Batrachian Commerce


Petit Cote - After a long sea voyage imported items are brought ashore while the official inspector of the Batrachian Ministry of Commerce and Smuggling looks on to make sure the business is conducted appropriately and quietly in the dark of night and that the government gets its share of the import duties.

These look good . . . why am I not surprised?

Great to see you blogging again!
A very pleasant and original idea as the basis of this (beautiful) vignette.
I suppose the uniformed armed men are part of some official (military? paramilitary?) outfit? Would they be fielded in case of war -if the situation is desperate enough?

Compliments,
Jean-Louis

We still have much to discover in the League: but shall we begin to learn also about Batrachia?

Such a high quality has to be very slow - you can always use David's templates to share your ideas with us.

Best regads,
Jean-Louis

Thanks for the comments :-)

A lot of these vignettes and characters come to me while painting the minis so it's hard to make things up in advance using the excellent templates.

The guys with guns could be smugglers or could be agents of the crown. I guess they are some sort of merchant seamen who could come into play in coastal or naval actions. I don't have any plans to paint up a whole unit of them (nor the minis to do so), but there will definitely be more to come regarding Batrachia, the occasional nemesis of the League.
