From AdamC: Fantasy Civilians and Dire Wolf (29 points)

Part of the Bones III set some civilian figures two dwarves, a halfling and a half orc. I imagine they are at or least near a tavern.

My favourite the brew master... who is doing a quality control check of the product. He's an old gray beard and probably dispenses wisdom with the ale.

With his armor and big hammer I figure he's probably an retired adventure who also provides security at the tavern.

The Dwarven butcher this odd fellow looks more like he's comforting a pig who has been threatened not the fellow who is going to turn him into pork chops

Look at that hug he's giving the pig... this is one strange butcher.

The halfling cook.  Perhaps he's the one who threatened the pig?  I like civilians doing civilian things and this guy is perfect.

I can just imagine a line of hungry patrons waiting for the soup from his copper pot.

This one is interesting one its a half ork merchant.  Not a roll most people would cast a half orc in.   Hes a bit of a dandy with his slashed sleeves and bright yellow codpiece.

Clearly he is taking advantage of his racial strength bonus to save on the over head of porters or mules.

Finally we have a dire wolf a very large miniature with lots of great texture for painting on his fur.

New to him is a regular wolf form Northstar I painted a few years ago.  You can see I've improved. You can also see he's huge by comparison. I'm not sure how to score this one.   The halfling is a little smaller than normal but the "butcher is almost two figures." Lets call the halfling a 20mm so for points the other three civilians are 25mm so that 15 points... then there is the pig maybe 2 more for him?   The dire wolf is quite big for the scale lets call it 7 points (scoring as at 40mm)?   if my suggestions are take the total would be 28 Points.  Robert I leave it to you to judge if this is fair.

Not only is the dwarf checking the quality of the brew, he seems a might displeased with the results! Must be a skunky brew?

The dwarf with the pig does seem an odd pose. Perhaps there was a spot of pig rustling preventing pork put on the menu? Certainly the pig does not seem all that concerned to be held by a dwarf wielding a meat cleaver.  

The halfling fellow looks like he belongs with the crew of the halfling hot pot:

Which does not exactly raise my faith in halfling cooking.

Is this half-orc merchant putting all his skills into Intimidation? "GROK SAY YOU BUY GOODS NOW!"

Enough chit-chat. Based on the Snowlord Wolf Accountancy Methodology, verified by Millsy to a p-value of 0.00034981, dire wolves get scored as 40mm (7 points). Now, the halfling may be small, but the half-orc balances, so that and the dwarves come to a wash of 20 points for 4 28mm figures. Animals score as 15mm figures, so there's another two for the pig, coming to a grand total of 29 points.
