The Quar are a remarkable labour of love, awkward yet martial anteater-like creatures embroiled in an unending dieselpunk war for control of the destiny of their home planet of Alwyd. With a style best described as "grimsical", they occupy a unique niche in the miniatures wargaming world, and deserve to be better-known. And since nobody talented was doing anything about it, it was time for mediocrities like me to step up to the plate. I'm obviously unskilled and untrained, and it's my fervent hope that people who've surmounted the low bar of greater competence than me are inspired and/or horrified by ineptitude to the extent that they produce Quar-related content infinitely superior to my crude efforts.
In the interim, this video explores the recent history of Coftyr, the great and oft-imperiled standard-bearer of the Royalist cause on Alwyd. The astute listener will notice I mispronounce several words, and first of all, let me assure you: I went through a jillion re-recordings getting rid of all the even worse ones, and secondly: I'm a reader, not a talker, and I think you can see (or hear) why.
You can learn more about the marvelously-detailed world of the Quar and get free PDFs of miniatures wargaming rules for the currently extant lines of 28mm, 15mm and 6mm miniatures from Zombiesmith at rhyfler.com/.
