It's Okay, I'm With the Warband

Took almost half of the year of fantasy to get around to painting up some heroes, but they look great.  You'll want to click on the pictures to get the full effect.  This is a 10 man pack from Ral Partha Europe's BlightHaven line, specifically BH011: Human Mercenary Warband.

These guys look a little too uniform for the sort of rag-tag band of misfits that tickle my D&D sensibilities, but they'll make a fine force in any sort of warband skirmish game such as Song of Blades and Heroes or even Osprey's EnGarde! (which has yet to see the table - one more warband and we're good to go).

These troops match a color scheme used in my 10mm figures with a lone tower keep emblazoned on a yellow field.  In D&D they may make hired mercenaries (i.e. hireleings), but if a player wanted to use one for a character it wouldn't break my heart.
