London, 1688.
Every
Saturday night in fine houses members of High Society would meet to
party the night away at Balls and Galas. The biggest and most opulent
was that of Sir Cloudsy Butterworth, 2nd Earl of Knightsbridge and his
good lady wife Winifred.
It
was at one such party not long ago that the two most roughest villains
and vagabonds stole poor Sir Cloudsy's fine collection of Moorish
weaponry, that he picked up while he served as Vice Governor to Percy
Kirke in Tangier. The collection was said to be worth thousands.
Quite how the two villains managed to relieve Sir Cloudsy of his treasure is not known.
But who are these two villains??
Recently
Terrence Campbell and his good lady wife Denise have moved to London
from Cornwall, where they apparently made their fortune in Copper and
Tin mining. They have been invited to all of the recent and forthcoming
social events in good ol' London town..........but all is not as it
seems. For Denise and Terrence are infact the Thieves!!
It was them who stole Sir Cloudsy's treasure, it is them who pray on the filthy rich, whom they befriend then steal from.
For
they are not really Mr and Mrs Campbell, they are infact England's two
most wanted criminals and have been sentenced to hang as soon as they
are caught for previous crimes.
May
I present the rouges of the fleapit of London and the masters of
disguise..................................Dee Fensiff & Terry Ain!
Like
most of this years bonus rounds, I hadn't a clue what to paint up for
the Defensive Terrain bonus round. I did email Curt, (like most others)
who said "use your imagination". So I did!! The figures are from Ainsty
Castings, from their Three Musketeer range.
That made me laugh out loud Ray. :-)
