Just realised the title of this thread is a bit misleading as Warlord don't refer to SPQR as a skirmish game but rather "WARBANDS IN THE ANCIENT WORLDTake command of your warband and lead it to glory and legend!".They have updated the Pre-Order page with pics of the two Heros as well as a group shot of everything in the box.http://www.warlordgames.com/spqr-a-clash-of-heroes-starter-set/?utm_source=Warlord+Games+Newsletter&utm_campaign=191992eca5-Warlord_Games_New_Release_Friday_07_June_2019&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b7e928b4ed-191992eca5-132679373&mc_cid=191992eca5&mc_eid=9b66257cd3
Well - seeing as I've been putting off building yet another army, this weekend I succumbed to the call of the Roman Legions... the Marines anyway I've put together my 500 point (Denarii) SPQR Warband list Legio Prima Adiutrix. Once I find a suitable model it'll be commanded by Gabara the Giant (Apparently a 9'9"tall Arabian giant!), for now tho I'm using one of Warlords Optio's as my Pilus Prior.My heroes are based on 30mm MDF discs to make them stand out from the average 25mm base. My Scorpio is on a triangular base from Sarissa Precision.First Century, Second Cohort, Legio Prima AdiutrixPilus Prior, Centurion Atergo Potentes Drusus - 82 Denarii.Large shield, lorica hamata, sword, short spearTalents - Wall of Iron, BlademasterEvocatus, Servius Minatus Marinus - 85 Denarii.Large shield, Lorica Segmentata, sword.

So I've finished putting the finishing touches to my Iberian warband. Hopefully I'll be able to put them up against RichC's marines sometime soon! These are all Warlord Games Iberians, plus plastic Celt bits, Celtic casualties, British warhounds, the wolf from the Roger's Rangers box set plus other stuff from my bits box. I've chosen to recreate the military arm of a Celtiberian tribe hailing from the heart of the Iberian peninsula. They're led by Balcaldur, a reclusive warrior convinced that he's the mortal avatar of Cernunnos, god of the underworld. Wielding a pattern-welded sword forged from meteoric iron, he leads his band of tribesmen out to carve up the invading Romans. The List:Balcaldur, the Sword of the Underworld (Level 2 Hero) 89 DenariiEquipment: Two-handed Sword, Dagger, HelmetTalents: Wall of Iron, Lethal Blade, BlademasterNaravas, the White Wolf (Level 1 Hero) 86 DenariiEquipment: Short Spear, Large Shield, 3x Javelins, Horse Talents: Buckle the Line, HorsemanshipScutati Band (10 Infantry Minions) 120 DenariiEquipment: Short Spears, Javelin, Large Shields, Helmets, Horn Special Rules: Flaming Javelins, Strength in NumbersCaetrati Band (5 Infantry Minions) 35 DenariiEquipment: Javelins, Swords, BucklersSpecial Rules: Flaming Javelins, Hit and RunIberian Cavalry Band (5 Cavalry Minions) 165 DenariiEquipment: Short Spears, 2x Javelins, Small Shields, HorsesSpecial Rules: Hit and RunAll of this comes to 495 points, which leaves me with 5 points in the bank for future purchases!
I'd like to see some pics of warbands to get a good feel for them.
The scorpion seems a bit out of place in such a small force.
