(Painting) Statue of St Crastin for Gnome Wars

 The topic of Gnomish Wanderlust has been discussed ad nauseum amongst the Gnomish Intellectuals.   The cycle of exploration, establishment, and partial retraction of the citizenry has expanded Gnomekind across the world.

But what if a Gnome specifically resists the call of the Wanderlust?  You can thank a brave Gnome named Crastin.  

It's unsure whether Crastin was disposed to a certain immunity to the Wanderlust, or he luckily never sucumbed to it, but it was believed to have originated the cult the intentionally fought the urges to remain within Swiss territory. 

The followers of Crastin have been known to prevent gnomes from leaving towns at the height of an exodus, including terroristic acts like blowing up tunnels and bridges.


While most Gnomes are anti-Crastin, the Pro-Crastinators today achieve very little by not expanding their horizons.

I've gotten a wide variety of gnome-related gifts over the years.  A few of them have been gnome gardens, and todays statue is simply a gnome included in the garden set, as well as a flipped over birth bath. 

PROJECT: 350  - 457 (306/151) down  from 460  (305/155).  It boils down to two obvious and important topics in a backlog:  Eight Star Wars Campaign write-ups and an utter lack of gaming.  Slowly getting those rectified, but a year ago this was my great painting push, and I'm afraid it's been hard getting back into the swing of things with this extended miniatures hiatus.

Next: And a new paint scheme for the next Hultr Half-Track for the Gnomish Space Marines.
