Does anybody in these forums own a LOTR SBG figurine so I can be informed of the diameter of the base?

I own many :) 25mm (but obviously they are circular). Cavalry are 40mm if I recall correctly, and the stuff like Mordor Trolls are 60mm.

What's the reason, may I ask ?

He's obviously planning to make cheap fakes and sell them for an "amazing discout" on ebay. :)

Well, I was trying to make my own to play with friends since I didn't find no single miniature to be sold in this god-forsaken country

Well, it's kind of what Midnight_Carnival said, but I won't be selling them, it would be ilegal :?

And thanks a lot Aura!

Similar to what I used to do with Heroscape and Sculpey. :P The less said about that, the better (my sculpey-modeling skills were and still are worse than my 3D modeling skills).

Yet another thing that I need answered:

If you were hit by a whip, would it cause "slashing" or "piercing" damage?

I'd usually use blade damage.

Definitely slashing. Piercing is more like arrows and fencing tip swords. I'd say it shouldn't be blade damage because there's no metal edges.

Really? I guess we have different whips then... Where did you buy yours? Because mine has a metal tip.

Most of the whip attacks I've seen have been blade attacks. A few had impact damage, but IMO blade is better suited for a whip. I'd definitely give pierce a thumbs-down, since you'd find it rather hard to pierce anyone (or anything) with a whip, even if it does have a metal tip.

Alright, but should a whip attack count as a meelee one of a ranged one?

Melee with first strike, I'd say.
It's spelled "definitely", not "definately". "Defiantly" is a different word entirely.

Very well, I need to ask yet another thing...

How can I convert a png into an icon? I recently downloaded Super Mario Bros. Crossover and I'd like to set an icon to the program

Do I need to post the png here?
