The other two members of the biker trio were Torch ('Tom Winkin', weapon of choice: flamethrower) and Buzzer (Richard Blinken-Smythe, weapon of choice: chainsaw and Oxbridge education).<br /><br />So yes, in addition to Blinken, Winkin and Nod as surnames, their forenames were Tom, Dick and Harry...<br /><br />It was indeed a more innocent age, when violent sociopaths provided comic relief from international terrorists, who were themselves the natural villains for 8 year-olds.Stylushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01706888762838294158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478409880372473832.post-80960763218505232602013-06-18T09:55:07.903+01:002013-06-18T09:55:07.903+01:00I used to own one of the Dreadnoks, the one whose ...I used to own one of the Dreadnoks, the one whose weapon of choice was a pneumatic drill. It was a younger, more innocent age. <br /><br />I'm surprised too. I'm actually at risk of having, for the first time in my entire life, a fully painted GW boxed game. I never achieved that before.

Joe biker antagonists, the Dreadnoks.<br /><br />Well done on finishing off Thorin's company, although the speed of progress baffles me - I though impulse buys were supposed to sit in the corner, gathering dust for years, until guilt and a renewed desire to clear the painting list put them in rotation.<br /><br />To buy something at Christmas and then steadily paint it right away is a new phenomenon - but I suppose you want to get them all done so you can get started on the Evangeline Lilly Battle Set (with extra Warg Riders!) next year?Stylushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01706888762838294158noreply@blogger.com
