The Northern Tribes - A Dragon Rampant Warband

[wulfgar22]

The boy and I are planning on giving Dragon Rampant a go at the weekend so I thought it was about time I got some warbands together. Of course, this being based on the Lion Rampant rules it took me all of ten minutes! I love the ease with which you can make up pretty much anything you like!

Anyway, the first up are a small warband from The Northern Tribes (made up from my Frostgrave figures)...a loose alliance of petty chiefdoms from The North forever fighting incursions from The Frozen Wastes.


Chieftain (Single Model Unit)
Elite Foot + Leader @ 6 Points


Beserker (Single Model Unit)
Bellicose Foot @ 4 Points


Sword Maidens (Reduced Model Unit)
Elite Foot @ 6 Points


Druids (Reduced Model Unit)
Heavy Foot + Spellcaster @ 8 Points


Warriors (Reduced Model Unit)
Bellicose Foot @ 4 Points


War Dogs (Reduced Model Unit)
Lesser Warbeasts @ 4 Points

So with the above I could field up to a 32 Point Warband with just 16 models. Simple as that! Of course, we shall see if they're any good at the weekend...

Nice! Lovely models there.

I really like the way you can do skirmishes or large scale battles with DR, depending on how you use your models. Great stuff!

Cool way to put together a warband with just a few models.

Thanks for the kind words! Should have some of my Thaw of the Liche Lord figs ready for another warband soon!

Thanks. And I've made the pics a bit bigger but, unfortunately, it seems to make them a bit fuzzier. There are much bigger and better pics on my blog here.

They look brilliant. I like the idea of reducing it to a skirmish game. Allows for smaller tables if needed.

Not only am I liking your take on DR, I REALLY love how you framed and labeled your photos.

Care to share how you do this?  Is there a program or app for this?

Very fun!

Thanks! I used Comic Life 3 for the pics. It's great...easy to use and there is a 30 day free trial. I also use it to for my battle reports...here's one.
