[WM] Nordland

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.

Hero | General | Warrior Priest (Runesmith proxy)


Mariners (Warriors proxies)



Rangers


Artillery


Flame Cannon


Handgunners


Sailors with Handguns


Sailors with Cannons


Warrior Monks (Trollslayers proxies)


Objective Markers


Airship (Gyrocopter proxy)

@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.
