Project Beerenburg - Brewers' Guild Archers
Within mercantile cities like Beerenburg, the various merchant guilds hold a great deal of influence, effectively opperating self-regulating districts and electing the burghers who decide foreign policy. During times of war, each guild is called upon to provide guilder battalions - or pay for mercenaries to march in their place.
As well as the endemic rats from Anvil Miniatures, I also added two Duncan Shadow 3D printed female halflings (printed 17mm to the eye to make them more compatible). They are not a perfect match - their floofy fripperies are not quite a flouncy as the TAG halflings, and they are much slimmer in general - but they will hold the line just the same.
In Beerenburg, no guild is more powerful than the Honourable Company of Brewers; their battalions of archer, bedecked in the guild's iconic red and white, are staples of the city's militant ventures.
This three-company unit - built for Fantastic Battles as a formed company with the militia racial trope and skilled shooting trait - is made up predominantly of TAG halflings. These are joyous figures with a great range of different scults that are just packed with character - the halfling giving the two-finger salute is a favourite, but also the variety of sandwishes, apples on arrows and other appropriate accoutremonts. For the Brewer's Guild I put as many drinking references as possible into the unit (and a wee B on the shield of their standard).
The read of the figures are also awash with foodie goodness ranging from carrots and cheese, to grapes, raddishes, sausages, bread and pastries.
