I look forward to the day your able to cast all your before game spells. It will truly make a glorious battle.

I like the idea of maybe facing two war bands at the same time, but it sounds like the games are still fairly even. Even with your high level. It could be good maybe with some kind of mechanic like an under dog bonus, so that if you faced a higher level warband you got more gold or exp.

I think you should start a new band Rufus! Don't want to be getting any waac reputations

There's no level limit! But my warband is already maximized, short of every soldier having a magic item. Fighting two warbands at once would lead to my immediate defeat, since numbers count in this game! Also, the levels I spent on improving 'write scroll' probably shouldn't count, since I've written a total of two scrolls so far.

Yes, it would be nice if all my out of game spells succeeded at once!

I did suggest my opponent take some extra EXP from the game. I'm not sure if he actually did.

I think I'll start again as a chronomancer. Unless someone agrees to play my high-level band again next time!

The limit on warband numbers, the number of actions available per turn, and that the soldiers have limits as well, plus the D20 does mitigate the Levels difference somewhat - unlike Mordheim.

I was sure I had seen Level 20 as some sort of 'marker' - maybe it was a suggestion for a campaign victory.

You should try a heavier scenery table rufus - there's way too much visibility on your boards.

In a lot of ways, I prefer it to Mordheim.

Early picture of the cultist sprue:

Cool, I might kitbash these with Mantic ghouls or something for a regiment with more variety.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #280 on:** October 17, 2015, 10:15:45 AM »

There are some undead parts on the cultist sprue. I don't know if mantic parts would be compatible, but maybe.

Well, there's the optional 'transcendence' victory: learn all the spells of your school, then learn and cast the transcendence spell and move beyond the physical realm! Otherwise there's no limit on levels.

The terrain thing is outside my control since I play in a shop!

It's plastic so cutting and gluing is not much of an issue. I just wanna get a few arms and heads in there to give a ghoul regiment some unity.

Gneisenau · « **Reply #282 on:** October 17, 2015, 03:06:51 PM »

The weapons also look as if they'd fit nicely in a Mantic ghoul unit.

I'm pretty sure this is guaranteed. North Star offered a pack of Mantic zombies to go with this game, which tells me that even they think the scales are compatible.

Apparently there are pictures of 'rangifers' on the secret ordering page, but I can't see them because I've backed the nickstarter through the shop I go to rather than directly, so don't have a code.

The Red Graf · « **Reply #285 on:** October 20, 2015, 03:38:01 PM »

Those of you that have built up your warbands to the higher levels, do you still use thugs and thieves are have they all been replaced? I am getting ready to send off some models to a painter for a new warband and some of them are armed as lower level fighters. I don't want to have a cool mini that I can't use a few games into a campaign.

I don't see anything like a range finder in the secret shop.

No, I don't use thugs and thieves in my advanced warband. Once you have the money, it's best to replace them with treasure hunters or rangers. But it depends how well you do in the campaign - if you suffer losses and can't afford to replace them, you might need to hire the cheaper soldiers.

Oh. Maybe there isn't then!

I think the 'rangifer' is some sort of caribou monster.

There's a set of "Evil" counterparts for the metal Soldiers from the first release. The Rangifer is one of them - Beatman with Antlers.

If you have the code - then you have to click on the first offer - 'DEALX' £36 and there are images for most of the figures.

The Red Graf · « **Reply #289 on:** October 20, 2015, 05:52:44 PM »

Oops, my bad. I misunderstood you. Now I see the beastie, he is actually quite cool. Are we allowed to post pictures of the Nickstarter stuff? If so I will post it.

Review of the lichlord book! Well, more of a preview.

Annoyingly, it's not out for another month.

Beastman with antlers? You mean an actual beastman or do you mean the Forsworn from Skyrim? They are beasts in Merskin.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #292 on:** October 26, 2015, 04:47:48 PM »

No, it's a beastman.

£2000 off the next target in the Nickstarter

For a free wraith .......... or floating cloak

The Rangifer won't be out until late November - it's not part of the first Lich Lord release.
I quite like the look of the Javeliner - he's apparently a standard soldier.

Too bad they still want creditcards and I also haven't sold my Misty Rainforest Expedition yet.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #295 on:** October 26, 2015, 06:09:28 PM »

I hope they hit the next target. I want the floating cloak.

Did you 'pledge' then - I thought you were very selective with your purchasing?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #297 on:** October 26, 2015, 10:38:01 PM »

Yes, I did the level 3 pledge. Though it's through the shop I play at, and they didn't want the money upfront.

The Red Graf · « **Reply #298 on:** October 27, 2015, 04:12:32 AM »

Northstar has put this up on LAF so I guess it's fair game now.

Midaski · « **Reply #299 on:** October 27, 2015, 10:32:23 AM »

You get two of the Rangifers apparently in the set - not sure if it is a duplicate or two different versions.

Some great pics on FB
