Arjen's The Linden Way Militia (209 points)

So, for the shortest month I chose the unit with the mostest minis. What was I thinking?

So here they are mayor Leofwine and the Lindenway militia; 20 pike-men, 5 archers and a level 5 hero for a total of 140+35+34=209 points.

Now these are not professional soldiers but the farmers, shopkeepers, hunters, village watch, accountants and business annalists (A bit like "Dad's Army"; "don't panic, don't panic!"). Most of soldiery gear is family heirlooms and gear from previous tour of duties (the accountant is rumored to have been a "+4 shock troop" before his arthritis made that profession difficult).

The uniform look has more to do with everyone in Linden way using the same material for clothing (wool and deerskin) and the occasional peddler dumping bulk volume of cheap fabric paint (worm purple and scorpion green in this case).

  

Front row here are 5 hunters and poachers.

In the middle is Mayor Leofwine with his great sword and those citizens with prior experience in soldiery.

Next row are the farmers, landowners with their heirlooms and peons.

Last row are those with enough pike experience that they are trusted to not hinder their fellow soldiers with their reach weapons.

Last pic is of Mayor Leofwine alone.

I contemplated spreading this unit over several months and adding models worth more points to get the ~200 point monthly quota. In the end I do tend to paint in large batches quite fast and it is not that much of a problem after I picked my color palette.
