First off, that is some bloomin' impressive work.   =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

I was completely and utterly behind you all the way ... until the baggage. I know this is a hobby horse that I have ridden to the dust, but I have to ask about the Darkseid* face behind them.  

Is it expected that the baggage is a largely static unit? It's not expected to move and can therefore be left in situ throughout a game? If so I can view the Zordon**/baggage combo as terrain and get on with my day. If not, is the logic that the baggage tote the Face of Boe*** with them, or does it follow them Pacman**** like across the table?

I am, of course, just hugely jealous of your skills. Also curious to see what's behind Lady Cassandra*****.


* DC Comics super baddie - Google it!  >:(
** From the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. (I refuse to recognise any of the sequels. They were a mockery of the original concept.) He's a big floaty head thing that lures teenagers into a secluded fortress and then dresses them in skin tight clothes and gets them to stand in splayed-legged, exaggerated positions. What's wrong with that?  
***Dr Who character. Just a face.  In a jar of vinegar. A big face. Really big. No ... there's no logic to it.
****I'm not explaining that one
***** Another Dr Who character that was just a face in a jar. I don't know why. Maybe the writer had a fetish or something.Zoe Wannamaker did the voice and eventually she dried up and sort of popped. Lady Cassandra that is. Not Zoe Wannamaker.

Irksome reminder that when I eventually finish my Mexicans, I'll still need to paint up a lot of the opposition.
