Painted figures...

Well sir, you can actually get a pretty bad sunburn while skiing or snowboarding or any other outdoor winter activity.:

The reason people are 'pale' in the winter months is they are covered up and generally indoors. In fact historically, it was sign of wealth and privilege to NOT have a suntan. Having a suntan meant you were poor and forced to work outdoors most of your life, something the Noble Ladies of yore never needed to do. As a result they all had the pale Alabaster skin we hear about the ladies having and why the white face power (especially of the french court) was so important.

Later into the late 1800's early 1900's with the industrial revolution and people moving from an outdoor work environment to indoors to work in the factories (and thus out of the sun) wealth meant the ability to travel to places like the French Riviera, and the Caribbean a tan was a sign of wealth as it meant you have the free time and the means to span your time NOT work indoors and spend your luxury time outdoors.

That aside, the Norse mean would be Tan as they spent their time outdoors and in the sun, even in the winter

You know, I had such fun posting up the pics of the Norse team I painted, I thought I would share some of my actual teams (as in teams that I myself field and am coach of).

My First Team for leagues Fall of 2009, Season 7 was the Lizardman team: LICCALOTTAPUS



The Kroxigor was named BARNEY and has the Phrase "I LOVE YOU" painted on the bone spike he carries

The following Season 8 saw me field the Khemri team LOOT'N'ROB'EM



In Season 9 I played the Human Team: SISTERS OF NO MERCY



and in the current season, it is a Dark Elf Team: LIPSTICK & LEATHER

I'm still painting this team, so I will post it up once I finish two figs.

Great stuff. I like the sisters of no mercy - excellent. I bet those girls have got a nasty habit of winning...

Sadly, no they had a nasty habit of getting killed by my opponents. And not Just Killed, but Hit, Casualty, Death, Apothecary and Death again

Worst luck with them of any team I played.

I stand (more accurately sit) corrected.

LICCALOTTAPUS - Love it!

Nice job on the rest of these as well.

I painted minis years ago, but I was never on a level with you guys. Those are awesome, especially the norse and lizardman teams.
