The Restrained Slayers (Part 1)

While assessing my small (no pun intended -for once) selection of Warhammer Fantasy Dwarves (or "Dwarfs" as GW prefers) I noticed that the only Slayer models I have are the ones from the Battle of Skull Pass set, of which, I have acquired a hand-full. Specifically I have five of the tied up guys and two of the running guys that are holding double axes. 

This slayer was NOT painted by me. 

While reading through the Old World rules, the part regarding testing for restraint to prevent your unit from racing after an enemy unit whom you've just  beaten in combat, I couldn't help but imagine that these tied up slayers,  are,  literally, the models of restraint. Then I thought, "hey, they're slayer models right? Why not base them up and use them as such. 

Examples of restraint. 

They'll end up in the 2nd rank of this unit while the two guys I have running forward with this axes held high will be front rank models. 

Also NOT painted by me. 

I was able to find a musician and standard to go into the front rank, but I have yet to find a champion that I like, or one I like that falls within my budget.  That quest continues....


What a crazy crew! 

...I did pick up this guy, who I think will make a good addition to this force.  

 

We need to  bring these pants back into style. 

 I paid more money for that one model than all of the ones above. I think this is the lowest budget unit in my entire collection. And that's not a complaint! 

Restrained and holding the line.
