Squirrel!

Of all the whimsical, goofy things that I love about Quar, Messenger Squirrels and their Handlers are probably my favorite. 

Phone lines get cut by shelling. Radios are too heavy to be carried by Company HQ and are unreliable. But the clever, agile pykpyks get through. 

So I'm quite pleased that my Coftyran Company HQ Squad now has their own Messenger Squirrel Handler and is complete as far as I'm concerned. 

Officially, the Company HQ Squad, or Caerten's Retinue, consists of himself, the Master-Yawdryl, Cook, Squirrel Handler, Musician, and Standard Bearer, and up to four Rhyflers to use for HQ Defense or Runners.

A Musician or Standard don't totally fit the WW1 vibe I'm looking for. Medics will fill in for one of those to remove shock etc.

If there were some Musicians with more whimsical instruments, like something Dr. Seuss would give a Who, I would probably change my mind however, but the plastic set appears to have a drum. Boring! Perhaps alternate musicians will be available through the MyMiniFactory Tribe?

I can only hope.

This fellow was made entirely from 3d printed components, except the left arm, which I made from a left over plastic arm and a clenched fist cut from a bent arm.
