Last Saturday, FR1DAY and I teamed up to take on Uryens in a 5000-points mercenary vs mercenary Treachery and Greed campaign battle. In Ackworth.
This is the hall Padre hired, and my sidekick FR1DAY inspecting our troops.
This is the rest of the hall. Our opponent Uryens can be seen on the far right, avoiding the fearful glare of the camera lens.
Jamie's ogres, including large rhino things.
Padre's greenskins and neat tankard. No idea what that wooden thing is.
I forgot to take pictures of the other guys' armies, but I'm sure Padre took some.
The allied mercenary army. This is FR1DAY's half.
I think his army list was something like this:
General: unknown equipment
wizard Lord: magic carpet, squid tattoos
(spells: fireball, firestorm, glittering cloak, golden blades of whoever)
Ogre captain: HA, brace of handguns, privateer's sabre, troll elixir
Captain: warhorse, HA, Sh, ogre blade
28 pikemen: Command
30 Marauders: HA, command
10 Marauders: GW
10 Marauders: GW
10 Halberdiers
10 halfling archers
4 Ogres: GW, Musician
9 knights: command, ranalds banner
6 Border Horse: LXBow
5 Border Horse: Javelins, musician
5 Border Horse: Javelins, spears, shields, musician
Mortar
Ribaudequin
8 brigands with LXBow
2 x 10 skirmishing longbowmen
No battle standard, because he misread the army list and thought you had to take a carroccio to use one.
And this is mine.
Lords Condottiere squid tattoos, shield of Myrmidia, privateer's sabre,
potion of excessive speed, pistol
Tactician, stubborn
Sorcerer Lord Level 4, panda pelt, magic carpet.
(spells: doom and darkness, occam's mindrazor, soulblight, aspect of the dreadknight)
Heroes Carroccio
Core 30 Condotta Soldiers pikes, command
25 Dwarf mercenaries dwarf pikes, command, banner of Ranald
(Condottiere's retinue)
10 Condotta Marksmen arquebuses
10 Condotta Marksmen arquebuses
24 Condotta Soldiers command
10 Knights command, full plate, barding, lances
10 Border Horsemen command
Special 10 Halfling Rangers light crossbows
Horse Artillery
Mortar
Mortar
Great Cannon
Rare Ribaudequin
Hopefully, Uryens will post his army list.
Deployment:
We went for a solid infantry line across the battlefield, with the cavalry on the flanks (all the heavy cavalry on the right flank). I didn't use my 'tactician' special skill (which would allow me to re-deploy two friendly units), since there didn't seem to be any point.
Uryens' scouts took the tower. My hobbits claimed the woods.
You can see my baggage train looking scenic in the bottom right corner, next to the mortars.
The battlefield, post vanguard moves.
It occurs to me now that we forgot that all troops have to maintain a 1" distance from each other now. Oh well.
To be continued!
