More annoying, than irritating...

Painting up Samurai Ape's armour in a red/white colour combo, thinking its going good ... then holding the base of figures at arms length and realising you've painted them to look like Santa Claus.  :'( :'( :'(

"Oh look, Roy's using his Christmas Apes army again!"  ~X(

Not the sort of thing that ever gets forgotten, is it? My advice would have been to move house...to another country just in case!  ;)

My Warmaster High Elves' paint scheme was inspired by the Japanese Ii clan who's samurai all wore red armour and were therefore known as the Red Devils. However my elves wound up being referred to as Santa's Little Helpers ... still beat seven bells out of most of the opponents they met though :)

Sounds like your Red Devils are more successful than their namesakes from Old Trafford have been lately ☺

With almost 1800 members, what are the chances of the Pendraken Forum swinging it in favour of "RRS Milord Oik of Runcorn" ?
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
