For the [Warfork Fantasy Battles] New Year's resolutions 2025 - The Battle for Arduthrond Glade project, I also need two unit of spearmen. The two units are assembled and based (on metal bases from Products for Wargamers). The models are all from Mirliton's Goblin range. In good old school fashion, there aren't that many different models, so I mixed spear and hand weapon armed models, and then did some minor conversions (mostly weapon swaps).
Despite the different equipment, the unit is considered armed with spears and a 6+ save, which I bought points wise as shields. Not all models actually wear spears or shields, but there is also a lot of light armour to be seen (same basic save), and I go with the 3e apporach:
Many players prefer to assemble a force in which every model is different, which means every model is differently armed and armoured of course! This is acceptable – it is simply assumed that every model has an average amount of armour and carries the weapon most commonly represented.
For most of the converted models, I still need to hide gaps and bare paper clips, or strengthen the connection of paperclip and weapon heads, with putty.
