For those of you not intimately familiar with the Capitalist religion, Halloween is the fourth and most exalted of the "candy" holidays in the Capitalist annual calendar ( Valentines Day, Mother's Day and Easter included ). These are seasonal marketing spikes created to aid and abet the confection industry specifically. Coincidentally it has some characteristics of various societal rituals honoring and or appeasing the dead, and or other forces of the darkness, prevalent in the autumn and winter timeframe. My contribution this year is this sinister looking warlock ( least ways might have been if the costume wasn't Dacron. Sort of loses some of the period spirit; in polyester...) Wonder what would happen if I drove to work in this rig monday? Enough of this. Time to get another beer and back to football. Boo y'all....

Well you're definitely in the spirit of Halloween with all those severed heads behind you.

Well you're definitely in the spirit of Halloween with all those severed heads behind you. . From different time periods too. And pretty well-read judging by that bookcase. So a well-read time-traveling warlock-assassin using a sword? Quite scary methinks.

Either that or he is just very long-lived....and has mastered the art of pickling. This also allows the decor to serve as nice crunchy snacks should he desire

Is that a malatesta Dave? If so even the name fits... the look definitely does. Hang on.... I'm sure the secret high priest of the capitalist religion (chief exhortations officer) is reputed to wear red dacron, polyester having symbolic power to capitalists. You don't think.... Dave?

Did you mean chief exhortations officer or chief extortions officer?

Nice work Dave...look a little like a red ringwraith (sp?) from LOTR. Landgraf?

Did you mean chief exhortations officer or chief extortions officer? I can see Dave more as the exhortations and invocations kind of guy rather than getting all extortionate, but come to think of it who knows how many shopkeepers with flammable produce have had to cough up the dough at a pipeback's point? It's one hell of a weapons collection....

Don't know what's with you folks and my manikins; you're like Portuguese sailors with dead bodies.... (LOL)
The habit is from MRL. The sword is the Albion Landgraf. The scabbard is from Sunny Suttles Type XV Crecy. I thought I had a suitable sword belt. Don't. Was too late to order one.

You look like little Red Ridinghood Steven King style.

The wolf better watch out for this one. Should have gotten the DSA Wolfsbane to go with the theme

Hang on though... Stephen King's idea of a wolf you'd need a landgraf (drool, incidently) or a wolfsbane to tackle is not a beast I'd care to find in my granny's bed. Maybe Dave has a silver plated sabre knocking around that he could use 'cos I'm sure it would be a wolf of the were- variety. Grandma! What a big zwei-hander you have! No. That sounds all sorts of wrong.

Probably why many antique Viking-era/post-Viking-era blades were inlayed with silver :)
