[Archive] Warhammer Warbands!

klemanius:

My local store is starting up a campaign using the old Warhammer Warbands rules.

What do people think of this starting out, not sure on what lore to use on the smith?

Daemonsmith, lv2, enchanted shield, pistol (magician archetype)

4x infernals w/firepikes

4x Hobgobs w/bows

4x Hobgobs w/bows

Bloodbeard:

I’m not certain of the old warband rules. But I’m pretty sure you can’t include more than 50% models with shooting abilities.

So you have to ask the organizers to remove the hobgoblins standard “throwing knives” as they otherwise count as shooting from the start.

klemanius:

Hmm, can’t find anything in the rules. Might be right though.

Bloodbeard:

Sorry! I was thinking of the old Regiments of Renown rules!

You should go for Lore of Fire. With these small units. A fireball and it’s ability to hit enemies 48’’ away, with no chance of missing - will win you games for sure.

Getting an augment spell as the second one can really make a lot of difference for your guys as well.

klemanius:

Ha, that makes sense.

Yeah I was thinking of fire.
