Nick's British Platoon for A War Transformed.

[fred]

No, there's 6 categories of summoned creatures. You'd choose whatever folk-lore creatures suit your faction. Because I've gone with Crowley as my leader, I ought to have Pan as my 'Crusher' (The largest manifestation) etc. But I might just go with what I have in the Frostgrave/ Silver Bayonet collection.

Here's an idea of what the 6 categories are:

Thanks. Thats good to know, so I can have some generic ones, and some that fit more to a specific faction. I was thinking about some bears for the Russians.

The Army is done!

12 points (I'll need to get it up to 20 really, but this'll get me started)
 
1 Leader (Mesmerist)
1 Witch
1 Unit of Spiritualists
2 Units of Lancers
3 Units of Infantry.

Infantry Section 2.
I went with the authors description of the supply chains failing post-Catastrophe with this unit, painting a unit of dismounted cavalry in a blue uniform they'd scrounged from the Police/ County Militia etc.

I wasn't as pleased with the Speedpaint results with these, but I'll keep them.

Infantry Section 3.
This is a unit of Dismounted Cavalry, a bit better equipped with helmets.

I might do a bit more work on these, get them 'garlanded' up like the cavalry.

Although the platoon is ready to go, I've got a HMG on the painting table, so there's more to come.

The Platoon Witch with her Ritual Cards. I'm going to go with the Horned God as my Hermetic Lodge for the first few games, see how we get on.

This is a unit of Discounted Cavalry, a bit better equipped with helmets.

A Freudian slip or the curse of autocorrect? ^__^
They look great.

[nicknorthstar]

I decided to add a Machine Gun Team to the platoon last night.
It's a Great War Miniatures cavalry HMG.
Speedpainted again. Put onto a 40mm round base.

I think I'll do a Mortar team and leave it there. Maybe...

[Ultravanillasmurf]

I think I'll do a Mortar team and leave it there. Maybe...

Or not?

[fred]

A mortar would be good.

Then perhaps an 18pdr (or 13 if you are going all cavalry)

Then a little tank (or two)

Since you’ve made such a rapid start, shame to loose the momentum!

[nicknorthstar]

I'd like to get a MkIV, but I need to give it some thought how to pimp it up to AWT.

Cool.

What you do not want to do is make it look like an escapee from 40k.

A mechanised base to a wicker man?

Or a Rushcart?

In that image it looks to have a mask very much like your cavalry, along with a banner.

Interested in the idea of the woolly mammoth skeleton in the foreground and what sort of terrain might be of use

[nicknorthstar]

The Mammoth skeleton is something the author mentions as being seen when Doggerland rises from the sea. It's based on the fact Mammoth bones have been be retrieved from the English Channel. I can't recall how right now, maybe in fishermen's nets?

Not sure who does Mammoth skeletons as terrain pieces?

TBH, we should do a separate post on AWT terrain once everyone has their books.

[Snackelwolf]

How many captains are needed for one army side?  Does each unit of 8 soldiers have one, or just one  special mini to go alongside the witch and other supernaturals?

[nicknorthstar]

One Captain per platoon. (Platoon = AWT Army)

You can buy Lieutenants extra, and have a Witch.

Each armies have characters you can exchange for your Captain, not have as well.
