But that weird-ass Ben Hur pulp version is doable with existing parts!

The only description of Conan’s dress in “A Witch Shall Be Born” is that he wears “black mail” after being rescued in the desert, but given that in the story he’s supposed to be the captain of the guard for one of REH’s never-ending supply of vaguely Asiatic (as in Asia Minor, not East Asia) petty kingdoms, the artist’s conception is perfectly workable, and far more appropriate to the setting than the usual furry loincloths endemic to more recent depictions.

I'm not talking about dress. I'm talking looks. Black hair, bronzed skin, blue eyes. Not Arnold Schwarzenegger. That's all. You know what i mean.

I got sidetracked thinking about how Conan tends to dress according to local climate and custom in Howard’s stories, rather than gad about always and everywhere in just a loincloth. |

Painfully close to unlocking the brown horse. I'd like to see those centaurs moved up the unlock list to try and get some momentum going. I know there's always a good kick in the last few days, but there's a lot of pasture between the current position and the centaurs.

Aside from being expensive, BFS orcs are also kind of small. So, I whipped up some quick and easies to fortify my ranks:
Also wanted them to be bigger than Conan, who in turn I wanted to be a little bigger than your standard HACK.

Love the Roman Gear - but what about the rest of the Roman armor?

Received my Wave 3 order today - King Steelblade, Aspen, female BL orc, and the Ruby Red armor. Aside from whatever went wrong with the Aspen blond head, everything looks fantastic. And I agree with early posts that the Ruby Red Is not 'ruby', but more of a metallic blood color, which to me is better.
I also don't appreciate BFS talking about the various castles in the card back fluff. It encourages the desire for playsets and/or build-a-figure dioramas. Terrible to tease addicts with such things. |

I also received my wave 3 today.
I think the hair on Aspen isn't glued on correctly. She has quite a forehead.
