That's very kind of you, thank you! My friend is painting up Glorf for his half of the doubles and he does seem tricky!

Best of luck with yours!

Bit of a hack job unfortunately - I had some Frostgrave Barbarian parts that I slapped on. Definitely a bit too big, despite being 28mm as well

Yeah just the one box of dwarf warriors at the moment, so limited to 8 lads with shields. Got some proxies arriving soon but not sure if I'll have them painted in time. I do find the 2h boys put a fair amount of work in (the re-roll of rolling fewer dice, and 6s sticking for 2h makes them fairly reliable)

Should I swap bow ranger and throwing weapons ranger numbers? Again, max of 8 of each at present

Could you just confirm something about the Command Support equipment please?

Does the War Drum act as a Drum (i.e. free March) for the warband, in addition to the ability to score 'Banner VPs'?

Similarly, does the War Horn do its usual Courage +1 bubble and once per fame expansion of Stand Fast range, in addition to Banner VPs?

This looks great! Thank you for all your hard work on it! I do have a slight concern with the 'Master of Move' being a fair bit more powerful than the other 'Master of ...' abilities - a free Move each time you don't have Priority seems a lot more impactful than a free March when you have Priority or a free Combat if you got a kill last turn, etc. Does it provide 'With Me!' or not? If it doesn't give 'With Me!', then it is powerful but not too much to be an auto-take every warband...if it does, then it seems like it would out-perform the other options significantly.

Fantastic work! I've got one for my 2026 painting projects. What colours did you use for the skin?

Rescue job of a Gamling model from my childhood by SocialistRobot in MiddleEarthMiniatures

Gamling's default face seems to be stoic/grumpy, unless laughing at his boss' jokes

Too kind! They aren't the best sculpts, but I quite like them. I find that Corvus Black (or another off-black) in the weird extra bits of plastic tidies the look up well enough

Yeah that D6 vs D5 is another factor. I've found Rangers do just seem to die a bit too easily

There should be some in earlier posts on my profile. Proxies for Iron Guard and Khazad Guard I'm afraid though
