So a Fair Bit has happened since my last post.
I have been beavering away working on my 25mm WFB 3rd edition stuff.
Here are some finished units:
ARMBRUSTSCHUTZEN
Crossbows are a staple of any Imperial force.
The small garrison at Heiligsheld is no different.
This particular lot are lead by sergeant ‘Short’ Basil as his men call him, a veteran of many a skirmish and more than capable of bullseying the eye of a bull at some prescribed distance. He keeps his lucky bolt in his cap.
It was shot at him from behind by a goblin war chief, the bolt miraculously tore through his shirt, bounced around the inside of his breastplate and came out through the back again and then killed the war chiefs wolf. *
Basil keeps it in his cap as a good luck charm.
*So Basil claims.
ERZATSOLDER
The most versatile of all the imperial soldiers, the humble swordsman.
They are led by Karl Raspe who is a distant relation of Count Halven.
A veteran of campaigns in Tilea he thinks himself a bit fancy and cultured.
He even claims to have visited Lustria and far off Cathay.
He is proud of his moustache.
The banner is carried by Adolphus and shows the crest of the Halven family who rule the village of Heiligsheld.
This banner is significant as when taken into battle, holy relics are hung from it.
They are the last remains of Imre Jenz, the person from whom the village got its current name.
He died in 2155 defending what is now an old ruined shrine off in the forest from followers of chaos.
The unit has a couple of Martyn Hauer’s old mercenary lads in it, one of which has a brother in the Armbrustschutzen led by ‘Short’ Basil.
At the rear is Heinrich the units musician. When roused his pipes let forth a terrible wailing that puts fear into friend and foe alike.
HOLZFALLER
Heiligsheld is located somewhere near or in woods.
As such woodsmen are fairly common there.
The Holzfaller of Heiligsheld are however an exceptional bunch.
Whilst not actually soldiers, nor indeed part of the garrison, they will of course defend their home should the need arise.
This unit is lead by Martyn Hauer an old mercenary captain who can be seen in the middle.
His old mercenary unit was known as the Red Cocks.
On the far left is Fimm, an adept woodsman who fills his spare time carving ornate figurines for the local children.
Between Fimm and Martyn is Anatole Bucheron, he is a Brettonian.
Next to Martyn is Johan Wesker-Schmitt, he likes the Bierwurst and ale. He claims the garlic in the Bierwurst keeps the Counts Men at bay.
Finally on the far right we have Big Heinz, a companion of Martyn from his mercenary days.
