Boar-pede

I haven't managed to get a game in this week but I have completed two more units for my Herd army.
First to be completed was the Stampede unit, this is a fast hard hitting unit that cannot be hindered due to the Strider special rule. The Stampede has been a staple of Herd armies over the years but has had a couple of nerfs to it's nerve which makes it a more fragile unit than when it was first released.

The main focus of the unit is a Boar Demon model from the Reaper Bones which is supported by some Mantic Boar models.

The Mantic models came as part of a job lot of Orcs I got on Ebay so I used a couple of the Orc infantry to add some extra interest to the unit.

I left the wings off the Boar Demon as this isn't a flying unit with the intention of using them on another model to make a flying Avatar of the Father model.

Being an Irregular unit means the Stampede does not unlock any other units and takes up a Troop unlock slot. 

The second unit to be added was the Avatar of the Father. This is a unique monster unit which can be upgraded to have wings to create a fast moving and hard hitting addition to the army.

I used a Minotaur Demon model again from Reaper Bones as the basis and added the wings from the Boar Demon. As the Reaper Bones models are made from a fairly soft material that can be heated up in boiling water to reshape the piece it was pretty easy to get the wings in place.

The other prime benefit of the Reaper models is the price, for just over £12 you get a really big model that whilst it may lack the fine detail of a GW model of the same size comes in at a fraction of the cost.

At 320 points for the flying version of the Avatar it isn't a cheap unit to field but being a monster means it gains the double/triple attacks when flank/rear charging. I don't feel that I made the best use of my flying units with the Kin so practice will be needed to get the most out of this unit.

Finally a quick shot to show just how large a model he is compared to some of the others in the army. So far pretty much all the units are on the large side but the Avatar towers over all of them.
