Impressive! You had them ready waiting for their badges? Or you really work fast?
Oh! And, what's that weapon? some kind of Bengal star?

and Arnaud, I dont know what a 'Bengal Star' is but its supposed to be used like those 'Bolas' thrown by those (Argentinian?) cowboys....could be just for movies...never seen any relics or records about them :P

they sure look like a fearsome bunch.  :) I love what you did with their weaponry, especially the spears.

I think he means the weapon the guy has who is next to the one with the bola-looking chain weapon. It looks like a spiky fan or something.

Exactly! I saw this weapon in a James Bond movie.  Can't tell which, though it was with Sean Connery or Roger Moore. We called it a Bengal star when we were kids, but when I google Bengal star, I only find restaurants and fireworks!  :lol:   :lol:

I vaguely remember....was it wielded by a huge baldheaded Asian?
