I really like This Quar's War - check out the previous posts. However I got my car stolen about a year ago, and in the boot was my Quar collection. The car was found wrecked, and the Quar were gone and my heart was somewhat broken.
This was quite traumatic to say the least, and I just couldn't find the energy and motivation to go back to TQW.
Until now. I've printed and painted my first squad of Gloam Hynn Ryflers. Gloamers are (I think) supposed to be something like backwoods bayou types, misunderstood as clannish and backwards country yokels. They're famous as trappers and backwoodsquar who use the local critters to help hunt and scout.
Their uniforms are supposed to be purple, but as soon as I looked at them, I thought, "they look quite VC" (not the medal, Victor Charles, Viet Cong etc)
So I went for a dark purple, almost black, and plenty of undergrowth to hide in. To be honest theyre not as nice as the original crusaders, I spent a lot of time on them and these guys, not so much, but they're dome now so.....
| Milwer (corporal) and his team |
| Yawdril (Sgt) and his team |
| Tracker and Scarf-cyn beasties |
I also have a Tractor - the Gloamers use the ridiculously cute "Squeedle" light tractor, which is nimble and sturdy enough to be able to operate in the swamps of their homeland.
| The Sqeedle and Squad trapper |
The Gloamers are a Royalists faction, so when I finally reconstitute my Crusaders I will have troops from both sides.
I think I've laid that ghost. Still got some specialists to paint up - musician etc, but that's my Gloamer squad.
Hope to see them soon on the tabletop!
