There ended up being a little arms race in getting these two armies ready - I had overlooked the fact that I had 3 units of Human Lancers for the Good Guys and that the second unit of Elf spearmen that I was going to paint up needed stripping. This meant that having added a unit of Troll Slayers and adding in the cost of the third unit of Lancers (which also meant I could upgrade one unit up to an elite for having three or more of one troop type in the army!) that the Bad Guys were looking a little outnumbered.
Normally I wouldn't be too bothered but as this was a first play through and I wanted to try out as many combinations of troop types out as I could I decided to level the playing field by adding two packs of Hounds to the baddies - should be a good counter to the enemy cavalry looking at their stats and the Pack Hunter ability - more of which later.
So as promised - the Bad Guys!

ReplyDeleteComing up - slowly but surely!
Deleteaaaarrrggghhhh...stop it you guys! I must not be tempted by another scale/game/army/shinny bit....must stay focused!
ReplyDelete...but you guys sure make this look cool...If I get into smaller scale I'm blaming you and Gareth!
Question...how bit of a playing surface do you need for warmaster or similar games?
Haha - shall I go on some more about how satisfying it is to paint two entire armies in a week... ;)
ReplyDeleteBrent reccomends that for playing Mayhem in 10mm you can make your board as small as 24 inches square and 15mm 24 - 48 square inches. The Warmaster rules recommend that you depliy your forces 20cm deep into the table and 80cm away from the enemy's deployment zone. I suppose the width of the table is down to how bg your armies are.
