I've built these in the past 24 hours, while also working on the riftforged orcs commission.

Full review will be part of my upcoming essay/history of plastic skeleton warrior kits. I will happily give cliff notes if requested.

Imperial shire of Colombard

Shortly after the dissolution of the alliance between the halfling shires and the league of Rhordia, most of the halfling populace of Rhordia vacated the country.

Some went back to the shires. Some had other ideas. One muster captain had aspirations of Glory.

Denouncing the ruling shire council as corrupt, and assuming the name and title General Armagnac (after a particularly rowdy evening drinking with a travelling band of brothermark knights) he led a group of trained bands with similar feelings south.

Having eventually made their way to as far south as they could, eventually arriving in the environs of the southern Dragons Teeth Mountains, edging into the Successor Kingdoms. The crossing of the peaks was perilous, and if not for the help of a enclave of dwarves the column would have surely perished or been waylaid.

Here at the base of the mountains Armagnac would establish his own version of a guardburg with an attached settlement. He named this new settlement Colombard, and with his wit and charisma persuaded his troops and their families to elect him as "High Chancellor" of the newly formed settlement council.

Armagnac, impressed with the gunpowder weaponry of the dwarves who had assisted him in the mountains, resolved to modernize the military forces available to his fledgling settlement.

Soon, a large proportion of the trained bands were equipped with halfling-forged muskets, and trade with surrounding human settlements made further improvements possible.

The trained bands were organized into larger structures, and cavalry formations attached to provide support. Uniform colors were introduced so the army could be better directed in combat. Armagnac even introduced new headgear, intentionally differentiating his forces from other halfling armies.

All of these preparations would be needed, for soon war would come to Colombard.

Napoleonic Halflings? I like the idea, and especially your background so far. Vive le Chancelier!

Though please tell me you're using something more fitting as mounts for the cavalry than those silly giant English Setter dogs...

Nope. At least not initially. I'll test the cav to see if they will fit on anything else, but as it is the dogs stay PXL_20220808_075812747.jpg

I've made slow progress on all fronts. Frustratingly slow, but its progress at least.

For example, I build a sauce-eror, which is a hero level character for my halflings.
