The Middenland Trading Company - a BTB Merchant Caravan

In our latest campaign i am playing a Merchant Caravan warband from the Border Town Burning supplement. It represents a Merchant and his employees on their way to cathay in order to open new trade routes, find some adventure and get rich in the process, of course .

Ladies and Gentlemen, i present to you the Middenland Trading Company:

The Caravan:




The Merchant Wilhelm Xanten and his Apprentice:


Knight Vanguard - both mounted and dismounted version:


Wizard and Sellsword:


The Marksmen:




The Trade Wagon - not quite finished yet, but playable:



The wagon is scratchbuilt, most of the men are from the empire militia set - with some bits and other models thrown in. The idea for the merchant model i shamelessly stole from this forum - but i forgot who inspired me

I hope you like them - i am keeping track of the campaign with some battle reports in the section of this same forum.

COOL STUFF! A FINE looking Band of Entrepeneurs; NICELY painted & very much in character. AND I REALLY like the way you did your Wagon; there IS a certain appeal to having a ONE OF A KIND piece. VERY WELL DONE!

Nice miniatures. I like your use of the Heroquest guy as the knight on foot. Who makes the horses?

All the horses are from Perry Miniatures, from their plastic American Civil War Cavalry set. The lower half of the riding Knight Vanguard is from that set, too. 12 riders sculpted by the perry brothers for 12 pounds, a very good set.

Those are nice and a good price. Thanks.

Nice! I like this warband a lot. Looks like a true merchant warband. It somehow reminds me of my own merchant caravan. Cool stuff.

Wow being a Merchant Player I think it looks beter than I could do and I love the fact that you used the somewhat new Empire Wizard box for your Warlock and the Knights Vanguard looks grate.Keep up the good work and kodos too you my fellow gambling,bargining,Merchant!

Great work! The warband is full of life and character. Love the attention to detail to make your Knight mountable too.
