We are all just a figment if your warped imaginations!

I know I'm real, the voices told me so. And if I wasn't how does the bank taking money off me, eh?

Virtually ?

I guess it's all made up, I virtually never have any real money on me

There was a young man who said, "God
Must think it exceedingly odd
When he finds that this tree
Continues to be
When there's no-one around in the quad."

"Young man, your amazement is odd.
I am always around in the quad;
And therefore this tree
Continues to be,
Observed by, yours faithfully, God."

Reality problems solved, possibly, or not.

Hmmm. God is a sphere with centre everywhere and circumference nowhere, as Pascal observed with more imagination that geometry (it was Pascal, wasn't it?), whereas a quad is of course angular. Does God fit in and so leave non-divine angles as flaws in omnipresence, or does He overlap like a fat man in a small chair? Such wastefulness would suit imProvidence better than Providence.

No wonder religion's on the way out.

I see your point. The Almighty would not use the term "faithfully", would He?

This may be the worst-hijacked post ever.

Nah....Not yet.

Back on track, I tested the Newline 10mm. Decent, quite well detailed & proportioned, but lacking in variety - only 1 pose per pack, barring leaders & banners. They'll add some variety to my existing forces. Look like they'll fit well with Pendraken, MM, etc.

Their peltasts and Celts are two-pose packs.

I sit corrected. I also didn't buy any cavalry, so don't know how good they are. I did buy Sumerian battle carts (can't really call them 'chariots'...), and the animals pulling them look more like ponies than asses...

Thought Sumerian trolleys were pulled by asses, not horses?
Probably because the horses in those days would be nearer donkey size, as domestication and selective breeding hadn't really taken hold yet...

Wish Newline would stick some pictures up,saying that from what I have seen they look identical to their 20mm ranges. I wonder if some clever moulding technique has been used or maybe Sean has invented a shrink ray

They were, Onagers, apparently - a kind of semi-domesticated ass. But these just don't have the look of an ass, they look like short-maned ponies. I'm not sure what the difference is, but, l know it when I see it...

Quite possible an appropriate paint job (they are quite distinctly coloured) will transform them.

I wish! Shrink me some Mexicans, someone!

At 10mm scale I suspect much of the difference between onagers, donkeys and ponies is in the onager's distinctive coloration

Onager



Donkey



Pony

Rather an attractive animal, that.
