Warband historical

[makebelievebkk]

IMO historical has been done and done again, and again, and again... and as much as I love it, i dont see a need for another rule set :p

Now, I would love to see more range of Warband armies and in particular a bridge between historical and fantasy. Historical armies with their mythical additions e.g. Greeks with cyclops, hydras etc. Vikings with wolves and frost giants - even gods and demi gods. I know there are some skirmish rules out there that cover this but not on the battle scale of Warband.

Also, more fantasy lists in general

 Armies of Myth and Legend, sounds like a Warband supplement to me!

I like this idea I have a hankering to do ancient Greeks hoplites V's Undead ala Jason and the Argonauts but on a big scale.
Also Vikings with ulfenwerner Vs Zombie hordes would be fun

Interesting idea.

Would a supplement with additional fantasy armies in be welcome?

For me 10mm scale is ideal in terms of space and storage requirements but Warmaster Ancients never quite felt right, especially where heavy cavalry seemed to dominate (just my humble opinion) so an Ancients version of Warband would be very welcome in my eyes, but I appreciate that it is a long way off.

Yes please. I never tire of writing army lists, or buying new figures for that matter

Cheers, Andy

If there are complete miniature ranges to go with army lists, Id want it.

Well as I have not yet played Warband maybe I am not the person to comment but I am all for a historical version. Reading through the command/control section and the rather neat movement and match up rules I straight away thought that here was a set that could work well for historical battles. Bring it on!

What about imagi-nations?

I'm tempted to throw myself into the foray of 10mm medieval (12th-15th century), but I don't have a particular affinity with a specific period, unlike napoleonics. I'm also unsure with which ruleset to go for, Hail Caesar or Warband, but I really did enjoy Warmaster. But wouldn't imagi-nations get the best of both? Creating a fantasy Grand Principality of Leondo to play against warband necromantic barbarians with their undead friends that ravage the countryside could be really interesting in of itself, and I for one would certainly be tempted.

Has anyone else seen the historical mythical lists for Hordes of the Things, e.g.. Greek myth, Japanese myth, Arthurian, Faerie Queene, Conquistador, Napoleonic (Mr. Norrel?), Victorian Science Fiction etc., etc. I wouldn't think it wouldn"t take too much effort to convert these to Warband if that's your thing. My own preference is for Da Vinci Italian, but I'm messing about with Maximilian for that, with 10mm figures on the 28mm size bases.

Definstely. If the ranges are there to support it
