L to R: Brother Godot holding the Rod of Asclepius, Brother Guildenstern with the Holy Grail, Brother Karamazov holding aloft the Rose Croix and Brother Rosencrantz with the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
Yes, of course! The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch! 'Tis one of the sacred relics Brother Maynard carries with him. Brother Maynard! Bring up the Holy Hand Grenade!
MONKS: (chanting)
Pie Iesu domine, dona eis requiem
Pie Iesu domine, dona eis requiem. Pie Iesu domine, dona eis requiem. Pie Iesu domine, dona eis requiem
ARTHUR:
How does it, um-- how does it work?
LANCELOT:
I know not, my liege
ARTHUR:
Consult the Book of Armaments!
BROTHER MAYNARD:
Armaments, chapter two, verses nine to twenty-one
SECOND BROTHER:
And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy."
And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu--
MAYNARD:
Skip a bit, Brother
SECOND BROTHER:
And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."

Great additions Martin, and it wouldn't be complete without the holy hand grenade ! LOL
Some more nice monks, I noticed you have stoped painting in the eyes, is that a decision?
The Holy Grenade of Antioch should come in handy.
Lovely job, sir! Which make are they?
Thanks, AJ. The one on the left is Friar Tuck from Trent Miniatures. I have no idea about the other three, just found them in my drawer of figures to paint (a very big drawer!).
Yes, I'm not painting eyes on any of my new stuff at the moment. It speeds up the process no end!
Thanks Dave. I expect the players in the game will be trying to get hold of the Holy Hand Grenade to blow the other side up!
The holey hand grenade I think that is as famous as the holey grail lol fine bit of painting & as I've said before I love the little backround stories :)
And there I was thinking it was something to do with the eyes of March!! Ides bet you go back to painting them again in April.
Keep em coming. Enjoying this. ;-)
Cheers, Frank.
Glad you are enjoying this, plenty more to come!
