kobold down on his luck
7: 1950's hairdo lass in nightie, wielding claymore, going for broke with her best "Red Sonja" impersonation
8: PVC Girl in full PVC acoutrement with large round shield wielding claymore in a semi-professional manner
9: Claymore wielding, Andorian, because hey, sometimes we all feel like some Andorian, right?   Going for "grundle shot" with spiked buckler.
10:  Girl with wicker shield shouting "It's not easy being green" because practically everyone's "going green" right now.
11:  Bikini clad gal with large round shield attempting to look marginally formidable.
12:  Mounted Paratrooper advancing, legless, on fire  with potato masher grenade.

ERRATA (because it wouldn't be a game catalog entry without errata, now would it?)

#12 is actually a chainmail bikini girl, wicker shield, claymore, attempting to "get medieval on your ---"
Because a Mounted Paratrooper advancing legless on fire with a grenade would actually be pretty silly.

Please feel free at this point to engage in lengthy running commentary of praise or derision of the author or any of the aforementioned entities.   I also encourage folks to play whatever game they wish with whatever miniatures they wish, because contrary to popular marketing-driven belief, both the minis and the game are yours to do with as you please.  You bought 'em, you own 'em.

Have fun folks!

Weird! It would appear the sculptors at ShadowForge are not washing their hands before eating, after working with strange materials! Either that or they're drinking Bundaberg (a lot!) on the job! 

Don't you think it's counterproductive to give BUDZ edged or pointed weapons? 

[Doomsdave]

Yes on a miss they could roll to see if they popped.  If filled with noxious gas instead of air the effect would be better. 

Brilliant unit.

They are ...  interesting and disturbing at the same time...

[Doomhippie]

That's just great! And hell, of course they'd fit in with a warhammer chaos army - though mybe Mordheim sounds a little more fitting... Nice ladies.

[Doomsdave]

Have you put these on Frothers?  They're sure to be a hit there.  Unrepentant Pervs.   

[Little Odo]

Love them ... erm ... er .. ahem .. not literally if you know what I mean

Nuff said!

How would they survive all the spikes?

Next you need a nerdy "handler" with puncture repair kit and foot pump.

Seems like this unit should be guarding the armies tents.  Better get them a magic banner to keep all those nasty arrows away.  

Nicely done.

I LOVE the Babes...I bet they'd throw the G.W. Staffers/Fan Boys into a terminal case of the Deep Purple Horrors. VERY WELL DONE!

On a side note/anecdote: my Amigo, Captain John, once took a unit of Rackham Celtic Babes I had painted for him into the Katy Mills G.W. store. He was told that non-G.W. minis weren't allowed. He told trhe that he brought them in to show them what females actually looked like...they were not amused.
