On the painting desk once more are Zzzzzz's renegade nasties (pic below) but what's FAR more disturbing is the appearance of this mark of Chaos in No.1 Daughter's new toy:
This is a set of Rory's Story Cubes, a very kind gift from my dad. The set is nicely presented in a gorgeous little box and an absolutely brilliant idea for engendering storytelling and imagination, but it's also hideously overpriced in that very gratingly-aspirational-middle-class-y-kinda way, with a set of the basic nine dice costing about a tenner.
Mind you, as they point out, statistically alone each set affords over 10 million combination for storytelling, so one can't really be surprised that the taint of the Ruinous Powers inevitably got involved somehow...!
- Drax.
Never heard of that dice game - what is it?
ReplyDeleteTiny pic looks..... tiny. Cultists?
Hullo mate.
ReplyDeleteThere's a link on the post to the game's website: essentially you roll the dice then string the random images together into a story incorporating all nine images.
As for the pic? I'm leving these figures deliberately small in pics because...well, because they look rubbish as a work-in-progress. They look good when finished though, and I'll post them when they are - promise!
I have no idea what the models are really - I've never understood the first thing about chaos. Zzzzzz told me once or twice, but I've slept since then.
They're a bunch of nutters in KKK costumes; half with flamers and half with musical instruments. Lead by a priestly demagogue who wants lots of chaos-y type things like de-regulation of the financial sector and human sacrifice.
DeleteI don't just make this up, you know; I get it from the voices.
Gove?

Read Moorcock's Elric series. He describes Chaos the best imo. :)
It's interesting this game, I just discovered with this post on your blog.
