Burrows and Badgers - warbands part 1

hi all,

Years and years ago, I was at Salute and I was perusing the stalls and generally having a good nose at all the fantastic products on show. When I come across a small independent merchant with an absolute belter of game, where anthropomorphic animals fought skirmishes. There were mouse knights and shrew beserkers facing off against fox rogues and crafty rats, I had discovered Burrows and Badgers from Oathsworn. At that time, I was very into Bushido and had spent pretty much my whole budget at GCT and Hasslefree Miniatures, which meant that sadly I couldn't afford the beautiful miniatures on offer, so with great reluctance walked away, with sad backwards glances.

Fast forward to about 18 months ago and I start reattending TWC, my local games club and what do I find? a thriving Burrows and Badgers community! oh hell yeah!! I jumped in with both feet and purchased my first warband made up purely of models I liked the look of... It was a disaster - not because the models aren't amazing because they really are lush, or because of Oathsworn because they have literally the best customer service I have ever experienced in the hobby (massive shout out to the Lovejoys for being a positive force in this hobby). Nope it was a disaster because it had no shape, synergy, composition - but boy did it look good.  Since then I've been absolutely hooked and every couple of months I order a few more models and have built up quite a selection. So I thought I'd show a few off over the next couple of weeks.

First up is the second warband I bought, this time it had a theme, can you guess what it is?

The Flying Squad, a special unit formed the ranks of the Royalist factions of Northymbria

l-r Capt Pinot (Pelican - large bird), Sgt Ottis (Owl - large raptor),
Magis Rosie (Raven - massive bird), Big Red (Red Kite - massive raptor)

l-r Scotty (Sparrow - small bird), Simon (Sparrow), Kevin (Kingfisher - small bird)
Cpl Solomon (Sparrow Hawk - medium raptor), Stella (Starling - medium bird)

Magis Bernard (Bat - small animal)

Next up is a warband from the wilds of Strath Clota, wearing their famous tartan, these fierce warriors raid the towns and villages of Northymbria. Incidentally, the tartan is actually my family tartan on my maternal side.

l-r, Sandy (Squirrel - medium animal), Clara (Cat - medium animal),
Harry (Hedgehog - medium animal)

l-r, Fergus (Ferret - medium), Wilhamena (Wildcat - large animal),
Haggis (Hound - medium)

l-r, Scotty (Sparrow - small bird), Maggie (mouse - small), Mervin (mouse - small)

that's it for this week,

hope you enjoy
