I love a bit of Post-Apocalyptic nihilism with my breakfast on a Sunday morning - nice one Ollv!  lol

Nice touch with the T Shirt!

I want to understand the subtle "slann in space" joke in combination with a human among goblins ... I didn't get ... but want to  :?

The human is a self portrait of Kevin Adams, the famous sculptor of thousands of orcs and goblins.

It is wonderful to see these goblins with Kevin's self portrait. Are these from Goblin Aid? I am quite upset that Foundry is discontinuing this line as those figures are classics.

"Get wasted soon..."

Ahem. You may have been following the thread on Kev Adams being stabbed, GoblinAid, and things eventually turning out reasonably well. Foundry is selling Kev's self-portrait charity pack with snorklings on its own site and Flyte of Fantasy eBay store. The latter is also selling other Foundry fantasy stuff as the main site tries to be historical-only now.

Slann in Space is allegedly related to a 1988 Warhammer Townscape building set (and named after the Man in Space pub in Eastwood, Nottingham). We've seen it before in various contexts. I guess the connection to this scene isn't very strong but it might be there...

nice dedication with the gobbos.

The clothed skeles are very funny. Who is the manufacturer?

Interesting entry ollv. I can't think of one like it... All casualties. The birds eye view is nice too- I feel like I'm in a helicopter asking wtf happened here?

Domot's spot on there - I needed a background and the Slann in Space was near to hand. I suppose there is a tenuous link as most of my collection of Kev's stuff are greenskins from GW's golden age.  :D

O'Leary - I gather foundry are planning on re-releasing a lot of Kev's stuff at some point in the future.

Mason - I can see what you mean there! Must admit I'm not sure about the story behind the voodoo mask and wooden pipe he's holding.
