I've wanted to add to the total of the Nekharu 'Paladins of Despair' hand weapon and shield unit, but there was a mental block on how to convert more figures for it. Somehow I got a couple of the mancleaver troops converted up and painted on the spur of the moment. This unit's lore has expanded a little since that earlier post to include the fact that to join the unit a Nekharu must murder a current member of the unit- because that seems like something Paladins of Despair would do...
This one has a plastic shield and axe from one of the Reaper Bones Kickstarters. Since I always think of Nekharu as dirty scumbags usually with stolen equipment, I damaged the shield with my scalpel. To add to his outlaw nature I gave him this GW dagger with pouch on the back.
This guy has part of a GW plastic axe pinned to part of his mancleaver handle because it looked pretty good. His shield is from one of the Asar hand weapon troops. To give his back some more interest I added a plastic GW bit that seems to fit the unit theme.
Here's the slowly growing unit with standard and musician (also, the guy in the middle was originally built to be a Nekharu champion or hero, so he's the official unit leader).
And here these two Paladins of Despair have gotten the drop on Tebbi the Archer... OR have they fallen into Tebbi and Blackclaw's trap?
