Back to Blognia - Peasants and Vampires

 Right then, more Blognians!

The great majority of Blognians are part of the rural peasantry. Despite the modernising efforts of the Duchess, most of the population remains in the countryside. The peasantry remain friendly and welcoming - provided you are also a peasant, and preferably a blood relation of marriable age.

Many peasants are the retainers and bondsmen of their liege lords and, even if not literally owned by them anymore, remain touchingly and stupidly loyal to their feudal masters. As well as the traditional crafts of moustache-growing and vendetta, the peasants also help the undead with tasks that cannot be carried out by creatures who avoid the sun and have no reflection. That said, in these tumultuous times, some peasants have banded together to overthrow their vampiric masters. Vampire-hunting is big business in modern Blognia, and the peasants want a stake in it.

Here are three peasant fighters. They're made from Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago crewmen. I cut the hand of the bearded man and turned it a little, to open the model out a bit, but otherwise they're unconverted.

And this is an old metal GW Strigoi vampire model. It's got weirdly little feet and is in a slightly strange position, but the face is cool and I like this rather feral style of vampire.

And here is a whole unit of peasants, or possibly brigands, equipped for some kind of uprising. I'm surprised how colourful they are: that wasn't my original plan, but what the heck. I rather like it.
