So, two 2 company units of light Dwarf infantry are done. They were actually fun to paint but kept getting shunted aside for other tasks which is why it took so long to complete. In the end I just wanted them off the painting table so flocked them up today.
Again these are going to be fast moving skirmishers.with decent shooting skills. It should make them fairly flexible.

So, I finally got around to building and basing some of the Oathmark light dwarves that I bought many months ago. Up first are these 12 guys who will be an auxiliary unit for my Roman Dwarves. I envision fielding them as two units of two companies, but I might also need to spread them out into four one company units.
I think they look the part and are bright enough that they should not go unnoticed on the battlefield. With only three figures a base they do look irregular, almost skirmish troops. Many of the poses are running or at very least they are in action poses. The bows were an add on that I had not planned for but the box included a mix of weapons and bows made sense.
They stat out as:
Irregular Doughty Shooting Skirmish Fast
Just the way they look!
Here, despite the lack of demand to see them, are my cards for Fantastic Battles. They are in no order and are a mix of spells and relics.
Disclaimer: I found these images through online searches and was unable to determine if they were copyrighted, hopefully not. At any rate I, perhaps foolishly, thought I would share these, no copyright infringement is intended & if I offend let me know and I shall remove them.
I have found them somewhat useful as all required information is included on the cards. I tried to make the cards visually interesting and the images matching the spell.If you are using character cards you could clip these to those cards to indicate who has what.
For the spells you would want to record what level any given spell was selected at. I use plastic card sleeves for these cards, so dropping a damage marker into the sleeve is a quick way to record the spell level.
Anyways, for what it is worth here they are!

Yet another classic match up Dwarf vs Goblin, was played today. This was a game originally planned for last November, but had to be postponed. Thankfully Craig was able to attend this game despite the resurgence of winter!
