Forge Ahead: Conquest & Mercenaries (Patreon)

September is quickly leaving us and we come to that time again we look to the next month and what terrors will be joining our growing Evil Dwarf Legion.

Our roadmap is also getting ticked off month by month and soon the next three months will have to be mapped which is always exciting. For October however it is Conquest and Mercenaries: enter the Siege Giant and mercenaries in the form of beady eyed Hobgoblins!

As usual I'll tell you what I have in mind and open it up to the Forge for your input.

Siege Giant

About 105mm tall and built to fit on a 50x75mm base

2 different heads. Suitably chaos warped head. Angry. Helmeted. Head connector built to hold the other Evil Dwarf heads in the range (with enlargement of course).

My idea is that the Siege Giant is built for its purpose with Evil Dwarf craftmanship. So, it is properly armoured and doesn't look like it was a bunch of scraps thrown together. This goes for weapons too. The armour is just to the front to absorb all the damage as it does its job taking down fortifications.

Hand connections will have options for a number of weapons, many of which replace the hand itself. Hooks, cleavers, petards, spinning blades, mutations due to experimentation.

Shoulder armour compatibility.

Hobgoblins

We'll start with the basic troop, made to fit a 25x25mm base size.

How tall should they be compared to an Evil Dwarf?

Classic cowl hats but a mix of metal and leather. They should still fit into the Evil Dwarf Legion.

Beady eyes, pointy ears, big grins full of teeth will be a feature.

Light Armour, no armour option. Cheaper materials.

Modular kit in itself.

Towards the end of October I'll review the list of ideas you have contributed over time and the survey results from the other month to establish another three months for our Forge Ahead roadmap.

Until then, what are your ideas for the Siege Giant and Hobgoblins?

Thanks as always
