Yes.  A looong while back as in 2001.  The original Averlanders won Best Army at the Seattle GT in 2001 and had a few shots in US White Dwarf.  Mario (Cippolini) was made as a messenger for scenarios at the GT.  People dug it and it started the whole Euro Bike Racer thing with my Empire armies.

Wow, that was way back. I was in High School! Well, like all your stuff, it is fantastic.

It's an old empire metal cannon from GW, 4th/5th edition.

And with an awesome paintjob, like everything else! :eusa_clap:

MArio is one of the coolest cats I´ve seen! Make sure he doesn´t get snuffed.  :happy:

They still reek of horse shit though, like all Averlanders...  :dry:

In the mid 80's Thrud was a comic strip page in White Dwarf magazine.  The comics out a few years ago are re-drawn strips by the original artist Carl Critchlow.

I included the Thrud in this post as an objective marker for the Seattle GT in 2001.  After that, I started making a point to include Thrud in some form in all of my subsequent armies; Orcs, Dark Elves, Ogre DOW, Cult of Ulric, and Cult of Slaanesh. 

I'll get the rest of the Thruds posted eventually.  I have a few more Thrud ideas that need to be created as well.....
