Looks interesting. What are your thoughts about the additional army lists, will you be making them available online or will they be published later in a supplement which we will need to purchase ?

My guess? The anticipation of a nice cold glass of lager/new wargame rules (delete as applicable)?

Not a Hobbit list, but there is a halfling list.  It has bee keepers in it.  And burglars.  And scarecrows.   :)

I can't wait to get hold of these rules, it's things like this that make these games fun.

Is there any plans to supplement this ruleset with expansions for stuff like historical battles? Coz that'd be cool  :)

Can't answer that, Hamish.

But as that was your first post.......Welcome to the forum !

Haha, no problem. I created my account specifically to ask some questions about Warband. I saw the Pendraken stand at Vapnartak a few weeks ago and was more that a little intrigued. Now, having searched through the forums, I'm extremely excited for this game, I think it sounds awesome. Me and my partner have already decided which Warband forces we're going to go for.

At this stage the best answer is potentially...!  It is something we'd like to do, probably as a separate standalone set though.

Hi Hamish and welcome!

Glad you're looking forwards to these rules.  I hope they exceed your expectations!    :-bd

As to future developments? I'm afraid I'll have to echo Leon, and repeat what I said above, 'we'll see'.

Warband is a new venture for Pendraken, and so things are all a bit tentative at the moment.  

That said, the author has a variety of further material that could be developed including content for a supplement.

It's also perhaps worth noting that if there were a 'Warband Historical' draft   :-B it would most likely be developed as a separate game, rather than as a supplement to the fantasy rules.  I'll hotly deny rumours that Scipio and Hannibal have been seen clattering around the play test tables lately.

I think its important not to get ahead of ourselves though.  

Hopefully Warband will keep you enthralled in the meantime!    ;)
