Hello friends!

Thanks to the kindness of Graham Davey (a Wargaming legend – I still have a lot of White Dwarf with You!) I received 5 plastic frames and a special model from his latest game – Guards of Traitor’s Toll – to review and paint.

Guards of Traitor’s Toll is a forthcoming skirmish adventure game set in a fantasy city, written by Graham Davey (Test of Honour, 0200 Hours)

        Patrol the streets, alleys and markets of Traitor’s Toll. Chase down and arrest the rogues, cheats and cutthroats that prey on the unwary, ensure the citizens don’t get too rebellious and uncover deeper plots that threaten the city…

       The bustling city of Traitor’s Toll is home to a multitude of merchants and travellers, buskers and charlatans, sorcerers and scholars, not to mention – hidden among them – pickpockets, thieves, smugglers and worse!
       The task of keeping the citizens safe, catching wrongdoers and dealing out justice falls to the city guard.

And today the first part of inboxing – City Guards!

• The set consists of 12 miniatures – which can be assembled from a huge number of parts – heads in various helmets, open, with visors, heads without helmets, etc.
• the same thing is with weapons – halberds, swords, two-handed swords, crossbows, bows, etc.
• and finally, accessories – keys, chains, ropes, lanterns, torches. There is even… a goose!

Gameplay is semi-cooperative. Both players control a Guard Captain and patrol of 5 guardsmen (28mm scale), who must deal with the many challenges hidden among the crowds.       
Such tasks might be capturing an escaped prisoner, battling a crazed wizard, locating a lost child, taking down a smuggling gang or investigating a mystery (Cityfolks next time of inboxing!!)

For now, I have assembled 9 Guards and the photos also show a comparison with other medieval-style models.

I invite!
