Thornwood looks like the Season for Searforge.
Character unit Forge Guard! (Will work for Talion? Does that work for the Shae list, then?)
...also, leader of the unit has a magic weapon... with plain ol', non-crit smite. Ugh!
Spellstarved Thrullg! (D-dang! I want this thing in my normal Searforge army! Make that two.)
Rockram upgrade: Get Pathfinder on charge (!!!)
It's a sweet time to be a short guy.

...also, they keep talking about Ogrun with Pole Cleavers. New Ogrun unit with reach for Colossals? Squee!

The league models this time around are pretty cool.
Sadly, my area is pretty leagued out. With the exception of an in house slow grow {to encourage more painted armies!!} we have not had the official league since last fall.
Of course, with several of us regulars being involved in Temple Con, that is understandable...Proud member of the Keeping Mercs Metal Club

The Forgeguard Officer doesn't actually have the 'Officer' rule. Does that mean he comes back as another member of the unit (...at full health?) if he dies?

I really liked this piece of fluff. It wasn't too over the top or world changing, but it had some fun slang and nice continuity.

I don't get it. We get Khador Rhulic Bashers. But we've got no real good Rhulic options. And Bashers don't benefit from being Faction Friendly for Khador at all really. They can't even be in any Khadoran battlegroups.
I'm so confused.

I could kind of take or leave Vornek in the first story - wasnt really jazzed about him. But with this 2nd installment I am definitely more of a fan. Maybe it was because the forge guard officer made a better straight man than the ogryn from the original fluff piece did. But anyhow, great story!

Described as a squad? Also, seems to be a lot of them for just some bokurs. Originally Posted by Coinlord

Hrm. You got a good point. The joys of league models. That said, that's a potential 50 wounds in the squad. Yowza! Originally Posted by Robert Shepherd

Giving Thrullgs to Searforge... Gah. Solves one of the shortcomings fo the contract. And it's a potentially nasty melee monster.
