drjsallison Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 A dung faction would work well: Dung Beetle Grunts: Dung beetle Adepts: A solo Monster(as these are found around dung): And of course, the Warlord: With a little effort, any faction is possible.

BTW, can any reaper peeps (when you get the chance) answer my initial questions? Any plans for more factions, and if not is Reaper will to consider adding? Maybe do a contest?

Reaperbryan Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 There will probably new factions introduced over the course of the game, although I think that having not yet completed release on the Faction books for the initial factions, this thread is a tad premature. OTOH, It's good to see what the fans want, so by all means, postulate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Would it be legal to discuss hoped for sublists on this thread, too? Or is it just for "maindeck" armies that aren't represented? Well, for me, I am totally enamored with the possibilities related to the Reptus. Just thinking about all the different types of snakes, reptiles, amphibians, etc there are in the world that could be used to broaden that line. water snakes, burrowers, poisonous, constrictors, strong jawed gators, showy finned lizards, basalisk types, newts, poison tree frogs, wart covered toads, salamanders, igauna types, .......... The list just keeps a going for me. As for something that would be new and different well, my first thought comes to felines but not sure if I would make them a complete new faction or just a sublist of something else. I do like the gorilla and lupine based factions though. The thoughts on the oriental stuff just doesnt appeal to me as much. The barbarian nomads I guess the same (even tho Sigurd is one of my favorite minis). I think there are so many ways to build out the current factions that I am not so much hung up on new factions: elves: eagle riders, deer riders, unicorns, fill out more centaur and satyr types, hybrid animal forest creatures, faeries, etc..., woodland catapults or tree traps dwarves: wormriders, bear riders, warthog riders, diggers, dog handlers, smithies, more griffin types, fire carriers necros: something to compliment the grave horror spawn: I guess this is the one where I see those dung beetles finding their way into., and admittedly there are several hybrid insect creature related possibles to put in here. ok thats enough thinking for now... I still say the biggest outlet is simply starting to port over the DHL stuff. There is a ton of good possibles already there to bring into Warlord.

Brushmaster Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I've been looking at some of Shadowforge's viking minis, and building an army around them... I've already got some for Mercs . The do great Amazons too !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokingwreckage Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 First up, I'd love to see rules for the DHL "factions". Second, I'd like to see an "all reptus" sublist wherein there are no snakemen, frogmen, assorted other amphibians. I LOVE to look and attitude of the reptus and would like to see monstrous creatures in the same thorny, hard-edges style. I buy minis that I like. Ever since I quit WH40K I have refused to buy minis I didn't like just because their stats were good or they were "needed", and while the various amphibians, snakemen, etc, may be well sculpted, none of these interests me in the slightest...... so I'd like a sublist of my very own, where everything is a freakin' big lizard with harsh scales and a lotta teeth :) I just love the hard, draconic look and texture of the Reptus. More, please! And no lizards with boobs in my sublist, you hear?!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseyjoe Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I agree. I really love the lizardy stuff, but am not so big on the rest of the reptus. I even constructed a big mean lizard to proxy as a krung beast (his pictures is up somewhere in show off). I like the dragon lizard stuff, but am not to big on the swamp critters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwyksilver Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I like the idea of a Northern Barbarian sublist for the Mercenary Faction. Base it off the Barbarian races in Howard's stories - Cimmerians, Picts, Asgar, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted August 25, 2005 Moderator Share Posted August 25, 2005 What sort of interest is there in an army of Seelie fae, to balance out the Moonscar Court's Unseelie? I've got some ideas, but I haven't fleshed them out yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twjolson Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 How about another human army, maybe a nation that is expanding to the war torn area of this world, something interesting though, not just a bunch of humans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakhak Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I really like where the game is heading actually. Each faction contains sublists, and I bet we see the same for Mercs and such. I've heard several people mention another human faction, and it's here already... Mercenarys are primarly human but have a nice variety. They are very different from the Crusaders, kind of rough, less noble, more greedy. It's a good mix. I'd like to see them broken down into Lupine and Barbarian sublists though. Reptus sublists that include an all Mongkahn(I believe that's what they call themselves) army would be awesome. Then make their cavalry ride shaggy swamp spiders. Some other underground army would be cool too. I guess I'm leaning towards elemental with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwydionGreen Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Doh! I almost forgot... I got a little piglet standing on his hindquarters playing a flute... a piglet playing a flute? getting too many primer fumes again? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
