A Most Heinous Crime!

Some of you may have heard already, but on wednesday night Kev "Goblinmaster" Adams was brutally attacked and robbed in his home by masked intruders. Here is the news story. Kev was stabbed in the face and chest and had his nose and cheekbone broken by a knuckle-duster. Apparently he has been let out of hospital already, although he has to go back for facial surgery later.

Two of Kev's old orc sculpt for Citadel Miniatures, both from the Blood Bath at Orc's Drift scenario pack.

Now any violent crime is horrid and when a home intrusion occurs it can also cause psychic trauma as you are attacked where you ought to feel the most safest. What is doubly horrid about this crime though is that if Kev had seriously injured his eyes or hands he wouldn't be able to sculpt, depriving him also of his livelyhood. Luckily Kev is a tough old boot and plans on continue working as soon as possible.

A facebook support group called GoblinAid has been set up, with lots of hobbyists and industry folk offering their sympathy. Some sort of raffle is planned, but nothing is decided yet. Meanwhile Kev has left this message for his fans and friends on facebook.

Thanks for caring , ive had loads of suport wich is great , i'm not on favebook and cant see poperlt so typings bad 
I got three masked idiots in hoods with faces covered who got in my house when i was up here and cornered me in my loft , i got a knife pressed into my face and one of them kept hitting me in face hard with knuckleduster so all my cheekbones are smashed to bits and i look like elephant man , nose is broke in three places and one teeth broken and i cant eat so am having to drink gren goblin juice LOL , they wanted weed and money and jewellery but they had got the wrong house and i wouldnt entertain them and stood up to them hence the injuries so they gave up and made off with my imac .
the slags did similar to an 80 year old lady and tried to suffocate her with plastic bag . last night according to police they did two more raids and hurt people ,
they are being charged with attempted murder on me because my injuries are so severe and of course aggravated burglary but they need to catch them first .
i'm more annoyed at how traumatised my family are and they said they will kill me if police are called but none of them scared me as they all had faces covered up and are little cowards .
if they turn up i'm ready for them and will smash them with my cricket bat because they are nothing as i was caught off guard .
i didnt fight them in close confines of loft because i have a family to care for and in close quarters could have been fatally stabbed and its not worth getting killed over an imac .
Ive got to dash as my partner needs me nearby but will be back working as soon as i can see again .
dont worry i'm a tough old bird and wont be beaten by a bunch of mugs .
you can post this on facebook if you like so everyone knows what happened .
ive got to have a load of metal plates in my face so will get rid of my wrinklelsLLOL
