The Emporium, Bazaar and Burneye Sandork.

Hi All,

Been busy with Track, Taxes and home improvement projects. I also fried my router and made the mistake of ordering a new one through Linksys. I think I could have gone down to Best Buy and got one for a comparable price and I'd have it already. I did buy a little dongle so that I can plug my ethernet cable into my Surface tablet, but the lack of wifi is killing the family.

Ok, you came for the minis.


Sorry for the turned photo. My cellphone sometimes does this when I'm taking landscape shots. These are the candidates for Burneye Sandork, arch nemesis of Dahn Alt Rump. The early favorite is the one on the top (Left if it was horizontal). They are Goff Weirdboy, Boss in Power Armor with Bionik Eye, Bad Moon Boss and Death Skulls Boss. I got all these from fellow Oldhammerer Brian K. and found out who they were, and what that little piece was from the 1991 Catalog on solegends.com. I also have the Ork Freebooter with Robot body somewhere but I have misplaced him.


This is the Eureka Voltaire figure that I am going to use for my Abdul Goldberg character submission to The Emporium of Rogue Dreams facebook group. If you don't know, Abdul is an intergalatcic space pirate that is mentioned no less than three times in the plot generator in the back of the Rogue Trader rule book. I have until the end of May for this one.


This sorcerer is due at the end of this month for the Otherworld figure competition on The Bazaar of Crooked Wonders facebook group. So I'm going to need to push him through. I have the whole Idol diorama kit with this but I have a big plan for using led's that requires several steps that I have no experience with. So I keep putting that off.

I also keep forgetting to acknowledge two new followers. Evgeniy Brikelev and chikenbane (I think). Niether of you have a blog listed in your Friend connect file. If you have a hobby related blog I will post a link to it. Also, if you don't have some kind of profile picture you get appended to the beginning of the list. This makes it harder for me to figure out when you join.

Gotta run. Happy Hobby Time Y'all.

  1. I share your internet pain Sean, my new "supplier" hasn't managed to give my household one minute of Internet access.... Cool minis, I owned most of the Orks at some point, wish I still did.

    1. Hi dGG, I wish I could blame things on my provider but it's all on me. Our household has become completely dependent on wifi. What'd we do before all this connectivity?

  2. Sorry to hear about the internet woes, but you look as if you have some lovely miniatures to distract you.

    1. Ahoy Stevo! Since we are blog bros and it is your "favorite model ever" I'll email you about his travel arrangements. Seems like a perfect opportunity to return a favor/ pay it forward since so many have been cool to me on the bloggisphere. Or is that in?

    1. Hi Peter, thank you. The Voltaire mini is nice. He's buried in the 18th Century civilians section of the catalog. I emailed the US distributor and was able to get him with Frederick the Great without the full musician set.
