Beware the frogs of March!
March brought out the first of two units of suit-wearers for the Slann. The "suite-wearers" or knights, as some explorers called them, where elite forces/warrior orders in Aztec society. My apologies to the more verbose and literate, but I chose to be extremely brief on the subject.
I did get a bit of chuckle out of a unit of frogs wearing alligator skins as heavy armor... Kinda a role reversal eh?
The unit provides some heavy hitting power to the Slann. Heavy armor and double-handed weapons means that these frogs can keep the same pace as the fellas with light and shield but not loose protection when they use their macy tails to full effect.
15 Alligator Warriors w 2 Handed Weapons and a Standard = 208 points for March!
Next month is up in the air, it will either be a frog on a shelf or the 15 Eagle Warriors....
Frog disguised as alligators... what a zoological mess ;-) very well done, amd they look very effective as unit!
ReplyDeleteThose are cool models, and well done!
ReplyDeleteLoving that banner! The Ali-frogs look good too.
ReplyDeletemore like great-or boys right
ReplyDeleteRight on, brotha! Love those gator-heads.
ReplyDeleteThe blue background makes it look like they're cruising through a river looking for their next meal.
such cool models, and very evocative paint job
ReplyDeleteNice paint work. Like the reptilian look you gave them.
ReplyDeleteIs the standard a back banner?
ReplyDeleteOnce again, enjoying seeing your army develop. Looking forward to seeing how the whole thing looks together once the OWAC is done.
I was kinda at a loss on the banner, so I looked thought a couple of books and the Aztecs did use some simple banners. The slann was in a hard pose to convert. I almost gave him a shield to his the pole behind but I couldn’t get it to work. So I tucked the banner pole near the rear hand and slightly bent the figure to slip the pole near the rear leg. It did the trick ok I think.
DeleteThere’s something very imposing about the unit you painted this month. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteLovely bright colours to go with some very idiosyncratic minis. Bags of character and tons of fun! :D
ReplyDeleteCool looking figures, someday maybe I will find some of my own.
