Excellent info, the spot has been marked on crude orc maps as "loot"..  Seriously, I like it, cool background. |

Thanks guys.
There's more lore to come.
Mostly unit and character specific lore.
And as I'll be playing more games I'll be able to incorporate real life events into the lore of the hold

These are great. I especially like the use of green.  |

I've been coming up with some ideas for banners and unit names.   as you can tell they're very rudimentary and the fact that I can't draw for shit doesn't help. especially on such a small surface (3 x 4.5 cm, that's super small!) I might color them up to get a better idea of what they would look like in the flesh. They're sized to be the actual dimensions. |

Something more useful and concrete this time. I made some progress and this idea I had for movement trays. i've always liked the idea of being able to field missile troops with or without shields. However, I've never liked how the shields looked on them since placing regular shields on the back won't let you see them, and those small tiny, buckler style, shields that came in the box are not deserving of being called shields. Also since dwarfs are meant to be able to deploy a formidable shield wall, I thought of building a literal wall made of shields.  I built the frame directly into the movement tray.  Then I simply went through my bits and glued shields to it  Even on the sides  Let's see you charge into this  |

three main issues I noticed with this first attempt.
1) the frame is a tiny bit too tall, I might go slightly shorter next time to have more shield and less frame visible
2) these shields are way too convex. The surface area for the glue to stick to is just too small for my liking. Using flat shields would work much, much better.
3) this uses a lot of shields. Which is not a bad thing since I have countless that would otherwise just sit collecting dust. It's something to keep in mind though. Also, the deeper you go the better it is; meaning that starting at rank 3 you end up using less shields than you would by sticking them on individual models.

I must say the Throng of Mustard Dijon sounds daunting enough that even my Warherd would treat them with caution. |

I've had that banner in mind ever since I first saw that "the throng is mustard" meme.
I just HAVE to have it. And while i can't make get myself to make it the main BSB I absolutely need to have it in my army.

Funny enough, I have been making a ton of teeny-tiny mushrooms to put on my bases; so perhaps fungus beer is not all out of the question.
