172. Warlord. and 173. Warpriest. Like the last two, this weekend's pair consists of one piece invented by someone else, and a rotary counterpart created by myself.
The Warlord comes from Jason Wittman's (rather underrated) game Mad Chess. It makes a (1,2) leap like a Knight, or leaps three spaces orthogonally.
The Warpriest also can make the (1,2) leap, but instead of leaping orthogonally it leaps three spaces diagonally.
I've included the Warpriest in my game Rotary Chess, alongside several other rotary additions I've created, and while some of the others (like Sniff and Mongoose) are somewhat less powerful than their brethren, the Warpriest is surprisingly formidable.
I think, on the whole, that the models came out fairly well.
