Adrian February rank and file: Linden Way militia and dwarf engineers (192 points)

Rank & File month #2

Linden Way is a small frontier settlement and trading post that has grown around a garrison posted to watch the crossroads. However, the garrison moved South to defend Ortar from the goblin hordes. The small militia formed when the orc horde was spotted moving towards Meledir.

While the menace seems overwhelming, they shall not fallback, as they must buy time to organize the defences of Meledir. The fate of their families is at their hands.

A fun collection of militias that I have been collecting for years. This batch are made of Perry Miniatures, Midlam Miniatures and Armalion/Ral Partha armed peasants.

Yeah, I know, if I wanted to recreate exactly the two peasant ilustrations from the campaign book there were two citadel peasants exactly like those. But... I'm not expending silly money in this project and I do not have in mind complete a Citadel villager collections.

I've seen the one with the hay pointing with the fork at Nuln spearman level price and it's completely absurd. I'm happy with my fellow peasants here.

I went for a colorfull display of villager clothes, with mix of greens, browns and pastel colours. They will be complemented in the future with a small set of city guards to represent the militiamen with slightly better weapons and the bows.

I would have loved to include the Linden Way militia standard. However, I couldn't get the lot I've in mind from the old Citadel mercenaries, still in production by Foundry ex-citadel.

This month couldn't be complete without a bunch of the dwarf engineers from Ashak Rise. They're the old citadel engineers, and they all are lovely miniatures. I'd recommend that anyone that love dwarfs have a set of these fellas because they're a joy to paint and blend perfectly with all the editions.

In terms of points.
13 human militiamen: 117 points
5 dwarf engineers: 75 points
Gives a total of 192 points, 18 miniatures.

Next month I'll be in a work trip so expect that it is more light in terms of miniatures but I will try to get the terrain done as part of my Wildcard. Fortunately, the package I was expecting arrived and with that, all the remaining villagers for Linden Way. And of course, the tribute to our beloved Overlord.

Until then,
