Ratwig's Rank & File Post Number 3 (432 points)

 This month, I am submitting a unit of shadows led by a level 10 hero with a level 10 assassin attached and a Dark Elf wizard mounted on a cold one. The assassin / shadow kill team will be for going about murdering characters from the other side using magic and/or poisoned projectiles from the hero and assassin. The wizard on cold one will reinforce the first unit of cold ones I painted for this challenge bringing them up to a strength of seven.

1 x level 10 hero (88) --> 99, "Xylomox", E: hand weapon, repeater crossbow (+4), light armor (+2), scout leader (+5)

7 x shadows (19 ea) --> 133, E: hand weapon, repeater crossbow (+4), light armor (+2)

1 x assassin (88) --> 100, "Vox", E: hand weapon, additional hand weapon (+1), crossbow (+3), light armor (+2), throwing knives (+1), scout hero (+5)

1 x level 5 wizard (78) --> 100, "Nit Noy", E: hand weapon, cold one (+22)

Total 432 points.

Xylomox, level 10 leader of the shadows.

Vox, level 10 assassin.


Nit Noy, level 5 wizard, aspiring grand master of death...


Group shot of this month's submission:


All but two of this month's entry are Marauder figs. The wizard is an old pre-slotta hunk of lead and one of the shadows is an older "Drow" figure. The shadows had brass wire strings added to their repeater crossbows. The assassin carries a Gripping Beast crossbow with copper wire bowstring.

For next month, I pulled out two old units that I've had sitting around for a long time for my final rank & file entry.

Damnit Janet! Who drank up all the Jack?!? Oh yeah, never mind...

Ratwig's Dark Elf Shadows (200 pts)

My first installment is a unit of 10 x Shadows for a total of 200 points. They have all the additives: light armor, shield and repeater crossbow. I added brass rod for bowstrings and some crossbows were modified into repeater crossbows with one troop performing a reload. I kept the colors muted as they are supposed to be dressed in “twilight colors that merge with the shade”.  The brown/grey splinter pattern for their shields kind of got washed out in the light after ink wash and dry-brushing, but I kind of like the way they turned out anyway.






Preparing the next batch of figs for paint.
Ran out of Jack… the horror!
Thanks,
