Warband Rules!

[Leon]

I've grabbed the PDF...couldn't wait for the actual book to be shipped over to this side of the world but I will of course be grabbing a copy once the army packs are available.

Got the Pdf from Wargame Vault this morning. Will have a good read before deciding how to proceed but most likely to go for fantasy Italian Renaissance.

Knock on the door, it's the postman, and a lovely large envelope with Goblin and Hill Dwarf army packs and a copy of 'Warband'.  

Now the question is how to fit them into the painting schedule, it might be awkward but I am sure I will find a way.

Hi all, Hi Leon

apologies to all members for my recent absence. The Uni is my only excuse.

The rules look great and I will get a Hardcopy at Carronade (yes that is the beginning of an order, Leon).

Looking at the WGV preview I am wondering if you will make those bases with the dice insert available? Although I do not appreciate rebasing my Dark Elves (*shakes fist @ Leon) I shall see if a new Dark Elf Army is in order and of course they will need opponents. Also great job on the CWC, FWC and BKC rules. You keep finding ways to access my budget that I find strangely attractive 

See you at Carronade and will make sure to post my order in due time.

I'm still unsure about whether to get the rules.

On the plus side I don't have existing 10mm fantasy figures so I don't have the issue of using or potentially rebasing an Warmaster army. In fact the large 100mm bases are quite a plus for the modeller in me as I would enjoy making some nice mini diorama bases.

The downside for me with these and many other sets of rules is that I have limited playing space at home so a 6x4 feet table is just not possible for me. However I'm thinking that I could use unit bases of 40x20mm with a much smaller playing area, maybe 3x2 feet, but losing the chance to create some nice larger based units.

Hmm, decisions, decisions......

[fred.]

You could probably go with 60x30mm bases - these have a good area to arrange figures nicely.

Despite having 100s of warmaster based figures I would avoid 40x20mm bases if you would like nice looking bases - what looks good on 40x20mm bases is them crammed full of figures, which the Warmaster strips do very nicely, and then several of these together to make a unit. A few single 40x20mm bases will look a little lonely.

[AndyT]

Yes, good points.

60x30 bases would work on a 4x3 feet table, if I follow the 18x12 base width recommendation I've seen in the preview of the rulebook.

Thank you,
Andy

My book arrived this morning, thanks Leon!

Looks very good on my first read through, going over the rules
properly now and my appetite is thoroughly whetted.

When will the army packs be available?

What armies are in the book please?

Its in the FAQ.  http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,11265.0.html

  No ratmen, is there a date for any other races. Not to sound spoil and 12 i a really good number for starters.

Races beyond the initial 12 in the rules will be added in a supplement further down the line I'd expect.  Steve's done a lot of work already on more army lists, so it's in the works.

As for more releases, the Undead are being moulded at the moment, so within the next fortnight for those.  Then the High Elves arrived at Pendraken HQ yesterday, so those will be going into the moulding queue next.

havent read through the rules but im curious as to how the game plays is it large scale? or is a bit more skirmisher in a nature? the pictures make it seems smaller scale but other pictures make it look masive

[fred.]

There are relatively few stands in a 500 point game (around 10) but each stand has a lot of figures. It plays more like a battle than a skirmish.

And you can scale up to get more bases in a larger game quite easily.

You could use another list with ratmen figures...goblins seem a good fit.
