Adrian's dwarves - January rank & file month of dwarf clansmen (363 points)

Rank and File Month #1 

The dwarf warriors march to the call of their King.

King Kazador has sent the messages across his realm and to their allies, the call for arms is spreading fast. The reward is no less than the head of the warlord Gorfang himself. 

Kazador is so eager to claim his vengeance that he will to advance with a vanguard ahead of his drong. He plans to strike the orc raiders in the mine while the two armies set up the lines in the valley, willing to save the brave dwarves. And, if lucky, duel the orc champion far from the mess of a large battle. 

Mustering the drong is a slow process for this risky plan, but some clans can be ready fast enough to join this adventure. The clan Hammergrim was the first to depart with their king, leaded by Grokrin Hammergrim, after accompanying some of the merchant caravans from Karak Azul. They did not need to rest after the long journey to other karaks in the North, as the promise of crushing orc skulls will be more than welcomed after their long and boring job as bodyguards. 

 

This month I almost finished the entire unit of 14 dwarf warriors with full command – 244 points

 

“Almost” because as you can see… the standard lacks a proper freehand. Shame. I will come back to it in the next month or in the leader month. 

I also changed a bit the troop quantities because a package with the last two dwarves I needed seems to be lost, sadly. I borrowed a volunteer from another unpainted unit. And I have come with a solution that you will see in the leader month as well.

Meanwhile in the mine, the seven dwarves will not let the orcs get their hands in the piles of gold and gems, much less raid the vaults of the rediscovered karak and its treasures of ancient times. “Doc”, Oin “Sleepy” Cliffchin and Grom “Bashful” prepare a surprise made with a set of old furnaces and a large amount of flammable and unsafe materials. 

The engineer and the fire team count as a Flame Cannon – 119 points. 

So this month ends with a total of 17 dwarves and 363 points. 

See you in the next post. 

Adrian’s out.
