The first figures for 2026 are, naturally, more Quar as I finish the odd bits that Don has printed for me from the Zombiesmith MyMiniFactory Tribe.
First up we have a very whimsical musician to boost the moral of the Gloam-Hyyn. He's playing a stringed instrument reminiscent of a Mongolian fiddle.
On his shoulder is a helpful beetle who is singing along.
I love all the little details in his kit. The bottle, a couple of fish hanging from his belt, the wine skin and assorted oddments.
Next is a figure from a set that Zombiesmith released for folks to print up and give away at conventions or use for conversions or test uniform schemes on. He's got his carbine over his shoulder and is missing one of his sandals. I'm sure there's a story there. He's probably the company awkward squad.
I gave him the pack with the frying pan and spoon on it to designate him the Company Cook. He maybe a bit dozy, and probably lost his sandal gathering crawfish from the bayou, but his shrimp po'
boys and etouffee are legendary.
Officially, the Gloam-Hyyn don't get cooks, but since when have I been
official?
Another addition to the Gloamers are these very piratey chaps with flintlock weapons. Buccaneers and Blunderbusses. The Buccaneers have two flintlock pistols but with all the prints one (usually the left hand) pistol broke. So I swapped the hand for one holding a sword to make him another junior officer.
Now I'm not really sure what the official lore is for guys carrying old fashioned blunderbusses. Perhaps they're sort of low powered scatter guns or shotguns?
But I'm thinking I might make them a squad of Grenadiers with Rifle Grenade Launchers. The big bell shaped muzzle looks like it could seat a grenade and they're obviously reaching in their bags for another.
I painted the Crusader Cook a while ago, but I didn't like that he didn't have a pack. So when I saw in the
plastic Crusader Command set that the cook pack was the same as the Gloam-Hyyn pack I got Don to print another up and painted it to add to him.
This Toulmorese character is from the same set of one piece characters Zombiesmith released to be given away at shows or the local game store.
I decided that he would be the Toulmorese Company Cook and issued him the same pack.
He obviously likes his drink.
Finally, we have some Wysp Handlers to go with the Toulmorese Trench Raiders. They use swarms of the big wysps to drive enemies out of cover. Or you could roll badly and the wysps attack you, or just buzz off.
