Title: [WM] Nordland
Post by: empireaddict on January 21, 2013, 06:53:07 PM

Slightly odd one here.  Those who don't like the unusual use of proxies should look away now.

A while back I wondered whether you could do an Empire army using the Dwarf army list stats.  This is the result.  The absence of any horses sort of fits the maritime fluff, I think.

@frogbear & jchaos79,
Thank you.  It was a fairly straightforward project once I’d stumbled across Copplestone’s Rangers.

How did you make those objective markers?

I think they are from GW, but not sure of that...

JChaos79 is right.  They are Forgeworld's Warmaster ship cargo.  My recollection is that I bought them just before they stopped selling them.
