They seem truly alien: Tolkien's classic elves (and their relatives from the Warhammer world) certainly have very different values from humans, but ultimately they are understandable to us (human) readers / players. The space elves are aliens, in the sense of totally different from the humans of RT (and from us), because they act according to logic incomprehensible to us. A bit like dealing with the psychology of a wild animal, which can do you no harm or tear you apart ...<br />- Over and out.Rodorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792645011290022106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-65111373552907114652022-07-14T12:02:34.819-07:002022-07-14T12:02:34.819-07:00Thanks Michal!Thanks Michal!matthewjksullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126108200355039621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-49046777379287178522022-07-14T12:02:20.334-07:002022-07-14T12:02:20.334-07:00The cost of modern miniatures still knocks my sock...The cost of modern miniatures still knocks my socks off.
