Last Hussar paints a single officer figure for a first fire marker  and several dead markers in matching uniforms for each of his WSS units.   

This causes lots of faffing about as he has to find the correct markers for each unit before and during the game and wasted time.

Brilliant,  dedicated and insane  8-}
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

The issue here is you're asking about weirdness on a wargaming forum...

None of us are exactly your run of the mill dudes and dudesses are we?

Big question is, if you don't do this, can you be classed as weird?  :-\

I'm normal.  My daughter-in-law is normal, my eldest is hyper-normal.

The rest of you are weirdos.

Before you listen to his complaint, remember he's the bloke who turns up late, then the second  he isn't rolling dice wanders off and has to be retrieved from chatting at another table.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Members of the jury, the defendant is digressing from the question we are here to decide.   Which is, is LH Weird?

The normalness of his eldest son or indeed his daughter in law is not in question.  Please ignore his rants and strike his comments from the record.

Objection. The defence seeks to establish the weird is a relative term, and Just a few Oiks is unreliable due to his inability to concentrate on the game he is supposed to be playing.
