With Argonor's Attic Attack comming up this weekend - Something that honestly took me a bit by surprise, since I thought I had another week to prepare ::) - I find myself needing a warband, with my necromancers group not being remotely close to done. Those guys take an age to paint.
Good thing I have all that stuff I use for Song of Blades and Heroes. While it might be a smaller scale (25mm, or "old citadel"), there ought to be enough miniatures painted in my collection to make up a warband. To the storage I go.
and this is what I came up with:

Though they only number 9, they'll have to do: I wanted to have a variety of the specialists from the get go, because of the "coolness" factor.
The fodder:

These are the fodder division, there to provide numbers and be disposable. And also lug around treasure.
They are a Thief, for the speed, two thugs, and a warhound. I've always liked having dogs in my warhound, so there was no way that I'd leave one out of this group.
The 'Core':

My wizard, a Treasure Hunter and a Templar. I find that the Treasure Hunters fast move, high Attack and lightly armoured nature makes it a very good candidate for being represented by an elf. And I really like this wardancer miniature. Likewise with the Templar - He is slow and tough; the perfect dwarf.
The wizard will propably be an Illusionist. That, or a sigilist. I haven't entirely decided.
The unfinished:

These are the last two guys that I need to finish - Which should be manageable, seeing as they are both under way. An Apprentice and an Archer (maybe ranger later?).
And thats about it. I'll of course post some more pictures (better) when I finish painting the last two guys :)
Looking forward to trying out the game.

Looks good. I like your representation of the treasure hunter with an old school Wardancer. Those are some of my favorite sculpts.

That is a pretty nice-looking warband. Good to see some old Citadel and some Metal Magic figures gearing up for action. Good luck this weekend!

Wonderful selection of figures.
Pre slotta/true 28mm figures are my favourites for any rpg or skirmish gaming. They have an individuality and inherent character that is lost in the over sized and over detailed models produced since.

Agreed. It's like the difference between the old D&D artwork as compared to modern fantasy artwork. There's a certain aura of wonder in the older models and artwork.

This was always one of my favorite sets more of 25mm than heroic scale but should fit in well with your warband

They're so cool. I like the dwarf with stripe on his helmet. And the thief is really...Sneaky.
