A few highlights from my 46th frame, all from the high plains of Colorado and Wyoming. There are three Late Prehistoric arrow points, a metal point from historical times, a Pleistocene horse tooth, a pendant, a beautiful golden end scraper, and a Pelican Lake hafted scraper from the Late Archaic.
The grooved axe, from the archaic period, may be as old as 4,000 years. It would have been attached -- hafted -- to a wooden handle. Native people used stone tools like this to chop or crush the wood or food they used in their daily lives. Objects like this required tremendous skill and workmanship to shape and sharpen the stone.
Drawing c 1688–9 by John Taylor from his ‘Historie of his life and travels in America and other parts of the universe’. Taylor had joined the royal army as a Royalist cadet and, although not present at the battle of Sedgemoor, had visited the site immediately afterwards. He misunderstood how the blades were re-hafted, and the dandified costume cannot have been typical, but this remains the only detailed near-contemporary depiction of a Monmouth scytheman.
Bold raiders and expert scouts, the Vanguard-Hunters are the elite infantry of the Vanguard Auxiliary Chambers. Battle-hardened veterans, they are experts at using the terrain to their advantage. Their daring guerilla raids necessitate constant movement – more than once has a thought-unassailable position been scaled and destroyed by a band of Vanguard-Hunters who have made themselves invisible during the madness of battle. Their weapons suit their role – heavy-bladed swords and short-hafted axes cut through brush, briar and flesh, and boltstorm pistols are easy to fire on the move. This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble 10 Vanguard-Hunters. They come with a host of details, appropriate to their constant movement and veteran status: 2 shock handaxes and 10 sets of boltstorm magazines to attach to their waists, as well as grappling hooks and satchels. 2 arms featuring reloading boltstorm pistols are included as an optional assembly. 2 models in the kit can hold an astral compass – perfect for nomadic guerilla warfare, this arcane device allows them to navigate impossible geometries with ease, and thus attack the enemy from angles they least expect. 2 models can be assembled as Hunter-Primes – these variants feature a unique, sculpted shoulder pad with a bear motif, and carry their own shock handaxe, with inflicts extra attacks in-game. This kit is supplied with 10 Citadel 40mm Round bases.
The axes: A versatile tool and a powerful weapon all in one package. The number one companion to any respectable dwarf. Here you see a collection of one-handed axes, being the first two of the battle-type and the others side arms rather. Those weapons vary in their level of refinement and decoration but they all belong to a "purposeful" range, instead of a more expensive item with much more status-related significance. Those are meant to be used, but are still miles ahead of comparable tools from less skilled races. They are all made out of the excellent Dwarven steel and hafted with Yellow Birch, Ash or Oak wood. The geometry and balance of the weapons are flawless and the edge is razor sharp and incredibly durable. Their heads commonly sport a secondary bit in the form of a hammer or a spike, meant to defeat armour by punching through or just delivering concussion force through it. The beard of the blade is also commonly sharpened, allowing for hooking motions to become a potential wounding blow. Those are nimble, versatile weapons capable of delivering cuts from many different angles as well as to grab, trap, bash and hook. A fearsome weapon in the hands of the centuries-experienced Dwarven warriors indeed. The Swords: I- Longbeards, similar culture to Anglo-Saxons.
