Has anyone considered using the upcoming Warlord Games "Hail Caesar" rules for fantasy gaming? I think the toolkit nature of the rules means that fantasy armies and heroes could be modelled quite easily (4 attack Tiny Units of Aragorn and co anybody?). |

Not rules specific, but I've been playing around with a 'Mythic Rome' army in my head ever since I came across Arcane Legions. |

I've done that with other rules-had the Eagle/Standards protect the cohorts from magical atttack. When the Big Beasties went for the Eagle, I learned why the carro ballista was important. The rules were from FGU decades ago. |

when I saw the thread title I thought you would be talking about this link little chap. But back to Warlord Games rules. I intend to buy them and if they get used they will be used for fantasy. Perhaps Roman army will be used (I have one based around Warlord Games figs) but I regard all my ancients as fantasy these days. x42 |

Given the 'Gentlemanly' nature of the Warlord rules, I imagine that retooling them for fantasy wouldn't be that tough: As long as the players agree that something is fair, it's game! |

I do hope so. Someone has done LoTR for Black Powder so that should give a good base to start from. I have been toying with the idea as a way of playing really big 15mm fantasy battles. I am sure it would not be that difficult, special abilities/penalties, magic and flying would be the real challenge so as not to skew the game too much. Anyone up for the challenge? |

Yeah, I think flying would be the big one. I'm game for collaboration if others are. |
