Sheltered, you better keep the wolf back from the door
He wanders ever closer every night
And how he waits begging for blood
I promised you everything would be fine

A warm and appreciative welcome to the dragonflies who have emerged from their watery haunts to provide relief from the flying pests which would otherwise cause us defenseless humans aggravation and torment.

The then silent night had given way to the screams of pain, terror and the sinister and spiteful laughs of the vampire.
Their swords created through their own blood, with extreme speed fall on their victims dismembering them and decapitating. They didn't even have a chance to fight him with dignity, as they could only feel a sudden strong wind, see a brief figure and then, their bodies were sliced up with such force that their armor felt like paper.
In the sky, the moon shone like a huge, glittering silver scythe, a somewhat apt shape for this night, when he was a reaper and didn't make a point of leaving any poor devil alive. Everyone would pay for standing against him. With grace and extreme savagery their swords continued to fall on those who could no longer flee, who due to such fear, were paralyzed. It was a slaughter. He didn't care, he wouldn't be forgiving or pious tonight, he would be brutal and he insisted on demonstrating all his power, so that no mortal, vampire, or werewolf would ever make a point of rising up against him again. He would allow only the women and children to survive this night, to tell everyone about the horror that had befallen their city. When the animals controlled by a demon invaded the city gates, as if lashed by its invisible whip, and when finally the devil himself descended on them, always almost invisible, like a wind of death, at first tearing with its beastly claws the terrified people of the city, then impaling them, with spears created through their own blood, setting the city ablaze with flames that seemed to arise from hell itself or from your heart aflame with hate. When then the two swords set to fall on them, cutting flesh, amputating limbs and beheading heads.
The city of Khaldheim would be an example to everyone. The fire flickered in the burning houses, like huge insatiable demons wanting to feed on more and more, turning the once majestic houses to ashes. Like the flames, his swords were not content with the pile of dismembered bodies left in his path, like a scarlet wind, he continued to claim lives and as he did, he laughed with delight, for few things gave him more pleasure than wanton killing. His laughter echoed through the air, chilling the blood of those who were still alive even more, announcing that it wouldn't be for long.

Sanseverino's tomb in the Cathedral, Trento, Italy.
Enemy of the Trento episcopal principality, Roberto Sanseverino was the warlord of the Venetian troops against Tirolers guided by Sigismund of Habsburg. In the Battle of Calliano (1487), he was wounded, fell into the river and drowned. His body was recovered, brought to Trento and buried in a solemn funeral in the cathedral crypt.
CROSSVIEW

Britain has a thriving wargames hobby scene [table-top model soldiers] and also a thriving historical re-enactment scene. Indeed some wargamers are also re-enactors and visa-versa. Salute, at Excel London in April, is one of our biggest wargames events and attracts several guest re-enactment groups every year.
Unfortunately... this year there was only one re-enactment group present and it caused a great deal of offence. The British-run Second Battle Group of the Waffen SS which displays the divisional badge of the Ist SS Liebstandarte Adolph Hitler.
The first I knew was when I drove into the building to join my own group for table-top medieval wargaming to find two Waffen SS troopers in full regalia, swaggering around the vehicle entrance with slung machine pistols.
Their group had a prime spot in the middle of the hall and had an armoured vehicle, an ambulance, at least two jeeps, several motorcycles, numerous machine guns, a 20mm Flak gun, a 37mm anti-tank gun, a bazooka and a flame thrower. The weapons of course were all de-activated.
About 25 personnel included wives and girlfriends dressed as SS female auxiliaries, a nurse, and a group of children dressed in Hitler Youth uniforms. A female Hitler Youth girl had a real baby in a small pram. There was also a recreated Hitler Youth bedroom full of genuine [and I am sure highly collectable] Nazi memorabilia. I think it was the Hitler Youth aspect which was the greatest shock as no attempt was made to interpret or explain the display. There was not a single display about the consequences of Nazism.
Circling their stand several times I spotted mugs for sale including one [ www.flickr.com/photos/barryslemmings/535878762/ ] celebrating the British Freicorps, the 50 of so Britons who fought for the Waffen SS and another mug I was not allowed to photograph which read: "1932 to 1992 - British Union Still Going Strong". The only British Union formed in 1932 was the British Union of Fascists. Why was this group selling these mugs in the first place? All of the mugs later disappeared back into boxes following complaints.
Salute is organised by the South London Warlords, a group of lovely fluffy British wargamers without a political bone in their body.
Following numerous complaints they issued the following apology which can be found in the June 2007 edition of Miniature Wargames, page 20: "The Committee of the South London Warlords wishes to apologise unreservedly for any offence caused by their choice of a display by German World War 2 re-enactors for Salute 07.
"We failed to provide a clear specification of what we were expecting from the re-enactors and given that we had seen them at other shows, were ourselves dismayed by certain elements of what they provided. Parts of this display were definitely not what we expected.
"However, while steps were taken to address certain issues raised, we accept that our attempts to put things right on the day were clearly inadequate.
"Please rest assured that we did not intend to cause any offence to anyone and will do our best to ensure that a mistake like this does not happen again."
To be fair to the Warlords the mugs for sale WERE removed following our complaints and to be fair it is a little difficult to ask a group in the centre of a public event to remove themselves when they had so many vehicles. It would have been a health and safety nightmare.

Yet another figure, I know! I'm really liking the new photography techniques I'm using, I don't know about you guys, but I think this looks really cool! I will be able to build Lego soon, but I think there will be less posting when school starts up for me in 5 weeks.

Excerpt from miyajima.or.jp/english/spot/spot_other.html:
Designated as a National Important Cultural Property on August 29, 1910
Hokoku Shrine is dedicated to the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi (one of the three unifiers of Japan in the 16th century) and his loyal aid Kato Kiyomasa. The reason for building this structure is clearly stated in a letter by Ankokuji Ekei, head monk of Ankokuji Temple. In 1587, Ekei asked Daiganji Temple, the temple in charge of construction and repair work in Miyajima including Itsukushima Shrine, to build a Buddhist library in which the chanting of Senbu-kyo sutras could be held every month. As there is no board ceiling or outer gate, it is believed that the construction of the building was not completed.
Originally, Amida Buddha and two subordinate Buddhist saints, Anan and Kasho-sonja, were enshrined in the Buddhist altar until the early Meiji era. Since that time, however, the altar has been used in Shinto rituals.
The building is called Senjokaku (Hall of One Thousand Tatami Mats), reflecting its standing as the largest structure on Miyajima Island. The shrine was a popular landmark in Miyajima where many people came to relax and cool themselves and to buy popular souvenirs such as tooth picks, and a variety of legends and traditions have been created here.
The fact that this structure, unique among the buildings belonging to Itsukushima Shrine, is unpainted and that its exact date of founding is recorded makes it a valuable gauge of the passage of time. The traces of weathering on its pillars and floor boards can be used to determine the approximate age of any other wooden structure on Miyajima.
A piece of wood used as a measuring device in the reconstruction work of the O-Torii in 1873 hangs on a pillar under the floor of the south part of the shrine. Countless votive picture tablets that had been hanging on the walls of Itsukushima Shrine buildings until the mid Meiji era decorate the walls inside the hall.
The shrine did not yet exist at the time of the Battle of Itsukushima in 1555 when the Mori clan defeated the Sue clan to unify the Chugoku region. The headquarters of the Sue clan was located on this hill, which was then called To-no-oka (Pagoda Hill). Starting in the Meiji era, the hill was developed through the establishment of stone steps, among other additions.
Warlord flight of a single RAF Typhoon this afternoon. I was very low and with very little warning as they came round the corner I just managed to get it. "Warlord" is a callsign used by the 29(R) Squadron, a training squadron of Eurofighter Typhoons based at RAF Coningsby. "Warlord" flights involve Typhoon aircraft from this squadron undertaking various exercises, from training to display duties and Quick Reaction Alert (QRA). The callsign is assigned to the squadron for its regular operations. #raftyphoon #wales #machloop #rafconingsby #royalairforce
At long last, after being shrouded in darkness for eons, Proctor Scorpio returns!
I would add more story to this but since essentially nobody cares these days ii'm going to leave that bit out. What is more important is this; I've struggled a lot last year and because of that it's been a terribly slow year for moccing for me. I'm hoping to be more active in 2018.
Lastly; apologies for the decrease in picture quality. Some asshole smashed my "good"camera on NYE so I had to resort to my mobile phone for this one.
Don't you struggle, don't try to bite
If you want some trouble, I'm the king of fights
I'm a wrecking ball, I'm a stinging knife
Steal your money, gonna take your life
You got screaming murder, lock up your door
Double dealing, got to have more
Call me dirty, trash my name
Just tell the boys that I'm gonna be ...
Back in business again.

Got my new lens today, Crybaby told me he thought it was ...
"Groovy?" I think he's turning into a beatnik, or flower-child, or something. (I hope he doesn't lose that eye).
I haven't changed almost anything on this build since I last posted him, I'm still really satisfied with the way he looks. Just wanted to post some new pics (the old ones sucked lol)
