Dwarf Valkyries & Drunk Rangers
A Dwarf Lady Warhammer unit, my version of Bugmans Rangers, and some good ol' fashioned Dwarven warmachines in this post!
Greetings, dear readers!
On this post, we show off some Dwarven womenfolk, some good ol' fashioned warmachines, some Bugmans Brewery Rangers, and finally an update on Balin, Lord of Moria.
The great rebasing project continues. Soon enough, all of my Dwarves will be on square bases. Then we need to move on to the Orcs, Dark Elves, Undead, Dragons, etc. Not to mention, there are loads of new painted and unpainted forces to bolster the enemies of Moria! In time, all these will be revealed. Then we can do some battle reports and move forward with the story fluff. So patience, young padawans. Good things are on the way.
Onwards to pics…
At last, Dwarven Womenfolk are here. This unit is called the Valkyries of Valaya. Valaya is the Dwarf goddess of healing and protection.
Astute readers of this blog may recognize that Bertha and Penny from the Dungeon Chef adventure are now in this unit. The Dwarf barmaid from the Party of Special Magnificence, as well as 3 of the Hasslefree girls have also joined and become founding members of the Valkyries.
On the far left is a Stonehaven Dwarf paladin-dress, paladrina, or perhaps a she-paladin?
Next is Chef Bertha with her famous and feared Cleaver of +1 Mutton Chopping,
Next is Brienne of PopTart the High Priestess of Valaya, (not to be confused with Brienne of Tarth, which is understandable since both of them are exceptionally tall and imposing women of their respective races)
and finally on the far right, we have Penny the Sharpshooter with her trusty crosbow.
Gimli: "It's true you don't see many Dwarf-women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Dwarf-men."
Aragorn: [whispering to Eowyn] "It's the beards."
Gimli: "And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no Dwarf-women, and that Dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground!"
[Eowyn laughs]
Gimli: "Which is, of course, ridiculous"
Bugmans Rangers. Rangers lead the way!
Alright, they arent the Bugmans Rangers Box set of which I believe there are 3 versions (Pre Slotta, Oldhammer, & 90s). But, Im using the 6th edition army book to create a Bugmans Rangers unit that doesnt have crossbows, or 2 handed weapons, nor shields. Hmm, they are more brewers and drunks than Rangers, actually. But, hey! They are still excellent at moving through woods and forests. And they have the excellent Beer Cart in its new green basing scheme to accompany them. But dont fear, I have a list. And on that "list of stuff to acquire" is a proper Bugmans Rangers box set, among other things. A Gob Lobber box, Dwarf Renegades, Dwarf Kings Court, and 80s Fellowship of the Ring, are also on that list. In fact the Fellowship is going to come in mighty handy with the fluff I have planned. Middle Earth, you are doomed! Doomed, I say!
And what Ranger unit is complete unless it has cooks.
This army marches on its stomach… with beer and beer basted ribs.
Now for an updated look at Balin and his boys.
Balin's forces are not only rebased, but they are also growing in numbers!
