Hello everyone, happy new year!
I hope 2025 is starting well for all of you and that nobody will go in the field of bones.
My plan for making my big unit for january was a success, i can now present you a unit of billmen from the cartwright guild.
The carts and wheels builder is a pretty successful guild in the baronny, the inhospitalty of the area does not allow much crops and independance so trading is essential.
The guild leader of the cartwrights became a successful merchant and gather some guards around him to protect his business.
The command group
He even bought his own pet bear and made it played the trumpet. In the center, a trained champion from the Empire commands the unit.
He must also be his bodyguard and his henchman. The young one carries the banner with some tools and a cartwheel. Above it we can see the black axe of the Baron.
Even if you're a successful merchant, you must still follow the lead of the local nobleman.
Finally the last one is the paymaster, when you control the work of some irregular troops like these billmen, everything must be write down: Who s sleeping during duty? Who fought well? Who hides himself during the last battle? ...
Indeed the troops hired by the merchant can be really different:
These guys are not too shabby
Everyone got shoes, the weapons are ok, we even have some armors and a shield.
Not bad ... not bad
Even more armors, some must be from the empire or bretonnia ... They can stand a fight.
Pretty solid bunch
Some pretty cool armors and weapons. Some of them lack shoes, ... weird but if they can still fight, that's good enough for the guild.
Ok ... that's passable ...
No armor, small spear ... some of them lack belts ...
What the h***??
Ok! You guys are hiring everyone, right???
In the borderprinces, it's often hard to fight willing good men ready to fight for you so if you want a pretty solid stick you're good to go!
Here they are as a good unit:
Here we are for the first month.
Next month, i'll go for the outlaws and brigands unit in order to change the clothes colors!
For a unit of 28 hellblitzen with full commands: 279 points
Take care and keep painting.
Cheers.
Sybou
