Wildcard month
Get off my lawn yer pesky greenskins.
The orc scouts were repelled without too much trouble. However, the column down the valley was visible from the mine. Even "Dopey" in his berserker rage won't stop that wave and everyone started to get worried.
An entire troop of orcs was coming for our treasures!
“Doc”: Hey, listen up. I had an idea, remember the old boiler that Oin was going to fix years ago but was procrastinating?
Oin “Sleepy”: I was working on it again! Just, not getting in the mood as of late…
“Doc”: Well, fortunately those old pipes can be handy with a bit of oil. We also had some extra guns from that time that Harald got into the entrepreneurship trend thing and his failed gun company..
“Angry”: Not my bad, it is pretty easy to hand the order paper in the wrong way and read a 9 instead of a 6. Everyone can end forging 99 cannons instead of 6!... And remember that the company bankrupted only after that visit to the gunpowder warehouse with Sneezy responsible of the lamp!
Bronn: It seems that we will be saved by cannibalizing on the left overs of the most iconic and shameful group of roomates.
“Angry”: Hey, you should be called “mr. smartpants” rather than “happy”.
“Doc”: Calm down guys. No problem at all! The more the guns, the merrier. The idea I had in mind can benefit pretty well of handling the fire to Sneezy as well. Come here, let me show you…

The orc company approached the mineshaft from all the sides. The main group from the front, and a second group of arrer boys getting to the flanks in a display of cunnin’ ad sneaky planning.
Boss: Oi! Boys, prepare to charge now! They are few and they’re just ahead! They’ll be no match to us this time!
*KABOOM*
Orc: Boss! I think that our offensive is having some trouples advancing! The stunties are fortified and ‘ve sum pretty loud contraption in the gate.
Boss: WHERE ARE MY ARRER COMMANDOS! Shoot’em from the flank!
*FWOOOSH*
Orc: Boss! I.. Ithink that the arrer boys have some situation ongoing and won’t be supporting the main assault!
Boss: Then press harder, how many times do you think that they can shoot with a single cannon until we smack ‘em in the ‘ead!
*sneeze*
*KA-KA-KABOOM*
Boss: Urk, come’re. You’re now provisionally in command. I will be checking the rear! Keep attacking ma boyz!
This month I didn’t had much time, so I played safe.
I made the mineshaft for the seven dwarves. Initially it has going to be much more detailed, with an ornated stone in the arch. But I didn’t cover the foam properly and accidentally dissolved the details (and the interior) with the primer. Ouch!
Finally, I painted my organ gun. For a long time, I have been making proxies and procrastinating or passing something else in the queue despite wanting to have it painted. It was about time.
“Sneezy” controls the trigger.
While “Happy” marks the enemies that shall be doomed.
I was going to make the trigger-happy joke with the previous dwarf but I think that this guy embodies him better. Look at his face, that grin, he’s having a fun time.
“Angry” comes from a newer era, but I do not have the original crew and the one that was in the loot is from the goblobber so he fits better in a cannon or the catapult.
Maybe in the future I’ll change this guy with the original crew mate in heavy armour. I claim the organ gun – 65 points
See you in the next post.
Adrian’s out.
