Darkmeer:
I have been collecting some things for a short while, and I have some Russian Alternative Chaos Dwarves on their way. I plan on making these swappable for two game systems. First, of course, we have Song of Blades and Heroes, our skirmish game of choice at my home, and Kings of War, which I have a copy. Kings of War will wait until a later blog post, as I have many ideas.
I decided to simply make the profiles I want to see, and see how they would fare in a proper Advanced Song of Blades and Heroes campaign. I figured, if anyone else tried the Advanced Song of Blades and Heroes engine, I would share the profiles I have made. Anyone is welcome to share their thoughts, and I’ll definitely take that into consideration (and maybe even edit a profile or three… dozen).
For those not familiar with Song of Blades and Heroes, it is a very small scale skirmish game overall, with some interesting “high level” campaigning available later on. The points start at 400, with no more than 50% being spent on Personalities. There are many options for these things, and, given I enjoy small narrative campaigns, I did not build any one profile with a “winner take all mentality.” I simply looked at the models and said this is what spoke to me. I’m still working through how to do Artillery (Death Rockets, Cannons, Hellcannons, and, of course, Hobgoblin Bolt Throwers).
Here are the profiles that I designed:
