15mm Painted Ray "Ironsides" Batista from Rayonia.....

...with armed escort.

I have painted up the main danger to Franonia and it's peaceful dictatorship and this comes from Ray and his I don't want to do anything you tell me even if it's right attitude to common sense, the figure is from Peter Pig along with his escort of bodyguards and land rover's which are also from Peter Pig....

.......now why is he called "Ironsides" and it's because of his ability to sit in a chair and never get out of it (he even pees sitting down I hear but it could just be propaganda). I have painted him with a ginger tint and you may say but Ray is not ginger or strawberry blonde and I have only one thing to say....hair dye!

Ray has painted a new Mercedes (the vain git) so not much emphasis on this one as I will post his new one soon with personalised number plate (his work)....






This is what will happen when he comes up against the big dog......

    I'm really surprised and disappointed!

    The berets should be raspberry, as in the Prince song, their regimental march.

    Looking good though and I approve of the ginger wannabee look.

    Is Ray wearing that beard and moustache to hide his identity?

    Ray really shouldn't have left it to you to paint him.

    Poor Ray. He's gonna need some serious firepower to take on what you've been posting so far. Great minis. Very thoughtful of you to provide a casualty figure. :)

    Oh dear, me thinks that there may be a spot of tension on the borders of Franonia! They do look a troublesome bunch, but great work nonetheless.

    Great work. That last photo and caption make a very effective taunt. Rayonia will have to take action and give you the war you want -- and it'll all look like their fault (mwahahaha!).

    Mercedes is awesome and fun facts is funny about rayonia. God girlfriend is lucky, if he pees sitting down. I have 3:1 male:female ratio in our house, I know.

    Look at the pair of you, playing like two overgrown boys. Just between the two of us, I don't think old "Ironsides" stands a snowballs chance in hell of beating you, you big Irishman.

    I love the little war you two have... Remember when paul made that U.P. Urainus rocket and fired it at his neighbours... You two will start that any day now I can see it.

    oh and you can argue and reply on my post as too who will do that fist... Who will be the one who gets u.p. urainus first

    Reminds me of the time when i used to play these types of role plays. But i was more interested in the art that goes along with it.I used to go to the White Dwarf shop, draw posters for them.
