Is anybody out there? If so, what armies are you playing with?

Frequently. Out of the 12, I have:
Hill Dwarves
Barbarians
Gobbos
Hugh Elves (Like High Elves, but more polite)
Dark Elves
Taurians
Vampire based Undead
Eldrich Undead (underway)
Dragon men (x2, one good under construction, one evil)

Various on my reports are scattered across this board and my blog: https://madlemmey.blogspot.com/2019/03/10mm-warband-search-for-treasure-dark.html

No fish armies though...

Shouldn't they be a navy, really?

I've got many pikes in various armies.

Nothing like a fish army to tip the scales.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I have trouble "FIN"ishing my armies, I suppose most of us can tell that "TAIL".

Mrs Orcs does not nag me about the time I spend on them, I suppose she knows her "PLAICE"

( I hope she does not read this otherwise I will be GUTTED)

What's it worth not to tell her, Mark ?

Absolutely Nothing, Zero, Zilch.

Mrs Orcs is an absolute diamond. She never complains about the amount of time I spend in my Den Painting, or doing wargames stuff. If she has been out she call out "are you in the usual place",as she expects me to be there. She also tell me to go and paint, and has already asked if I have sorted the figures to take to Florida in a couple of weeks, so I can paint by the pool.

So far this year I have had about a dozen all day games, and a game almost every Friday evening.  last week I had two day games and a Friday night game, so I cannot complain at all.

Sounds like Mrs Orc is a diamond  :D

Thanks for the replies folks ... the title of the post was really to see what I might 'catch' by way of Warband players ... and I am fishing for insights

I'm afraid I am a 28mm Warband player - don't tell Leon or he'll drum me off the forum - I have the following Warband armies:

1). a Mordor Orc (plastic GW LotR orcs + cave trolls and spiders) - which plays as a Goblin (to their huge disgust)

2). a 'Feral' Elf army (metal Foundry Nymphs and Copplestone/Grenadier Wild Elves) - that plays as an Elf army

3). a Rohan army (again GW plastic LorT figures) - lots of nice charging horse etc.

4). and finally a Beast man (or should I say Beastwoman) army which is metal and is mostly 28mm Maidenhead Miniatures (from Australia) ... the 28mm massive Woolly Rhino and crew were what drew me to build it ... I picked it up on a Bring & Buy at a show cheaply and then spent a fortune importing the rest of the army to match.

The Orc is however by far the most successful on the table - that 'exploding' Shaman is a killer ... liturally.

I was just wondering what makes other Warband players like the game so much?

The fact it is hilarious, always gets a result and always produced a good narrative for me (especially when my regular opponent with a +2 general never gets his troops moving)!
