I will forgive you as you are Danish and therefore English is not your first language.

The proper term would be "I had a night of copious alcohol and mind altering drugs whilst painting with Vikotnik"  ;D ;D ;D ;D
"A jewelled sceptre plucked by order to serve their cause"

I dunno - I'm sure I saw one the other night.

Oh hang on - that would be more of that copious alcohol and mind altering drugs that Svenn mentioned.  ::)

Nice work Dr The Viking - there are other types of doctor for this sort of thing  ;)

Hey man, it's not 100% historically accurate. You know, that kind of boots were only used during the first war against Palmyra, and it really doesn't match with the hairdo of the Ogre, which was, by those times, absolutely out of fashion. Sorry to point out that, but you know, this is what you get when you mess with historical models, dude.

Having had the pleasure to paint with Mr.Vikotnik for many years I can actually picture in my mind's eyes the two of you in his workroom. Beer (after every painting step "You have to drink beer once in a while."), some metal playing in the background, rumaging through one of the many bits boxes and the usual "Oh, cool, what's this?"
"How about if we put some other model on top of this?"
"Yeah, like, maybe, erm... this high-elf."
"Naaa- that somehow doesn't look right. How about this [drinking beer], how about this ogre?"
 "Ogre? No, wouldn't fit, would it?"
"Hm, maybe not. Okay, this here! I've got these Roman lying around and wanted to do a huuuuge project [Vikotnik pointing at a single, extremely well painted Roman soldier]. But then I got this other idea and after then I had to paint this [showing you the next excellently painted... thing] and now I have this new project..."
"Hihi, a Roman riding a Dunger, how cool is that?"
"Wait! He's not only riding, he is actally hunting the ogre [rumaging around another bits and model box, showing 20+ ogre models [sipping beer]! So, hm, what about this one?" (ad infinitum)

Yep, those were the days.

We don't need drugs or spaceships where we go anymore.  8)

Now that's something you don't see every day...

Nice paintjobs!

Thank you. I like to just put something together and paint every once in a while.

Nice work Dr The Viking - there are other types of doctor for this sort of thing  ;)

I'm sure that when it comes to miniatures I'm beyond repair.  lol

I'm growing fond of that expression.  8)

I think DeafNala is actually in some weird way the inspiration for this.

Nice! I always wanted a pink german force, but I guess romans on dungers is another way to go...
