-> Hailing from the squelchy plains of the Sunken Wastes, the Hedge Knights sally
-> forth in search of riches and glory. Clad in heavy steel, their shields
-> bearing the standard of their lord, a golden sun glowing on a field of argent and
-> azure. They share but one pair of boots between them - to which anyone who has lost
-> a shoe while trudging through the mud can attest! Their courage undaunted,
-> barefoot, they march ever onward.
-
-Our Mordheim campaign has long concluded. With my skaven warband quietly tucked
-away, I have moved on to other projects - as is often the case, too many.
-
-Have I mentioned we've been playing a lot of Cauldron?
-[Cauldron](https://hillgiant.bigcartel.com/product/cauldron){. .anchor}.
-
-But then a couple of members of the Strange Artifacts crew tried out
-[Greathelm](https://malev-da-shinobi.itch.io/great-helm-pt){. .anchor}, a
-skirmish game currently in development by
-[Malev Da Shinobi](https://www.patreon.com/malev){. .anchor}.
-Greathelm is a miniature agnostic game where you play a band of six knights on
-an extremely small, 8.5" x 11" battlefield. My friends seemed to have a great
-time playing, enough that some of them are already builing boards. So, I reviewed
-the rules and committed myself to a quick holiday project!
-
-Did somebody mention
-[Boglanders](https://shop.ramshacklegames.co.uk/66-boglanders){. .anchor}? As it
-turns out, I had five knight-like Boglander minis, between
-[Set #2, The King's Guard](https://shop.ramshacklegames.co.uk/home/682-boglander-set-.html){. .anchor}
-and
-[Set #6, Armoured](https://shop.ramshacklegames.co.uk/home/690-boglander-set-.html){. .anchor}.
-I had already based and primed them, so I was set? But wait, I need six models.
-I was in luck, I had an extra, duplicate model in the bits box. A little
-doctoring, cut off his head, et voila! I have my knights.
