Melbourne Mew Mew Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Just noticed that the Minis We'd Like to See thread in Reaper General mentions taking Warlord requests to these boards, so I decided to start this thread up. My requests to start off with... - Female Crusader Grunts - Bladesister Cavalry w/Swords - Bladesister Heavy Cavalry w/lances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voladilk Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Always good to see someone with initiative. All good ideas MMM. With all the new merc models being put out lately it would not surprise me to see your last two being done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcrosby Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 - Bladesister Cavalry w/Swords- Bladesister Heavy Cavalry w/lances There's already enough sameness in Warlord. How about more interesting mounts for Bladesister cavalry? Unicorns would be pretty safe, but how about tigers or ostriches? Maybe some other mythical mount would fit in with the proposed Bladesister fluff? (Edit: llamas! ) the elven archer warlord of doom ... or something that can beat the elven archer warlord of doom into a bloody pulp Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubby Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Merc cav would be pretty cool. Any chance of seeing a chariot of some sort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voladilk Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 hmm I could see bladesisters riding tigers. would lend itself to interesting sculpts at least. a merc chariot would be sweet..something along the lines of a roman chariot. of course you could also do an egyptian style one for nefsokar if you wanted instead. and with regards to the elven archer of doom...well it is an elf..most things can beat it into a bloody pulp...and tasty too!

Voladilk Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 One thing i would like to see is some siege engines... catapults, trebuchets stuff like that. Of course implementing them into the game might be a little difficult, but you could do something along the lines of "hits all targets in a 3" circle, must have at least 2 crew remaining to function" and you would have to give stats for the crew - something basic like #MA 1 MAV 0 DV 5 or something like that.

Seconded! I'd like to see the Dwarves get a unique solo on a super base that's a monstrous cannon. DHL even has a cannon, you could borrow the sculpt! AOE, maybe 2? Not Blowthrough, then it'd be like a Soul Cannon. AOE would be slick though. Or maybe an elite on a large/giant base that's like a field mortar, with aoe/1 perhaps. I like the idea of having crew be part of the model, but I think having the cannon and crew all as an integrated data card would be good for ease of play. Besides that's kindof how Warmachines are talked about in the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushmaster Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 A mortar would make more sense for an AOE . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voladilk Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 A mortar or catapult or trebuchet would all work for AOE since they all just lob stuff at the target and hope it hits and frequently catapults and trebuchets were loaded with scrap rocks instead of one big rock...ooh one thing you could do is something similar to Greek Fire and allow flaming balls of pitch to be hurled from the catapult. I agree that having the crew as part of the warmachine would make it much easier to deal with gamewise. If you did a cannon you kind of have to make it like the soulcannon since that's kind of how cannon balls move...straight line and blow through anything in their path.

Maybe some other mythical mount would fit in with the proposed Bladesister fluff? (Edit: llamas! ) Having gone through incredibly frustrating attempts to find female cavalry miniatures of any sort, I say thee nay. Some kind of exotic mount would be good for a hero of some sort, but my priority is just plain horses with female riders. Oh, and I especially don't want a whole unit of unicorn-riders. Just feels a little... childish or something. One paladin or spellcaster-type, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuaslater Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Wouldn't it be interesting to see more flintlocks among the different armies so that the Renaissance era Pirates of the Carribean ripoffs weren't the only models with the savvy to use gunpowder? As it is, Taltos seems very backwards with the other armies in a medieval fantasy setting, and the undead pirates from a future timeframe. Dark Dwarves---I've said this in other posts, but I'd like to see Reaper do this RIGHT. Just sculpting skulls on everything and calling them Chaos is not going to cut it. They need Werner quality sculpts that do them justice, and not just a subfaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakhak Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Warlord is growing. It started as a simple skirmish deep into Taltos. Many factions would rarely send their warlords to battle and only a small portion of the nations soldiers ever saw battle. Now, as the war begins to burn through the towns, fields, swamps, and sands of Taltos warriors of power are being summoned from all fronts. First the Necropolis ranks swelled with Vampires and new monstrosities took form. Then Crusaders trained their knights in the ways of the Justicar to stop the undead advancement. And all of this while Reven built up their forces of Harpies, Goblins, and Lesser Orcs to pour through the dwarven passes and over the mountains. Skirmishes are few. War has torn across the land. With war, come WAR MACHINES. Ok, that was alot of build up... I want to see some War Machines. If we do something new like this though, I want reaper to do it backwards in the order of factions that recieve it though :) Razig has their cannon, next would be the elves, darkspawn, and reptus. Cannons, Catapults, Goblin Launcher(including goblins equiped with a Fire Keg!!!), Trebuchets, Chariots, Ballistas, Krung Beasts is Full Plate that Radiate Magical poison!! Lets start tearing down some buildings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildbill Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 We've discussed war machines in the past, but if war machines are to hit Warlord en masse, excluding Razig, I don't want ANY war machines in ANY faction. Period. If Reaper is to create war machines, then I want it to be a separate book with war machines that any faction could take. Or something like that. Otherwise, my mostest favorite-est game will turn into Cheezhammer. That would be a shame. Wild Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
