A Miscellany of Quar

Axes of the Quar! The axes of the Quar are upon you! Oh, wait...

This little squad are intended to be Toulmorese Pathfinders. But their hoods and axes make me think "dwarves", specifically Thorin Oakenshield's Companions (perhaps I should ask Don for enough to make 13?). Now, mountain troops don't really fit into my jungle theme for the Toulmorese, so what to do with them? Yes, one can have mountains in jungles. But still. The hoods and collars especially seem to me to be very hot for jungle warfare.

But the Fidwog live in a mountainous area and their greatcoats make me think cold. So these might be the start of Quar Army Number 8: Fidwog! The Command and Specialists for Fidwog are coming soon in plastic. So I'm waiting and will just buy the whole bunch all at once, so I have the plastic accessory arms in the command and specialist sets to do conversions, instead of messing about with 3d prints and superglue like I've done with my other armies.

I hadn't initially been terribly enamoured of Fidwog in their red greatcoats. But then someone on the Quar Discord had painted their Fidwog in khaki greatcoats and dark green helmets, like 1940 French, which struck me as very attractive. So I tried the same scheme on these figures.

Fidwog are 10% smaller than other Quar, continuing the Quar-Dwarf idea. But these chaps, being hardy mountain troops, maybe are selected from the largest of Fidwoggian troops. Or maybe I won't really notice the 2 or 3mm difference?

Their uniforms are Tamiya Khaki, hoods are Tamiya NATO Green. Equipment and gaiters are done with sepia ink.

I think I will reassign these tractors to my Fidwog army when I build them. Perhaps change the camo to something more French.

I also did some batches of casualties that had been lurking around. Nine each of Coftyrans and Toulmorese. They definitely overindulged at Madam Maeb's Beetle Buffet, or weren't paying attention to the Medic's briefing on Enviromental Hazards and which bugs a Quar should not eat.

I should figure out a use for them. Perhaps to mark morale state or something.

So tidying up some loose bits on two existing armies, and perhaps the beginnings of a new army of Quar. I've got some vehicles for the Crusaders and Royalists to work on next, plus a few civilian characters.
