just planning to start

[SilverDrake]

Actually I would hold off on getting cavaly until you feel you are ready for a faction book. Faction books are optional but they are ment to change the way you play your faction so you might be caught off gaurd with just how much one model will change your game.

 

 

Well you're probably right, but in the other Tabletops is play i did also start with all the rules (ok except Whfb) and i think it's better and im also planning to buy the faction books right away, and reaper is not easy to get in germany, so i thought better order everything at the beginning to avoid problems, or getting the thing dropping in other months ;)

 

So if you could build me a little cavalry unit (3-4) models would be totally cool) I'd be more tha happy ;), also i'd like a counterpart (no cavalry) for necropolis to it if there is any i mean ^^.

[vutpakdi]

The Thing about cavalry is i'd like to have some, because aof luring other players from the beginning to play the game with me ^^ and getting them started too, and I think it would be an advantage, so i'd like to have some tips vor a cavalry unit of crusaders, and perhaps something else for necropolis, because ther i only like one cavarly modell ;), perhaps something that looks impressing and would also be a good backup for necropolis, well at least acceptable ^^

 

So this would be a good choice for the beginning, and playable too?

 

If you don't have the Ivy Crown Archers, you don't really need Sir Conlan right now.

 

If you do want to get a unit of cavalry for your Crusaders, Sir Danel (leader), with 2-3 Heavy Cavalry minis, and either Lady Devona or Isarah would be a good choice.

 

For the Necropolis, the Bone Horror or the Grave Horror are impressively big monster solos.

 

If your local store has all of these and you don't get a discount for making a big purchase, you still might want to go with the bare minimum (deluxe set and 2 faction books) to help guide the rest of your purchases. A lot of recommendations will come down to individual styles of play (one of the fun things about Warlord).

PS: A cavalry unit for Necropolis would be Sir Gadrun leading 2-4 Deathriders.

The cool Thing is i'll get a descent discount (at least 10%) :) but for show purposes (remember i'll have to get myself opponents out of the club there no one (ok i didn't found anyone in northern germany) is playing warlords. So I think it would be best for the beginning to have cavalry, archers and normal troops as well as magic/relgion in the armys. I'll go look around the shop and make a new to buy list :)

 

for the moment thank you for your efford ;)

 

Edit:/ I've got a to buy list:

 

14185 : Bone Horror

14213 : Lady Devona

14231 : Heavy Cavalry

14226 : Sir Danel

14134 : Ivy Crown Archers (3)

14208 : Garr, War Dog

14114 : Templar Ironspines

14101 : Skeletal Archers (4)

14148 : Railor

14037 : Sir Conlan, Lightbringer

25005 : Faction Book: Crusaders

25003 : Faction Book: Necropolis

16510 : Deluxe Army Box, Warlord Starter Set

 

I think it's pritty finally :) Im also happy with it i've got Archers, charakters, a big monster and cavalry, concluding i've got the whole spectre of the game, and Because i need to draw other palyers it 'll be good (at least i think ^^)

 

Still i'm open for tips and suggestions ;)

[urion]

The Nefsokar, the Egyptians, have a Faction Book coming out next month that has a sub-list made of fast cavalry with some special rules thrown in. The Overlords, the slavers, also have a Faction Book coming out a little later and they have some nasty heavy cavalry that look very scary. I would suggest that you wait a little before you decide on which armies' cavalry you want to use. It will help you get acquainted with the rules first and you will have more selection in a few months, but I hear that the crusaders have some neat cavalry so its up to you.

[Qwyksilver]

That would be a pretty good start. It may not produce the most tactically sound army builds, but it will definitely draw people's attention and give them a chance to see a lot of the various troop types available in the game.

 

If it wasn't for all the extra cost of shipping and the like, I'd say just buy the starter box and faction book first to get a feel for the game, then start supplementing, but I recognize your reasoning behind the models you're choosing and the desire to save some money (who doesn't like that). You've gotten a good variety and some visually captivating models.

 

G = Good, N= Neutral, E = Evil

 

The Elf faction book is slated for the last triad of Faction books. Currently available are Necropolis (E), Reven (N) and Crusaders (G). Nefsokar (N) should be out in the not to distant future. Overlords (E) is in Playtest with new models being released which typically means a release of the book within a couple months, and following that will be Dwarves (G).

 

The final trilogy of Faction books will be Elves (G), Reptus (N) and Darkspawn (E). I do not recall the release order for them at this time.

[urion]

I was told that the last three would be Reptus, Darkspawn, Elves. In that order, I believe.

[SilverDrake]

Yeah, but in the starterbox i get 2 out of the 3 army's i want ;)

 

So i'll just wait 'till the elves are out (until then i've got enough to do ) and i think 3 factions will be enough ^^

 

And i just don't like mummy's ^^

 

surely there would nbe a point in waiting but, as i said i'll save money this way, and im sure getting a vaiety to show other people, and before anything else i need people who are willinly to play the Game with me ^^

 

but still suggestions are welcome, ther will be at least 3 weeks untill i'll order anything ^^

 

Regards SilverDrake

[Sivrel]

I thimk for purposes of heavy cavalry the Lion's Lancers should do the trick

[SilverDrake]

Which would be? (didn't found anything like it in the online store)

[Sivrel]

Which would be? (didn't found anything like it in the online store)

Number 14231 now that I think about it that model might not be in the online store yet. Your local gaming store might be able to order it for you.

[SilverDrake]

Ah yes it is ;) and it's also in my to buy list :)

 

But still thanks, for confirming this choice :)

 

So just send an email to mu LGS, and now i'll wait for a response ^^

 

i'll keep you informed ;)

 

Thanks to all of you

 

SilverDrake

[SilverDrake]

OK I've got an email I'll get everything on the list above with a good discount, until end June.

 

So Here it goes: another wargame in my collection^^

 

so Thank you all again, and i'm sure there will be alot more questions, when i got my stuff and started playing ;)

[Monty Burns] Excellent, another one has fallen prey to our schemes [/Monty Burns]

 

 

Good luck with trying to get the locals interested. The game is definitely a lot of fun. There is a ton of information in the Rules and Faction & Tactics Forums. Be sure to check them out. If you're having a hard time finding some specific information, have a question that hasn't been asked yet, have sonme comments or complaints about something, don't hesitate to post, we can either steer you in the right direction, or answer it.

Hospitalers.

 

If there's one advantage that the Crusaders do have, it's good, reliable, inexpensive healers. Hospitalers are the keystone of a strong Crusader army.

 

Don't leave home without 'em.
