Ross Jebson was one of this year’s Easter models from Wyrd. He’s an alt Slop Hauler, and may remind you of somebody. I’ve been watching Bob Ross videos with the kids, so I’m primed and ready to go. Of course, I had to have a happy tree, and a cabin. I didn’t exactly follow the prescribed technique, but I can do anything I want, so nice, so nice.

This was the first metal model out of Wyrd for a while. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it, though if it lets them do more small run models it’s worth it. Metal also lets you get away with some finer pieces, like the easel.
When I first buy into a skirmish game, I almost always pick up one extra model beyond whatever starter, for flavor. In this case, it was the Battlesmith on an Ibex. Who wouldn’t want a gnome on a goat?

The two player starter also included this cool relic marker. Sword! Crown! .. and a jug? Sure, why not?
The other side of the two-player box for Relicblade is the Adversary. Specifically, pigmen, a take on the barbarian. The box includes two copies of three distinct sculpts, with enough weapons to make each one unique. To help keep track of them on the board, each one got a different color for their shoulder pads.

While I like the models well enough individually. I must admit the Adversary side of the two player starter has a lot less character than the Advocate. On the other hand, the Adversary has more models outside the two player starter to choose from, so maybe it evens out.
