Thanks hubba 👍🏼

Not less militia….more!

Repurposed/repainted a unit to fill out the White shield militia just need a unit of archers (on the paint station as we speak)
And that along with our as yet unnamed exiled hero (afoot and a horse) should technically be a fighting force.
The idea is not huge mass battles gloriously re-enacted on sumptuous 8x4 tables (only a lottery win away 🤔😆) but rather the small parts there of…the tiny vignettes where one man spots a fault in the line, a gap in the wall, a weakness in the enemy formation and cries ‘You there…every second man with me!!! You want to live forever you apes?’
 And taking a handful of men storms a breach, moments in the much larger scenario of a battle, siege , raid or ambush etc that may go completely unrecorded.
And would love to work in some asymmetry…heroic deeds are not done when two groups of thirty men stand on either side of a golf course and just charge into each other…
No it is the few against many that are remembered….
‘we’ll all hide here and jump them when they bunch up to get over the bridge…’ or…
‘look there’s loads of us let’s just sneak down there and kill them before they wake up? Then we can tell the bards whatever we want?’
Heros to man 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤣
Cheers all

Well, those all look just great! The kit bashing and painting is great, and I love your vision for each force.

I’ve often wondered how the goblin riders would work with those wolves and they look great.  Thanks for sharing.

Argonor killshot and grumpy gnome Thankyou for your kind comments 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

In other news has anyone else noticed that if you chop a few vertebrae out off an oathmark skeletons neck that they make acceptable dwarf skeletons?

All coming together nicely. Have you had a chance to get stuck in with the playtesting yet? Looks like you should have enough little dudes by now.

Cheers hammers

And old hob….nearly😳🤣

Three archers one wolf rider piddle about with the Fallen units and a brontox and that should give me enough options to see if the rules will work/hold up🤞

Then of course there’s the barbarians the Vennsguard and two factions of dwarves so we can have a height restricted civil war 👍🏼

Oh and the Vomorak and the trolls so…

Beauty of having several factions is you can hop around from one to the other when you get bored
Have to say this last month has been one of the most productive painting wise I’ve ever had 🤷‍♂️

That aside the plan is to empty this….and in the process build the skirmishing forces
Wish me luck
Cheers all

Small almost mid week update and side track…
Found a box of these fellas while rummaging and decided to slap in together

Probably use them in singles or units of three if anything…with the embryonic points system a unit of six would most likely be an entire force 😳

‘…so the barbarian scum have an ogre do they? Well I’ve fought bigger…oh…errr….’

Those big bois look suitably nasty, but do work really well together!  8)
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...
