May have found Jeffery, the monkey butler:



Eureka charles darwin, either as it comes or with a Black cat oranutang head swop.

More potential Animal Magic methinks!  :D

It may seem a bizarre suggestion, but if one wanted a Professor Elemental clad as per the Fighting Trousers video, I think Hasslefree's Mad Dog might be a good place to start:



The facial structure is very similar to the good Professor and it shouldn't be too hard to change the fireman's helmet for a pith helmet and to sculpt shorts on. The cape and the left arm are a somewhat tougher proposition, however...

Believe it or not I've been contemplating a Professor Elemental project for a while and I've been stuck on the Prof fig himself. But for the butler I was thinking of using a Dreamblade Doctor Ape - toss on a tophat, greenstuff a uniform and replace the back foots needle with a tray with a pipe and a drink.....

Thanks.

The Gentlemen's Club are an electic mix of LAM, Ironclad, Brigade, Westwind and even old Grenadier miniatures. A number of LAM head swops, and a pair of hand cannons (from Heresy) given to an old vampire wars police inspector to change the mini suitably.

With their equipment they are quite a senior faction and to be honest I've built it up with figures that please my eye rather than rules/points as yet. But that will come. Might lose the stake wielder, doesn't quite 'fit' re look, but we'll see.

The Impervious Suit is a whole other game altogether. ;)

Great looking club.  Good use of the LAM heads and weapon swaps.  Does EOTD have objective markers?  Will you be using a tea pot and cake?

Maybe the guy with the stake needs a crazy head and his stake converted into some sort of hammer activated stick bomb of some sort?  "Wait Lord Finkle!  No need to stake the Queen's BOOM!!!  Oh my..."

Looking forward to seeing more.

My dear sir, thanks to you, I now also crave a fine and noble Time Travelling Professor in miniature. Perchance, may I enquire as to your plans for the creation of such an item? Given that the good Professor has his own Emporium for the purchase of Chap Hop, etc. and the teasers for the Chronicles, a partnership with the fine fellow and a suitable sculptor may bear fruit I would be most desirous of picking - if you build it, they will come...

That's the general idea. Will be raising the matter directly with the good prof as soon as I have a chance. I think Paul will be quite receptive. Will update when have any info.
