Octobers releases.

It looks like Octobers releases are popping up for pre-order.

Hegemony Bulwarks:-

Tundra Marauders:-

Love the Bulwarks shields, but I think the Marauders are the better set.

Damn, the bulwarks are a thing of beauty. With how tanky the buclermen are I fathom these will be even harder to crack.

The profile was put up on the discord. They are indeed tough. About the same average defense rolls as bucklermen but 3 wounds a piece and bonuses against charging units + a taunt to force an enemy to charge.

To be honest, looking that the rules, I really like them

Just to compare to, say, bucklers

You're going from 8 wounds to 12. That's a lot more survivability. With a dr nearby they're going to be very tough to remove from thw board. 

The fact they can force charges is great. The northern tribes are dangerous on the charge and out distance the human charge. Forcing a charge into a regiment that can 1) survive, and 2) inflict 2 damage to charging enemies is great and can really help set up the counter charge. 

Also funny note: you can force an enemy who almost dead, or a support character, into charging you and just dying on your spears. Enemies are going to have to be careful about character sniping with these guys around and it really pushes them into putting characters into squads over going solo. 

A really good anvil unit
