Well Rod I hope you’re not infringing any copyright issues with the good folks at Peter Pig!
My fave has to be Janner’s ‘The Rifles’ badge. Both who he is and what we’re interested in. When I look at the Waterloo 200 site to look up the Waterloo Medal roll, half the regiments my ancestors (or at least same name tribe!) were in are all listed as ’69th Foot…then incorporated in the 32nd Foot and Mouth…then incorporated into the Royal Berkshire and Gloucester traffic wardens’…..etc etc, son on and so on, but they all seem to finish:
….now incorporated in ‘The Rifles’ !
These guys are like the Borg!

Slowly Over A Low FlameRhoderic, is there a story behind your avatar? Is it a character from sci fi I’m unfamiliar with or is he a mini of yours? He’s incredibly impressive while at the same time seeming very approachable and friendly. cool. Its reached the point that if I ever met you in real life I’d expect you to be 7 foot and look exactly like that chap
Back when Rattrap Productions (makers of .45 Adventure, Broadsword Adventure, Gloire and Fantastic Worlds) were still in full gear a few years ago I was a fairly active poster in their forum. We were a small core group of fans who played “play by forum” narrative scenarios wherein participants would submit their characters as photos of miniatures they had painted themselves, along with background stories. Many of us would paint new figures expressly for that purpose. The blue chap is Baron Altair, my antihero (or ambivalent villain) in two scenarios for Fantastic Worlds. He’s an ascetic alien-nobleman-gone-rogue on a single-minded quest to construct a functioning black hole generator for reasons which I still refuse to make clear (largely because I never got that far with his background). He also had a henchman, a primitive Lizardman named Tep-Tep. Come to think of it, the original (terrible) photo is still up in my LAF user gallery. The figure is just a bodge-job conversion of one of the Bronze Age Miniatures generics. There was talk of having an official Baron Altair sculpted (not by me) for Rattrap Productions, and I was supposed to participate in a joint creative effort by the Rattrap community to write a new supplement for Fantastic Worlds, but to my shame I absconded (from the miniature gaming community as a whole, for a while) as I went into one of my non-hobby phases.
I’m not terribly attached to this avatar, to be honest. I’m sure I’ll change it at some point. I do generally prefer using my own painted miniatures as avatars in miniature gaming forums, though.
I’m not seven foot tall, nor hairless, nor blue, nor do I scowl menacingly very much

Oh Roderic, you disappoint us…
And War Panda – thank you! One tries.
I never was cool!
Mate, for what its worth I really dig your avatar – well Salty!
(Or ‘Warry’ or whatever Canuck tankers say to express approval of something seamanlike!) (I guess if they’re Newfies it don’t matter as no-one can make out what they’re saying anyway!)
