Hi there!
Just got confirmation from a friend of mine that we will to play some 3ed WFB for the first time in about 20 years. The date will be sunday 28th feb and I´m really looking forward to this. As we want to keep it simple and and not too time consuming we agreed on 1200pt limit with no mages or flyers. One can have a lvl15 hero for genaral and lesser champions as one pleases. We are using WFB: Armies as a guideline but the dwarves don´t have to rigidly follow troop minimas. We want to have WYSIWYG painted minis on board.
The high elf army will be a expeditionary force leb by Janarion, the youngest son of a wealty elven merchant prince. The young nobleman (noble-elf?) has sailed with his private merchant company and a company of his fathers finest swordmen (swordself?). A bit annoyed by the ´babysitters´ as he cals his fathers warriors Janarion has hired some sea elf wardancers (so might call them pirates...) and a mercenary giant to make sure he wouldn´t be so reliant on the proud warriors led by his cousin Darcassan
Upon arriving to the coast of Tilea the elves have claimed a spot of land and founded a trading outpost. Thabioh The giant - being a local to the area has been given task of patrolling the surroundings while other troops are building the outpost and it´s defences. The civilian craftsmen of the outpost have made Thabioh a blue uniform from spare sails and he has been given intructions not to hit anyone who is as tall as his knee and is wearing blue as Janarions colours are blue and white. This has made the swordmen company feel a bit uneasy as they are clad in the red and green uniforms of Darcassan´s family.
Even though the elves make sure that there is plenty of wine available Thabioh hasn´t been able stay away from his old habits. Knowing the location of a small dwarf brewery he has looted it on one of his trips causing casualties among the beer brewers. This has understandable angered the local dwarf community that has raised a warparty to hunt down the beer stealing and dwarf killing criminal. Thabioh, with the revengeful dwarves on his heels heads back to the elves to ´warn´ them of the approaching enemy. Leaving out the brewery incident part Thabioh tell a story of evil dwarves wanting to push the expedition back to the sea. Eager to prove himself on the battlefield Janarion mobilises his forces and prepares to meet the stunties...
My forces will include:
Janarion, lvl 15 high elf general leading
Mechant company (7 spearmen, 7 archers, light armor, shields, standard, led by Janarion)
Darcassan, lvl 10 high elf lord, 2H magic weapon of strenght (+1S), leading
Warriors (17 swordsmen inc. standard and musician, 2H weapons, heavy armor)
5 Wardancer, 2H weapons
Marine bolt battery
Thabioh, Mercenary giant
We will not have a GM but my giant will be controlled by my 10 years old son. Depending on his mood I may or may not be able to influence what he does with Thabioh.
The composition of dwarf forces is unknown to elves but Thabioh told Janarion that he saw some fire throwing devices among troops...
Pics of my force will follow... and a battle report later on....
