Title: Rangers of Shadowdeep warband Nasir El-Khadib
Post by: pistolpete on 26 June 2023, 03:01:57 AM
Finally got my first warband painted up (they still need clear coat but too humid to spray). I wanted something atypical from the usual forest ranger trope so I thought of a saracen/arabic/moor type of prince on a pilgrimage to battle evil forces.
 L to R: Fakiri archanist (gripping beast), Nasir El-Khadib ranger (hasslefree), Badour guardsman (hasslefree) will make the core group

Other members that will make appearances, L to R:
Knight (hell dorado), recruit (frostgrave), conjuror (frostgrave), couple of archers (fireforge), and man at arms (fireforge)

And finally the setup for mission 1 scenario 1

I think i may need to get a few more spiders though. Really looking forward to actually playing a game.

Great looking warband - the miniatures work well together under the paint scheme you have chosen. The set up for the first scenario also looks grand. Looking forward to reading the AAR.

It's a grass sheet for model railroading, it's 33x36. I added some different color flock, grass, turf with some watered down pva to make it more varied in appearance.  Some grass still falls off so I might spray it down again.  It doesn't lay completely flat either so it might not be a good long term option but it was something for me to try.

Great looking group, really good choices of minis and a nice cohesive paint scheme.

The scenery looks convincing too.

What do you think of the game?

@hubbabubba i have only played the first scenario but i enjoyed it, especially being solo centric.  Combat was easy to pick up, quick, and made sense to me.  I did have to read the monster movement rules a few times before I kind of got it (target points was the confusing bit mainly), I misread a couple scenario specific things (clue results not repeated) but overall i like it.  I'm still working on the AAR thread but already looking forward to the next scenario but have to get a few monsters.  I think that's the best part for me is motivation to buying, painting miniatures as prep for the next game.

That's also what I found most satisfying, in terms of building and painting scenery too.

Lookinhg forward to the rest of the AAR.
