Team Adventure - Ferros' new look.

Ferros, the expert in all things undead (creating as well as turning, these days) has got a make-over. Since he joined the group, Ferros' player has been using this figure

but since he's just celebrated a birthday, we thought that he deserved a figure of his own. We naturally turned to Brian at Lead Legion, who'd painted the Elysia and Gullhor figures. Brian not only managed to locate a new figure for Ferros that was at the same time reminiscent of the current incarnation but also brought a lot that was new to the character, but also breathed life and individuality into the figure. I direct you to his blog, where you can see the new Ferros in all his glory.

I can't recommend Brian's services highly enough; he's helpful, knowledgeable and delivers exquisitely good results at very reasonable prices. If you haven't given him a try, what's stopping you?

Old School Christmas

As the day is nearly upon us, and as I'm unlikely to be posting on the 25th, here is a little treat for you all: back in 1971, an animated Christmas Carol was made that still stands proud amongst the multitude of imitators since. I like this one because of the thoroughly retro feel to its animation, bringing to mind the original Victorian illustrations and with more than a hint of Gustave Dore's cityscapes.

I'd like to raise a glass of port to you all this Christmas; 2010 may not have been the best of years for the world but I'm glad to have all of you as followers and hope that I can offer you many months and indeed years of reading. My best wishes to you all and to all your friends and families.

And now, the movie:
