Title: Otherworld Skirmish Factions
Post by: Galadrin on 03 January 2016, 05:40:15 PM
I was really impressed with Wulfgar's faction (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=83131.0) and it got me wondering—what other factions have you guys come up with? Mine is not too creative, but it looks like it will be fun to play... a small but nimble force with a few tricks up its sleeve.

Phaedra Mordag (70 gp)
Priestess of Kiaransalee (Sinister Sorceress), Evil Legend
Spd 8, Def 3, Hit 3, Str 2, Agi 3, Int 4, Mor 6

Abilities: Magic 2, Magic Items 1, Shield of Force, Luck 1, Ring of Regeneration.
Spells: Mystic Web, Pillar of Wrath.

Phaedra is a zealot of Kiaransalee who has been excommunicated from the temple for seeking to bring the Drow Goddess of Madness back into power and liberate her from servitude to Lolth. Because of her fanatical views, Phaedra has been effectively exiled from her family as well—the minor house Mordag, clients to House Vae. Now Phaedra roams the Underdark, gathering the power and knowledge she needs to strike terror into the hearts of her rivals.

Graelth the Worm (53 gp)
Drow Captain Henchman with Leader 2, Luck 1, Shield, +1 Agi and Whip attack.

The Worm was born in the thrall pits of House Eilserv and fought in the slave armies as a child until he was captured during the great house’s fall from power. He was eventually traded into House Mordag where he battled other child gladiators and lesser monsters for the amusement of the young scions. When he came of age, Graelth was assigned to be the personal guard of Phaedra, who was one year his senior. Decades later, the thrall Graelth would accompany Phaedra as captain of a small detachment of house warriors appointed to serve her in exile.

Vaer, Lael, Zarys (80 gp)
Three Drow, one with a poisoned hand crossbow.

Claagg, Alviss, Siggtrii (45 gp)
Three Duergar (Dwarf), each with the Treasure Hunter ability.

Gug (25 gp)
One Troll.

Faction Strength:
9 Models
5 Regular Activations, +2 Leader
2 Luck
248 gp

I'll write it up, but I'm making a Gord the Rogue faction, a Cult of Iuz faction and a Knights of the Dinner Table faction.  :D

nice faction Galadrin, very much like the background info - what are you fielding for opposition.
I'm building a RuneQuest inspired set of factions you can view my progress on my blog: http://www.posullivandesign.com/
cheers

Wow, all of those sound amazing! I can't wait to see the writeups (especially for the KoDT guys!).

The only other OWM figures I have right now are the Orc tribe box and the Otherworld Giant, so I might do something with the Orcs for opposition (just need a pet Owlbear for them). I had an idea to do "the Trash Men" from the sewers of Greyhawk (basically an Otyugh, some slimes and giant rats led around by a group of Mongrelmen) but I never went further with it.

The Glorantha battle reports look excellent—looks like I have my reading set for the night!

Btw, bonus points for anyone who figures out where my Duergar names come from.
