Second month of the OWAC V, and second unit of pikemen, after the canton of Uri / BlackHorns clan painted last year. This time, I wanted something inspired from the canton of Schwyz: these new dwarves would wear red and white, and carry a banner showing a white cross on a red background. Efficient, and simple to paint 😁

| The Bernese Chronicle |
Admittedly a rather ordinary regiment... until I see this picture in the Chronicon Helvetiae:
No clue what this jester is doing in this illustrated chronicle, but I wanted one for my unit, seconding his lord, and cheering
the guards with lame jokes. So, instead of aligning 10 additional dwarves from the marauder MB1 and MM15 ranges, I have replaced two of them by the gnome jester of the Dwarf King's Court set and the Baron of the Dwarf Lords of Legend set. Et voilà!

Now grouped for the family shots:
With this regiment, I have now painted all the mandatory troops for a 3rd edition Warhammer dwarf army: 40 warriors split into 20 pikemen and 20 halberdiers, and two units of 10 crossbowmen each 🍻
Next month should see a new clan with harquebuses and a hairy mascotte...
