The Beast of Caerbannog and the final Rabbits.

...

Rarely can any wargamer call a project truly finished, but for the Rabbits of War-tership Down I can truly say they are completely done now; given I have finally put brush to the last of the Kickstarter models I purchased, and with their regular price and postage from the USA simply being prohibitive for this gamer, I won't be adding anything to the collection!

A unit of light foot 
The added models allowed me to assemble a final regular unit, but I puzzled what to do with the assortment of novelty parts, extras and spares.  Eventually I settled on a specialist unit of elite Monk Botherers!  Equipped with sniffer dogs and snails, Beaters - both of the musical and brush variety - and Torturers, skilled in skinning Monks the way a Rabbit might expect from their human foes...

The Beast and an elite unit of Hunters
That still left a couple of spares to make a blood stained rabbit hero, and a standard bearer for the force.  Plus the fearsome beast of Caerbannog itself.



The rabbit was one of the decor pieces from the Kickstarter, to which I added parts from a deep dive in the spares box, and made a scenic base for what in game would clearly count as a cunning, and probably poisonous, Greater Warbeast!

The final push for this army completed, I await their likely first outing.  Three of my group are going to attend the Rampant Age day hosted by Wargames Illustrated:

Obviously in the fantasy section.  It felt like the Rabbits would be ideally suited to provide some charm to the event, also the potential match up of these against Chaos Warriors or similar cheesey GW models is too much to resist.
