The Mad Company of Poor Houses

"Not even the poor of Talabheim can escape the tithe of military service."

One of the most notable regiments in the service of House Hansaaker is the Mad Company.  The constant warfare in the Great Forest creates many dispossessed and they flock to the charity of the great families of the City.  The House Lord is generous with his gold, for it buys the gratitude of the common folk.  A ferociously loyal populace is a useful counterweight to the machinations of the nobility and burgomeisters- a lesson learned painfully in the past.  The Mad Company are recruited from the men driven to the brink of insanity by the tribulations of their past.  For simple meals, a blanket and a roof over their head- they will gladly launch themselves at the enemies of the House.  


A regiment of Flagellants.  

Probably not so effective in WH 8th Edition- but the models looked great.  I promise I will take them out on a 'test battle' soon.  







There are the old style flagellants to the rear- but I'm pleased to note that the two styles fit in together (mostly).
