Y’all… I think I really like Quar. Once the starter box gets here and I get the little guys painted up, I’m gonna post some battle reports and talk about the game a bit.

How can you not be charmed by these little anteater guys? I mean, look at those snouts, and the sad little way they look to the ground. Just gotta get some games and feel it out!

This Quar's tank

I've started a tank for the Quar's War. It's mostly done already, but it still needs that flower and some numerical designations I think.

Maybe some weathering.

Coftyran Cryfen LMG Rhyfler. It's quite nostalgic painting heavy metal minis again, which is largely why I'm doing "normal" bases instead of fancy 3d printed ones

The Coftyr half of my Quar Clash of Rhyfles box is built, and as a little bonus I converted a Tractor Tank for them out of a Chibi Sherman model kit that's been sitting in my backlog for a long time.

For reference, these tanks look like this:

I think this will be a fine proxy, and it fits in the starter box with all the other models! To balance it out I bought 3 extra anti-tank infantry and 3 heavy machine gunners for the Crusader side. Next step is to get everything painted!

I also want to credit Trellia both as inspiration and as a reference for these different styles. This was also true of the first one as well, and I thought I had credited her but I hadn't.

There are probably a few things McGoohan did that doesn't land him on a "Weirdo" or "Cult classics" or "Forgotten B-movies" watchlist. But this one really makes me think maybe that grumpy old man who is supposed to terrorize everyone who disturbs him mulling over a book in a bar at 6 a.m. is actually just a simple Irish guy living in a not so simple world.

i love using tags like mysterious footnotes. they complete my thoughts, are necessary to fully understand my posts but are never indispensable. it's a feature no other social media sites have so like thanks tumblr for that

Quar!

When I was a teen, my folks took me to a wargaming convention and there was this booth for a smaller company called Zombiesmith. I loved the books and art for the Quar line, picked up some, the signed rulebooks, and sat on them for over a decade.

Now, with the recent Wargames Atlantic collaboration? Acquisition? Whatever, Quar is something I've seen around on the 'net recently. So, I've dug out my old Coftyrans and given them a modern coat of paint. Here's a Rhyfler

[skelegun]

This weekend I painted some of my Quar! Since most people probably haven’t heard of Quar, I’ll give some Quar Lore. The Quar are a species of leathery anteater like creatures who are basically like us, except technologically they are at roughly WWI levels. Their species has been fighting the Long War off and on again since times immemorial at the whims of their ruling elite.

These four Quar are Coftyrans. They come from the proud and ancient empire of Coftyr, and consider themselves the last bastion of traditional Quar values. They go into battle in fancy uniforms and armed with finely crafted though usually outdated weaponry.

From a war gaming perspective, I rather like their rules and the way their equipment looks, most of their guns are bullpups. Despite being the “old school” faction, they were also the ones to invent SMGs, which is neat and helps prevent them from being flanderized. I also like the way their squads are set up. It’s an NCO with a SMG, 8 dudes with bolt action rifles, and a one guy with a LMG. That’s a solid set up that was pretty common IRL up through WWII and beyond for many countries. Officers are equipped with a pistol and sword which also based as hell.

These guys are Crusaders. They are basically Trotskyites from my interpretation of the lore. The Crusade is an international movement that aims to end the Long War by force, and to smash the ancient class based system that dominates Quar society. They started as a small band of rebels and have since turned into a well oiled martial machine, for a while it seemed they had the royalists on the ropes, but now their advance has stalled and cracks are starting to appear in their facade.

From a war gaming perspective their rules seem kinda strange and at odds with their lore. Like they are supposed to be logistical geniuses who favor innovative tactics, but their standard squad is really goofy. It’s a sergeant with a semi automatic rifle, and three teams consisting of 2 with guys semi automatic rifles and 1 guy with a “heavy rifle” (which seems to be a semi automatic anti-tank rifle with a bayonet). It’s a strange squad composition that IRL would get pinned down and shredded by the coftyran squad’s automatic weaponry. Also their officers use these like handcrafted heirloom shotguns which seems at odds with the lore of them being a hyper utilitarian classless faction.

Short!

I started building my Quar last night, I don't know what I was expecting but these guys are tiny! Here's a Space Marine for scale. The Quar bases are also shorter than the GW bases, but still.

And here's a Grot for scale as well. I built my 12 Crusaders, next I'll work on the Coftyr half of the starter set. All 24 models should easily fit in the box with the rule book and accessories it comes with.

I'm looking forward to painting these dudes, they should paint up really quickly.
