Reeves of Orboros box set

Details :

Reeves know every inch of their native wilderness' streams and groves, for their survival rests on their instinct, cunning, and expert marksmanship as they hunt their lands. Armed with a powerful double crossbow that can punch through the thickest armor and can fire in rapid succession before reloading, Reeves bring their skills and weapons to bear against the enemies of Orboros.

Reeves of Orboros come in a box set of 6 (PIP 72026), and players may add up to two additional blisters (PIP 72027) to create a full unit of ten models. A player may have up to two units of Reeves of Orboros for every warlock in his Circle Orboros horde.

They look alright... While I love the idea of crossbows that kick ass, these look too bulky, and the one on the girl is too big in comparison to her own stature (as is her head).

...paint job is nice though

Well that makes no sense at all. "Reeve" is a political position basically equivalent to a Mayor.

Google makes research fun!

In the Beginning

The Sheriff began as an early form of English Law- Enforcement. During the Anglo-Saxon period, the basic units of society in England were groups of ten families which were called tithing. This group was lead by an elected leader known as a tithingman. Each group of ten tithingmen (Representing One Hundred Families), was another elected official who held the title of "Reeve". These men had the powers of both the police and the judge. The next Socio-Political unit up was the Shire, which we know as a "County". The Shire was headed by an appointee of the crown and was known as a "Shire-reeve".

The Shire-reeve/ Sheriff basically was the entire local government himself exercising Judicial authority and collecting taxes. In time, the Shire-reeve was relieved of his responsibilities and only had to be concerned with maintenance of law and order.

When a citizen had a crime committed against him, or knew of an offense, it was his obligation to raise a , "hue and cry", and citizens in the area were compelled to assist in the pursuit of the fleeing felon. The Shire-reeve accorded the group with the position of "posse comitatus" ( Power of the County), with the help of the tithingmen the posse would bring the felon to justice.

A few centuries later a new form of Law- Enforcement began when officers were employed to assist the Shire-reeve to enforce laws of the country. These Officers were known as ,"comes stabuli", or constable.

Around the thirteenth century the position of "Bailiff" evolved. He was responsible for maintaining a night watch inside the locked gates of the city. The Bailiff was a paid position, male who was over the age of sixteen and generally was untrained for their jobs.

Landholders, who were known as serjeants because they acquired their land through military service and were often called upon to assist the bailiff in his duties as their city would grow in size.

So they were the medieval equivalent of Judge Dredd...  Cool!
