Hello
to my fellow OWAC participants. More State troops this month as we reach the
half-way point. I wanted to comment on the lack of banners in my units. I plan
to attach the banners in the last post's family picture. And now on to this month’s
entry.
“By bolt or by
sword.” “By bolt or by sword!!” repeated the Wardens in unison. Sargant Pfeffer
was going through the daily training and target practice with his troops. Every
day he repeats the unit’s motto and every day the response is the same. His men
fully understand the importance of their task; to protect the cannons at all
cost. Canons are rare in Solland and his two charges even more so. Gifted to
The Sons by the dwarf lord Ardrit Runeflayer for their role in the relief of
his outpost which was under siege from Orcs in the Montdidier pass. Very few
know that Runeflayer himself trained the canon teams on the deployment and use
of the weapons. The benefit of that training has paid off in many conflicts since.
Runeflayer also provided the Wardens with dwarven made crossbows and explained the
importance of protecting the canons to allow them to preform with peek
efficiency. Pfeffer swore to the dwarf lord that the Wardens would protect the
canons by bolt or by sword. Runeflayer was so pleased with Pfeffer’s
dwarf-minded response that he invited the Wardens to train with his Quarrellers
to fine tune their use of the crossbow. The Wardens pride themselves as the
most well-trained unit in the Sons and their training has paid off on many a
battlefield.

I love the bold yellow. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteSeconded. White and yellow - a brave choice, but well executed!
ReplyDeleteI third that, lovely color choice, and they look great and menacing!
ReplyDeleteNicely done! Nice uniformity in the yellow and white, but enough variation in the other colours that they don't look identical. Keep it up!
ReplyDelete"Sargant Pfeffer" :D Love it.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the gold/yellow and white are strong colors and I really like the almost feudal feel of the set.
Nice old figs you used there! Love the unit colors.
ReplyDeleteYour colour scheme is giving this force a great visual coherence. They look ace on the tabletop! Loving the use of the old Perry minis though too. Wonderfully accurate minis 😉
ReplyDeleteNice little back story - I just read it to my 7 yr old who is staying up late and being a junior nerd - we enjoyed it :)
