With my inability to leave well enough alone, of course the first batrep I post using this Historicals ruleset is between two mythological armies. I mean, why wouldn't it be?
Rules: Hail Caesar, by Warlord Games.
Armies:
600 pts of Mummies, based on the New Kingdom Egyptian published list. (Reaper Miniatures' Bones)
400ish pts of Amazons, based on the Later Hoplite published list. (Wargames Factory Amazons w/Reaper leaders)

This was a really good game - we seriously had no idea which army was going to break first, and we spent a turn or so with both armies one unit away from routing. It was the Mummies' final break through the center that sealed the deal.

Very nice....

Great-looking AAR and pics! :)
Cheers,

What a game, what a bunch of figures. Congrats Froggy you've managed again to set up a whole project based on a very imaginative and inspiring idea!
-
That was all kinds of great. What special rules did you use? If any.
-
Mummies were straight-up troops, though I'm considering making them slower perhaps. The Amazons were mostly by the book, except that the arcanists were like Hawkins that lost a die when too far from the goddess. The heavy arcanists were basically one Roman scorpion deployed as for models in open order.
-
And what is a Hawkins? :D
-
just fantastic would like to see the army units pictures and characters looked brilliant.......got me thinking now

Should have been:
Mummies were straight-up troops, though I'm considering making them slower perhaps. The Amazons were mostly by the book, except that the arcanists were like archers that lost a die when too far from the goddess. The heavy arcanists were basically one Roman scorpion deployed as four models in open order.
This is what happens when I post from my phone.

Got to love that helpfully autocorrect. ::)
