This one has an interesting story. I made this to enter for a painting contest at the Chicago Battle bunker. Tim "his last name escapes me right now" was the "chief painter" and had had some stuff in various GW codicies and was a pretty damn good painter. We also liked to play the odd joke on each other. Anyway, I put this together based on the ltd ed Valten model. Valten. About the same time as this contest, there was a drug commercial on TV for a drug called Valtrex. For the suppression of herpies. Valten. Valtrex. So, me being me, I put this model together and named it Valtrex the Suppressor, for Occaisional Flare-Ups of Harpies. Harpies. Herpies. This damn commercial was on -all- the time. All the time. So, day to announce the contest winners. I couldn't make it, but as the story is told to me, Tim gets up there and says into the microphone (yes they had a microphone, no idea why, it was in the bunker). "And in third place for Warhammer Fantasy multiple models DJ Law with his Valtrex the Suppressor, for Occaisional Flare-Up of Harpies." And then, when the room stayed quiet, he realized what he had said. Several dads were laughing.
