Description The full story Richard “Sharpey” Pointer – Sharpshooter Rogue Richard Pointer was born and raised in Baldur’s southernmost settlement of Sudshore, military service was nigh mandatory for the Drylanders near Sudd Tohst’s border, with only the weak and infirm seeing exception for service. Elsewise, all men were forced by order of the crown to undergo a two year stint in the regiments, posted along the border – one of the more bloody stations in Baldur. Whilst those at the Ukrondian border might see occasional attacks by insurrectionists or Orc war parties, Sudd Tohst’s border was a constant uphill battle. Smugglers aided by warbands or mages, blasting through Baldur’s defences and firing line. Beyond that, the border saw regular attempts by outlaws to cross between, usually Baldurian outlaws fleeing into the lawless lands of Sudd Tohst. Attacks by brigands and violent flocks of refugees were also common, those trying to leave the ravages of Sudd Tohst’s many inner-conflicts by any means necessary. Through all this, the border hardened men into calloused tools of war before they held twenty summers to their name. Richard, or “Sharpey” as he’d come to be called by his regiment, had seen more action than the majority of soldiers within Baldur’s armed forces; officers in padded armchairs in Grimhelm knew nothing of the hell endured by the grunts at the borders. When a large Orc warband decimated the Ukrondian border defences, Richard’s company along with the majority of the Drylands regiments were brought under the command of General Alexei. At the Closed Fist Mountains the Baldurian forces collided with a blood hungry warband that knew neither fear nor pain, whose lack of self-preservation and nigh-endless numbers made them the deadliest foe any in Baldur’s army had faced. When the battle had finished the Orcs had fought to their last, and two-thirds of the Baldurians that met them had perished, and thousands more were wounded. The carnage broke the minds of most men there, for such bloodshed and savagery had never before been seen. Any who might’ve held abolitionist views rescinded them that day. General Alexei, a local to Veinril, was openly infuriated at high command and the crown for their inaction and inability to provide aid during the ordeal, citing nothing but repulsement for letting the Drylander contingents be thrown to the meatgrinder. Days after, the King insisted that General Alexei and the veterans have a parade in their honour in the capital of Grimgate. It was here that he devised his plot for a military coup, to overthrow the Crown and instill a military led junca in Grimgate, and introduce reform for the nation. The coup, instigated by General Alexei and backed by the Drylander regiments, ultimately failed. Alexei was killed and the Drylander soldiers that backed him were either killed in the fighting, or by firing squads shortly after. Sharpey, who had vehemently believed in the cause, barely escaped his own death when it became clear that their revolution had been cut short. Falling in with a group of locals who he had been posted with back at the border, he was able to escape the firing squads, masking his Drylander features and slipping into the slums. It was here that the group found company in the Underkeepers, a local gang who was quick to notice the group of failed rebels. Pleading empathy to General Alexei’s cause, they explained their own, which quickly convinced Sharpey and his friends to pledge their allegiance there, for the flag of Baldur was now stained in tyranny. With the Underkeepers, Sharpey had one more chance to see his comrades avenged. Exceptional Quality Our models are conceived on paper and then bought to life as concept art by our dedicated arts team. These concepts are then passed on to our sculptors who meticulously create the stunning models we offer. 32mm and 75mm variants Whether its tabletop adventures, or having a larger canvas to paint, we ensure we supply both 32mm and 75mm of every model and base. Presupported Supports can be tricky. We’ve always found the best way to learn is to try and try again. However we understand adding supports isn’t for everyone. That’s why all our models have pre-supported and un-supported variants.
