Hobby Update: Free Dwarf Shieldbreakers

The mustering for the Free Dwarfs continues, with more Core Shieldbreakers joining the ranks of my newest army project!

Together, we have a 2nd horde!

The models are all Mantic, though they lack the horns of my previous units, though that's fine and the previous adornments can be used to tell the units apart on the field, and differentiate any items held.

A regiment, with the sergeant all grins.

As-discussed in the other unit's post, the Shieldbreakers have had a weird back-and-forth with their modifiers, ultimately ending up now with CS1 and TC1. While I was a little skeptical at how often a Speed 4 infantry block would get the charge off, they have done great work in all my games so far, and I've been forced to eat my words and re-evaluate my position. It all comes down to deployment. If the Dwarf line layers up, with these as a second line, they should be able to brawl just fine, ideally cleaning up the opponent's push.

The second new regiment.

We've only run regiments so far, but the Shieldbreakers have already surprised me, so I am very happy to have another horde's worth of them finished. We'll endeavor to get these on the table soon!
