Exactamundo. (At least the cat doesn't have clinkers/dags to colour in). Also, I bet she calls the count 'poppet' out of earshot (which is also another name for a Voodoo doll)

That's disturbing. My wife and I call our daughter poppet.
Though we also call her Stink, so maybe it's no biggy.

I've always known poppet to just be a little doll, not specifically having arcane connotations (although sometimes also used for witchy things along with moment). It's definitely a term of endearment around here.

Yep, an endearing term, my missus calls me it sarcastically
But 'poppet' origins are witchcraft dolls I believe (for spells, magical supplication etc). Her family are from a village by Pendle hill, East Lancs so she should know..

Got to be wary of that Pendle lot 🤣 I've never known mommet (curse the auto correct in my earlier post) not to have witchy connotations, unlike poppet that can be both mundane or arcane.Yep, an endearing term, my missus calls me it sarcastically

I'll have 10 days when I get back home to do something for this challenge. Should be plenty. Only problem is, trying to rummage through the leadpile in my head without actually seeing it, I don't have a very strong concept of what I want to paint. To be fair, I think several of my forces are lacking an obvious 'leader' type so it shouldn't be too difficult...
