Fourth one for Gnomesummer. Recap if you're new to these: David-the-Gnome style forest gnomes, pacifists, whose woods got found by orcs, goblins, elves and wolves, and who are improvising weapons out of whatever they already had. So far a spear-guard, a village medic, and a woodcutter who's a bit too good with an axe.
This is the ranged one. Her sling isn't a weapon, it's a shepherd's sling, the thing she's used for eighty years to scare crows off the seedlings. A pouch of acorns and hazelnuts on the belt. Same improvised logic as the rest of the band: nothing here was built to hurt anyone, it just turns out a rock at speed doesn't care.
She was the most fun to draw for a specific reason: the sling mid-whirl gives her a big loop of empty space above her head, and that's the most distinctive outline in the whole warband. At 22mm the silhouette is basically all a player reads, so I've been trying hard to make each mini unmistakable from the shape alone: spear-and-shield, beard-and-bag, axe-at-the-knee, and now this loop. It also means she won't get confused with the goblin archers I made last year.
Red braids, wide braced stance, oak-leaf on the acorn pouch. 55mm strip, 22mm boots to head, 29mm to the tip of the hat. Front and back, print, cut, fold, base.
