Araby Mercenary Cavalry

A large portion of 'Brivoli's Great Company' (my Warhammer themed mercenary army) will be of Araby origin.  My working thesis is simply that Anselmo, while on a Crusade in Araby, refused direct orders to slaughter a large number of Araby prisoners.  In doing so, he was either forced out of the mercenary company he was employed by...or he fought to escape it.  The prisoners were so taken with this decision that they provided Anselmo a life debt...and now serve alongside him in his newly founded mercenary organization.

That's the plan, anyway.

Up first is a small unit of light cavalry, made from Fireforge Northmen cavalry mixed with their Berber infantry box.

The Chaos Dwarf army as it sits...

An army shot for the update...early December, 2024.  I'd imagine the army is around 65% complete at this point.

Even more Hobgoblins...

Churning toward the end of the huge Hobgoblin quota for this army, I've finished a unit of mounted archers, and I forgot to snap a picture of this Sneaky Gitz hero.

The Hobgoblin Horde increases...

Been working on some more models for the constantly growing Hobgoblin horde.  A Hobgoblin general on foot...one on a wolf, a few Hobgoblin couriers on wolves, and a Chaos Dwarf sorcerer (the first of many!).

Games!: Narrative FSF between Hobgoblins and Dwarfs

 Starting an early narrative for my buddy's Dwarf force, we set up a scenario today.

I ran only my Hobgoblins, a scouting party which had spotted my buddy's Dwarf trading caravan and descended upon them.  While performing a fighting withdrawal along the road, a mercenary force (my models that he was using) appeared to help fight off the green skin horde.

My buddy managed to get two of three wagons off the table, and inflict enough casualties on me that he won the game, scoring the required 9 victory points.
