| Never thought it would happen but it has. Getting a warband together this morning for league play, I left them alone for mere moments and when I returned some were gone.
Okay maybe the dog knocked them onto to the floor.
Nope, nadda.
No need to panic a zeph warrior or 2 and a elf pyro. "I'll find 'em", I told myself.
Well time passes and I go do my "duty" of picking up after the dog later in the backyard.
Hence I have found what happened to my Elf Pyro, eeewwww! I feel Lab's pain of his cat eating his storm giant but geez I never expected this.

Kinda funny!?
Sorry Krush, maybe the pain is still too fresh. Trust me, If that happened to me I'm sure I wouldn't find it too funny either. But reading it...the images do make me laugh.
Just one of the many reason why I don't own pets...Just think if I ever did get a Ferret, which I love so much! It'd be dead within a week! [)] | |

| I can only imagine the amount of suck you must be enduring. I have tried very hard to get an Elf Pyro with my limited budget. (its probably my most wanted figure from past sets)
If I lost one to a dog, it would be a bad day to be a dog. Not really, but man that would suck. | |

Aw man, a little fecal matter should have cleaned right up....no reason to dump the dump so to speak... (now had he munched a Wrackspawn you would probably have never even noticed it...would blend in in more ways than one.) | |

| Wait until the dog goes to poo!
In three or four times you´ll get your mini with a nice smell.
Worry about if the dog don´t throw it away, could be dangerous to him. Take him to the vet. | |

I'm cheap enough that I think I would have cleaned it off and kept it--assuming the mini was otherwise in "OK" shape. Soaking the Elf Pyro in bleach for a few weeks probably wouldn't hurt the mini any...

Well I never even considered toying with the idea of cleaning it. I would have never felt right using it in skirmmish. Nope sorry better left untouch. Ugh...... | |

| Naw.
You don't skirmish with it--you trade it. [}:)] After having thoroughly cleaned it--I'm not a complete *******.
One man's dog-poo is another man's prized Elf Pyro...
Yeah, I know: There is a special place in Hell waiting for me right next to virus-writers, copyright-pirates et al.
Seriously, though. A little bleach to kill any nasties and followed up with a good high-powered rinsing from the garden hose and then some quality time with a good anti-bacterial soap and warm water. And then your Elf Pryo would be good as new--Almost.
Who knows--You could have just passed on the opportunity to discover the "missing link" for stripping PVC minis! Dog Poo! [)]

Try that link. Takes you straight to the Chainmail equiv (for only 6.95 + shipping). If you're diligent in searching there are several Ravilla faction boxes floating around online for less than $10. You can even order them brand new for $22 (gotta love Amazon). That's better than the $80 buy it now on ebay for the plastic pyro [:o] | |

| This could add a whole new dynamic to skirmish...
Player 1: Are you sure you want your FB to base my Elf Pyro?
Player 2: Ummm....yeah, why?
Player 1: I didn't really clean it off all that well after "the incident." That's why I wear gloves when I play.
Player 2: I just thought you had a cleanliness fetish....
Player 1: Nope. My dog routinely eats and poops my minis.....

| As someone who has picked up thousands of pounds of dog poop in the yard...had one of them as a puppy vomit on my pillow at 3:00 am...and any # of other disgusting experiences, I can truthfully say that I would have cleaned it off and kept using it. It's just poo.
My dogs are just a destructive as any, and you have to really watch labs...they are notoriously destructive...the white one is part lab. They know to leave 'daddies' minis alone, but I never leave them out in the open unattended...not even for 30 seconds. Dogs like people always want what they can't or shouldn't have. | | | |

Did the stomach acid strip off the paint without harming the mini's detail? Some of us at the crafter's corner still looking for a safe way to strip off paint [:p]
I don't mean to make fun of your calamity, it is somewhat funny and you should get even with the dog somehow...
Oh yeah, and my question has a serious legit interest.
