Contents of a small supply crate from Warlord Games

I ordered a Crusader II from Warlord Games and decided to order a Small Supply crate of RANDOM STUFF Warlord wants to be rid of.

Some of them I actually liked to get!

A famous Native American(?) hero. Could use him in Silver Bayonet.

WTF the League of Fatties Kit?!?! Maybe a boss for the Silver Bayonet Steampunk?

Ghar Outcast Rebel Attack Crawlers. Looks like something Necronish. Not sure what I could use it for.

3 turret armed Boltan Paul Defiant's. Not hugely useful even as a TTI Target Tug! I don't think I'd use them even if I DID have Blood Red Skies.

C3 Support team with Plasma Bombard. 4 sorta Necron figures with a support weapon. Not hugely useful.

Spring Grass flock. I needed some of this colour.

5 Native American Bowmen. Could be used for Rangers of Shadow Deep or a Oathmark ranger unit.

Yak 1 character for Blood Red Skies. More female units is nice, even if I don't play the game or the Yak 1 isn't very good either.


British Napoleonic Paint kit- I actually needed this for Black Powder and Epic Scale Black Powder.

Fully wrapped up in a mystery box in a mystery box is a fully painted...Bi-plane?

Can anyone identify the make and nationality?

3 Mythic America Sapa Emporer on Jade Tigers(?). Might make a useful cavalry for Oathmark (not enough for a unit though) or Rangers of Shadow Deep

3 fantasy characters (maybe a Druid and 2 fighters?). Might work for Rangers of Shadow Fell or as a wizard for Oathmark.

One Sprue of Highlanders for Epic Scale Black Powder. I wanted this too!

12 Numidian Skirmishers. I can use them as an Oathmark human spearmen unit. I have a SPQR boxed set too.

Sachem Warlord of War Eagle. Not really use able for Oathmark but might work as a boss for Rangers of Shadow Deep.
 
Everything that came in the Supply Crate
 

What I actually wanted.

SPQR: A Clash of Heroes Starter Set

 So I saw this on Warlord's website and had a sudden attack of IT MUST BE MINE.

I've wanted some heavy infantry and spearmen for my Oathmark army I just started putting together. And I've always wanted a Roman army. And the game is small so it can hopefully be played solo easier.

There is a LOT of negative comment about the 1st edition of SPQR that came out in 2019. So much so, Warlord is giving AWAY the new rulebook to every new boxed set of units! It must have been pretty bad, I hope they spent some time to actually playtest and work on the game this time.

I'm also getting some Roman officers to maybe use in my Oathmark units to help match them up as an army. Later on I need some catapults and cavalry, and using early Roman Cavalry would work for that too.

I might cut off the plumes from their heads though. And get a standard bearer that can put a flag on.
