I think it's generally accepted that Vikings didn't have time machines amongst other things
I think most opinion might support you there. 😁
As I said though, opinions not facts. Neither you, other experts in the field nor I were there so it's only opinion resting on interpretation in the end. I'll leave you happily with your 100% accurate figures, not that they will ever exist mind, for reasons I've already given you.
Well we can only strive for accuracy even if others don't and those going for the "rule of cool" pursue an aesthetic regardless.
I'm not sure you ever really gave "reasons" but if you think you did I'm happy with that :D :D

I guess you have to accept that if you advertise on a forum that people might point out genuine issues and state that the figures aren't to their taste. If you can't accept that...maybe you shouldn't advertise?

I had a Morris Marina. It's only conceivable in war would have been as ammunition for a large trebuchet

I have no issue with opinions, just opinions masquerading as facts. At the last I saw the Kickstarter had 530 backers, so I draw support from those for my view on Matt's figures rather than your lone syren voice. Where I do agree with you is on the issue of packaging figures Vs individuals, something I've detested from Foundry's first steps in that direction. Anyway, we must agree amicably to differ and not risk boring folk to death

Comment deleted and sent by DM in response to the "lovely" one I got, so everyone else doesn't need to suffer this bullshit anymore :D

But I am amazed how you've managed to turn a relatively tactful comment:

Into a full blown argument!

Thanks for the Private Message, I have replied in the same way. I didn't see this as an argument myself, just a difference of opinion.

Not a word you want some of the folk on here to catch you with in your spell-checker's history.

"Restrained" that is.....

Yes...this is SPARTA!! :D :D


Although this Spartan got bored and wandered off into the hills some time yesterday muttering something about "If you don't want an honest answer don't ask the f'kin question" :D :D
