New player here both to Warlord and to the Reptus. I played my first game against Mercenaries with mostly a lupine bend and did fairly well taking out all the models and still having over a quarter of my force left. My roster went something like this:
Khong-To
T'kay (No Spells, didn't know that you had to buy them separatly but didn't do too bad as an expensive grunt)
3 Archers
5 Warriors
Audt
3 Skull Breakers
4 Warriors
facing
Lupine Lord
Lupine Shaman
4 Ragers
Sigurd
5 warriors of some kind
Minotaur of the Maze
The lists are likely off because I don't have my book here with me. Really like the game and look forward to playing more and getting all the rules and quirks of the game down. I had been using reptus figs for a D&D game so I had a good base to start from. I currently have:
Khong-To
T'Kay
Audt
Ssathus
Ssudai
12 warriors
3 breakers
3 archers
river troll
So I do have a good base to work from. The Reptus look awesome and have a solid core to work from. What we need to keep in mind is that the last faction book usually has the best stuff in it so it'll be worth the wait.
Big thanks to Castlebuilder for answering all my initial questions and peaking my interest in Warlord.
