The Shearers' Guild Master and his shield bearer

Second addition to the rank of wealthy citizens leading the Guildhouse militia, this model was an unreleased Marauder Miniature for a long time. Lucky you (and me), this Magic User (former reference MU 9) is now available for almost free (compared to eBay standards!) as a "Time Warped Wizard" from Warmonger Miniatures.

As the city of Pfeildorf is renowned for its wool clothing industry, the guild master of the Shearers had to appear as a very rich citizen, and this wizard was the perfect match. As for the shield bearer (MM64 HL5), I've simply removed the right hand holding the spear and sculpted a new one holding the shield.


The arms of the guild are golden hand shears. A few examples can be found on the web (see below).

Now I'm still hesitating about the next Guild master: I have a few models, some of them sculpted by Aly Morrison, but unfortunately not from the Marauder Miniatures range. Should I break the Marauder-only rule for them? Or try to use some MM62 citizen, even if they're not as convincing as the ones already painted? We'll see...
