Gaming Glen Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) I've been trying to think of what sort of mini should be made in return. Something with its head up its elf? (okay. last word keeps getting replaced with "elf". similar in concept: 3 letters, first is A vowel, next two are consonants although they are supposed to be the same consonant) Perhaps another would be somebody behind a donkey? ;) Edited February 7, 2017 by Gaming Glen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulgarities are turned into amusements. My personal stance is that gentle mocking, followed by ignoring it, is the best course of action. So, as usual, reaper hit the nail nicely on the head. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thes Hunter Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I personally like the visual of something with its head up an Elf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgetman! Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 As a member of PETE(Painters for the Ethical Treatment of Elves) I must protest against the use of 'elf' as a derogatory word. No, I'm not really a member of PETE. I am a member of People who Really Abhors Viking sculpts With Idiotic Horned Helmets. PRAVWIHH for short. And as such I would like to make the statement that there has never been found any archaelogical evidence that Vikings used horned helmets in battle. The idea that they had horn originates from the costumes and artwork made for the Der Ring des Nibelungen, a set of 4 epic music dramas by Wagner. We will therefore request that Reaper reconsiders the use of the word 'viking' in conjunction with any future sculpts of miniatures wearing horned helmets. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also like to point out that Viking lady bras similarly result from operatic costumery of the nineteenth century based on badly misunderstood archaeology, during which the two round shoulder brooches that held up Nordic women's overdresses increased in size and slipped down to become two boobshields. As such, metal bowl-shaped bosom-armor belongs in the same realm of fantasy as horns on helmets, and from the same erroneous source. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Jack Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) No, see, the whole viking-horns-and-boob-armor thing is just a huge misunderstanding based on how the ancient Norse cleverly carried their drinking horns and food bowls attached to their clothing on hooks... The ancient Norse were the original inventors of the Beer Hat. Edited February 7, 2017 by Mad Jack 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pragma Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Maybe Reaper could produce a werewolf mini wearing a cloak of human skin Soylent. Then everyone would be happy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melbourne Mew Mew Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Well I for one think this is a principled stance, and also recommend that all real skulls carried on belts, staves, used as pyramids, be considered high quality replica ones carved out of wood stone or plastic and painted to look like bone. some people (in Peta) have too much time on their hands, perhaps they need a hobby? I have one or two I could recommend. I heard one theory that the way this started was that someone was looking up 40k material at the PETA office, got caught, and had to think of a justification. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, Der Ring des Nibelungen doesn't actually portray very many Vikings (Viking being one of many ethnicities that shared the Norse language and religious beliefs). The opera's protagonist Sigfried/Sigurd was not a Viking, for example. On 3/3/2017 at 1:56 PM, urloony said: Did GW ever post a reply? Yes, they did, and it was pretty brilliant. Fur the Emperor This is an explanations of the things that Imperial Guardsmen are allowed to do to the enemy (shoot repeatedly, maim, kill, dismember). But they are specifically forbidden from wearing the enemy. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
