23Here Kitty Kitty

VotingStarted Mar 10th, 2018

Make a Pet for your gang! No minimum or Maximum base size! If you want to make a Master or Handler as well then go for it, but we're not really looking for the "Beastmaster" style model, instead an actual Pet or member of your Gang / Warband / Mob. Also, feel free to come up with your own ideas, you don't need to copy what FW are doing.

14Neglected Youth

ClosedEnded Jul 6th, 2016

Juves are often neglected, or at least low priority, when painting and modelling gangs and warbands. They are the test pieces to see if a paint scheme will work, and often have the least attention paid to them when it comes to details and finishing touches. We all know what happens when youths are neglected, they become the Young and the Restless, and it is rare to hear the word "delinquent" without the prefix "Juvenile"
