The Ironfrost Shades. New Shade warband
Posted: Mon Jun 18, 2007 9:19 pm
Hey all.
Well, tomorrow sees the beginning of the WFB campaign season for my gaming group and we have decided to run an empire in flames campaign alongside our nemesis crown campaign.
We have to play with a warband that is the same race as our main force, and mine is Druchii (obvious really, being as I'm posting it here!). I managed to talk my group around to letting me use the new Druchii lists that this board has created and I've chosed the shade list.
I'll be up against, I believe; Dwarves, Undead and Beasts of Chaos.
I've chosen the shade list as I feel its the most appropriate list, I'm playing with a watchtower patrol force and as the only infantry units I can take are shades it made sense to me.
I've not worked out a history or names yet, other than to work out that my force is originally from the Ironfrost Mountains and bands of shades from the clans are used with the patrols on the Ironfrost Glacier.
Well, thats enough talking now, heres the proposed list.
Bloodshade - 110gc
Dagger, Crossbow pistol, sword
Clan Hunter - 55gc
Dagger, sword
Clan Hunter - 55gc
Dagger, sword
Clan Hunter - 55gc
Dagger, sword
Pack Master - 50gc
Dagger, Beastwhip.
3 Shades - 165 gc (55 each)
Dagger, Repeater crossbows.
Total - 490gc.
Well thats the list so far, I know the crossbow pistol is an odd choice, but I'm using the Menghil model and wan the band to be WYSIWYG.
Tactics wise, I'll move the band into position and use the shades to supress/cover whilst the characters engage in combat.
The beastmaster is there for an extra exploration dice unitl I can afford hounds.
On the topic of the beastmaster, can he start with the whip? I wasnt sure, so I've included it for the moment.
Well, thats about all. Any comments, suggestions or criticisms are welcome. I'll be playing my first games tomorrow evening so I'll check before I play to see if theres anything glaring.
I'll keep you all updated with the lists progress as well.
Cheers
Dan
