Blue’s March Madness ...Forward the PIKES!!! (212 points)

Hi all,

After last months mulligan I had hoped to knock out a couple of batches of figures this month...but once again I found myself down to the wire cranking out the rest of my pike unit and a couple of spare Zweihanders to fill out my point allotment.  It was a near run thing with some unexpected work travel that took me away from my painting desk for the final weekend of the month.  But it all fell together at the end and I’m quite happy with the results.

Here is this months allotment... 12 pike dwarfs including standard and musician and two Zweihanders...which I run with hammer stats (+4 shock elites).

Here is a close up the Zweihanders

...solo shots of the pike reinforcements.

And the Pike unit as a whole! I’m very happy with how this unit has come together in the end.  While the figures are not quite as characterful as the original Marauder pike block it will be an excellent addition to my army.  Plus with all the helmets and breastplates in this unit I can run them with heavy armor...and with their slightly larger size than the smaller marauder pike men I can also opt to upgrade them to clansmen and make them a more formidable unit.

And here is a quick pic of the newly expanded Zweihander unit...now up to 14 members it is looking fine and is quite a force to be reckoned with on the table top. 

March OWAC Points break down:

12 Dwarf Clansmen with pikes +musician 182 pts.

2 Zweihanders 30 pts

March total 212 pts.

Next month I think I’m moving onto some fire support for these guys.

Cheers,

Blue
