What would Don Featherstone do?

OK, here's the scenario. I have a broken elbow, my daughter came to stay so I've not had the painting table out for a month and the lead mountain is getting quite big. However, I've had the Golden E-Mail telling me that my most recent Pendraken order has been despatched. This means that my Pendraken order page will show no outstanding orders. Calamity! Added to that in 18 days  will be able to order some Centurions, but I CAN'T PAINT.

What to do?


  • Order the usual amount. The joy of Pendraken Delivery day makes up for broken bones.
  • Order a small amount of something unusual.
  • Wait until  you can paint again, you silly sod
  • Wait until Centurion Ordering Day
  • Go mad and place a huge order
  • Don't order, sit in a corner weeping quietly
  • Don't order, begin campaigning for Byzantines, or Egyptians, or T35's or something

Hmmm. What would Donald Featherstone do?

There seems little point in adding to Mount Plumbum whilst you're laid up. So how about trying something new that only requires one arm? For example, tiddlywinks, arm wrestling, crown-green bowling or cliff-diving (requires no arms at all). Or as a long-term project you could learn to play the piano with your feet.

Hope this helps. Get well soon.  ;)

Drown your sorrows in more lead which you cant paint but can ogle. This WILL speed up the healing process - trust me. I'm a gynaecologist... :D

So many double entendre's are going through my head
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

teach yourself to paint left handed, then when you are well again you'll be able to paint twice as fast

- Plan a campaign and scenarios for use with your Centurions.
- Read up on lots of military history.
- Catch up on some good WWII stuff on Youtube.
- Keep us entertained on the forum with your eloquent ramblings :D.

Write a book.
Was the elbow damage the result of your successful centurion campaign. a sacrifice to the Dark Plumb Lord for his blessing.
What will he ask you to sacrifice for the T35? :d

Well thank you for those suggestions. I really like the hornpipe, and have been annoying co-workers with it all day.  :d

I think I may content myself with a smallish order for scenery 'n' stuff.
