Description After this, I'll be drawing some ink sketches of historical figures and people involving Appleby Castle in Cumbria so this will likely be my last Fantasy, sci fi, or fan sketch for a little while, so I thought I'd close with a bang.  Here are four redesigned iconic units from Warhammer Fantasy on the side of Order.

1) Dwarf Warrior - We Dawi have stood for countless centuries against those who would uproot us from our homes.  Urgs, the Dark Gods, even our own traitor bretheren have seen us as weak and cowardly, hiding in our halls of stone beneath the mountain.  Ha!  Fools.  Clearly they don't know us as well as they think, for we never forgive any slight, any treachery or wrong, no matter how small.  We record them all in the Dammaz Kron, our great book of grudges, and won't rest until every one of them is settled, no matter what stands in our way.

2) White Lions-Royal guards of the Pheonix King since Caledor I - The Elves once were the pinacle of civilisation, alongside the Dwarves of course, our people once ruled an empire that spanned much of the Old World and beyond, and were the first to beat back the forces of Chaos under the leadership of our first Pheonix King, Aenarion the Defender.  Since then though we have become fractured, divided and almost broken.  Some of our bretheren follow the evil Malekith, the Witch King of Naggoroth and others still linger in our old colonies in self imposed exile in the woods.  But here in Ulthuan we endure, and maybe one day the Asur will be united once more.

3) Empire Great swords - Among the nations of Men the Empire of Man is by far the greatest and the strongest.  Since Holy Sigmar united us the old human tribes against the vile Greenskin hordes, the Empire has stood vigilant and strong against those who sought to destroy and corrupt both us and the rest of our race.  We Great Swords are among the Empire's finest, seasoned veterans who have fought and bled for Empeor Karl Franz and the provinces of the Empire in many a bloody battle.  Armoured in plate steel, wielding mighty swords of great size and versitilty, we stand with our brothers against whatever threatens our homes, be it Orc, Undead, Chaos, Skaven or anything else, they will meet their demise on the ends of our blades.

4) Grail Knights of Bretonnia - (I personally don't like how Bretonnia has basically nerfed its technology just because "HONOUR!" and "Chivalry".  Hate to break it to you, but real Mediaeval knights wore plate.  You can be as backwards as you want, but unless your idea is to get shot to pieces by Empire handgunners, blown apart by canon, impaled on pikes, shot with longbow arrows and crossbow bolts, not to mention what Chaos is going to do with you, upgrade your gear Bretonnia!  That is why I've given him plate armour (an outdated 14th century type to keep with the athsthetic.)

Not since the time of Magnus the Pious has such an alliance been seen!
