IHMN Bedouin group

[john Hollyoak]

Said I wasn't going to get embroiled in yet another project but I realised that I have probably enough painted Bedouins (for Chaos in Cairo) to make up a team. I would like to add a fantasy element such as dust or sand devils and possibly swarms of scarabs or scorpions. Can the rules cope with these?
Thanks
John

[Varangian]

Yes, they can. They're flexible enough to be able to handle quite a few things.

At the moment you would have to draw up the stats yourself for those creepy crawlies, but yes I believe you will be able to represent them reasonably well.

I would group creepy-crawlies such as scarabs into small swarms on a single base and then treat them as any other figure. They might be especially vulnerable to fire and the like.

Very intriguing - I've been looking at my Dark Ages Moors & Berbers (Artizan) to make up a suitable horde for the Adventuring Companies to do battle against, and I've been contemplating adding a few fantasy paladin-style figures (Reaper Minis) as leaders and specialists and for something a bit special-creature-ish, something akin to Sand Worms.

[Bullshott]

How about a sorcerer type with a big summoned creature - djinn or efreet? Maybe use the yeti stats as a basis?

Also look at the existing IHMN Egyptian faction for ideas.

I would make a scarab swarm immune to bullets, though. I mean, one bullet isn't going to do much to hundreds of scarabs. Fire, electric arc weapons, acid, that sort of thing, though... very dangerous.

Hm, has Bullshott been reading my Al-Rakim Brotherhood list?

Malthor the Vizier is not happy - and escaped from the British prison by using his Levitation Power!

Now, if he can only gather new followers - or resurrect them as zombies...
