I wish there were more like them, I really like Elizabethan warfare
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

That would be great imagine dwarven border reivers vs. goblin border reivers or halflings. :)

I agree re more Elizabethan figures.  Gets crowded out between medieval and English Civil War.  The 16th Century lends itself to a host of different types of environment and foes (and the feuds of the border reivers are fascinating), and there are only a few manufacturers making 16th century figures other than landsknechts.   How about some reasonably priced Ogres?!?!?!

Why you been having a sex change operation?

Or is 'busty, one of the seven dwarfs?

Nicely painted though  :)

I never did believe in bearded dwarven maidens (I know that Terry Pratchet used it in Disc World).

Ah true and think in the hobbit movie they dont have beards, however this could be one reason why the woman pictured is still a virgin  ;) ;D
