Um ... well you see Pendraken don't do a T35, and I just absolutely had to have them, don't you see? All those turrets and the mechanical unreliability it was totally irresistible. The Dark Lord tempts you with the T28, but it's only half way there. You can't have a T28 without a T35, it's like having the left glove but not the right; like fielding League of Ausberg cavalry without the Incontinent Dragoons; like voting BNP (insert party of choice) without self loathing.

So I had two options. I did tentatively suggest a while ago that Pendraken produced a T35, but after my gentle urging for Centurions, I knew that I wasn't prepared for the emotional scars that the return joshing would bring.

I held on for as long as I could. I bought French, I bought Italian, I ran out of things to buy ... I tried everything I could to avoid buying non-Pendraken, but as time drew on, I kept going back to the Minifigs site. At first it was just to have a look, but as time went on, I visited the site more and more. At times, I went to the Minifigs site before I logged on to the Forum.

I was weak. I know that. I thought, perhaps just a couple or three and that would be it. Then I found that I needed four, so I did it again. I'm not proud of myself. I should have glued some extra turrets on a T26 and been grateful. But I didn't. I gave in to the temptation, and I'm sorry.

If you'll excuse me, I'll take this glass of whisky and this service revolver into the Techno's room. It's so covered in blood no-one will notice a little more.    

I hope you'll find it in your hearts to think well of me.

Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

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

A revolver is not suitable - You need the cleansing of the Flames.

Can we have a whip round for faggots (of wood) and some parafin? When we have enough money for them we can do a public burning.

Refreshments of Camomile tea and cucumber sandwiches will be provided during the burning for all spectators.

Afterwards we will auction off his valuables to provide for his daughter and ex wifes cat.  :D

Searching on Random numbers in the webstore is fun  :D

You find all sorts of interesting things you didn't know existed, had forgotten about, or are just intriguing.

I just found AC34 Tentacled Behemoth - thought that sounds interesting http://www.pendraken.co.uk/AC34-p5153/
And discovered it had 1 of my photos against it - so I already have this, tuck away some where...
