The "Design any fantasy warband" thread

[Gluteus Maximus]

Funny you should mention that! I painted up some fairly standard fantasy fighters as the Treacle Street Watchhouse Specials for Stacy and Michael Weaver, as payment for services rendered long ago. I suppose I ought to actually send them out now, eh?

Take a couple of pics and post them here first, though

Malamute (God bless him for his selflessness), is already helping me plan it out. I think you lot have special lead-based hypnopowers.

Funny you should say that, but my silly, frivolous Discworld warband is actually looking like a feasible project to me now. It seems the Prof has included some kind of digital-hypno-magic-voodoo in this site's coding, which makes otherwise relatively "normal" people do very odd things 

I'm looking for suitable figures right now.....

It's called 'The Witchheimer Syndrome' by my assistants....

I think my warband would probably be dwarf themed, led by my Dwarf Big Game Hunter mini in pith helmet and armed with an elephant gun.  He'd be backed up with a couple norse dwarf berzerkers (not the ones with orange hair!), a few of "the boys" with axes and chainmail, a couple of flint-lock handgunners.  I think three or four pigmy guides would also be appropriate!

Maybe not quite what you meant - but fantasy none-the-less.

Now you just gave me a vision of a Darkest Africa setting where all the white men are dwarves, and all the natives are pygmies.... Some of Bob Olley's Scrunts should do for the evil oppressing europeans, Kallistra's pygmies....

Not quite what I had in mind, but if it gives you another project to add to the ever-increasing wishlist - go fo it!!

I was thinking more of Darkest Africa meets Warhammer Armies (3rd Edition army lists).

That’s funny. I recently re-started painting fantasy figures in the past few days…

I’ve been playing Diablo II on my PC and that, combine with this post by Doomhippie http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=7447.msg82892#msg82892 about Broadsword Adventures, lead me to an order to Reaper Miniatures… So far I have a human bandit, a dwarf warrior, some dungeons loots and a bunch of Cavemen and Cavegirl (to play the bad guys). I don’t know if any of this will lead to any kind of game but, so far, it’s good to paint something different.

Rhoderic, for familiars look at the Reaper Minis site. There’s a LOT of it throughout their range.

I have been pondering this a little bit too.

I put together this character who I can only describe as a hard-boiled Renaissance man. He has some very puffy clothes, including feathery hat, and he is holding to long pistols akimbo with a mean look on his face. I thought I might make him some kind of detective...

THEN I thought, how about some town watch for a Mordheim band? Trying to restore order to the streets! I don't see how they would be any different to the mercenary warbands, but it might be something at least visually different. Maybe a gold star on the Leader? Anyway, a good thread, hope to see some results!

I think my Wizards & Gremlins warband won't be realized any time soon, if ever. None of the Goblin miniatures I've found are really suitable for the kind of "wizard's servant" Gremlins I have in mind, especially as upon closer reflection I'd like some of them to be armed with cartoonish blunderbusses, bombs, flamethrowers etc. I suppose I could go for Gnomes instead (I've seen at least a couple of suitable figures around) but I had my heart set on goblinoids of some sort.

But oh well, I said this was just speculative, and speculative it will remain.

Probably not what you're after but these could be used as a base for some robes

Heresy do some nce familiars.

There's some plastic Gretchin coming out for WH40k. They might have some wacky guns in there!

I don't know if the Warhammer Fantasy Rules will allow it, but I've always wanted to develop a Dogs of War Mercenary Regiment(s) that would have all the Races included. Elves, Beastmen, Orcs, Humans (the Majority), Dwarves, etc. with a 20% discount if your cause was "Good".

They would probably have you hanged, drawn and quartered if they found out what you are planning!

Must be official!
