Rank and File Month #4
Of the innumerable things that a dwarf cannot abide, surely a close shave must rank highly. Sadly, this month's submission was a bit of a close shave, as I realized that simply submitting my planned rank and file of ten crossbow dwarfs would leave me almost 100 points short of the 1,000 point minimum stipulated by the challenge. Such is the price one pays for taking a mulligan in May. I had originally planned to paint some war machines as my wild card, so a pair of fire thrower teams will take me over the finish line.
The quarrelers are a mix of Perry Imperials and slightly flamboyant Marauder sculpts, both equally enjoyable to paint. I tried to keep the Marauders coherent, but not uniform in appearance. I think the two smoking pipes are my favorites, but the buttoned-up Imperials have their charms, too. My approach to the fire throwers was strictly business, as I had to finish them in the late hours of June 29th. Still, perfect is the enemy of good, and done is done.
10 Dwarf Crossbowmen -- 130 points
2 Dwarf Fire Thrower Teams with heavy armor -- 124 points
That takes care of June, and another OWAC is in the books. I'll save the navel-gazing for my wrap-up post.
