Greetings.
After playing a few games of warlord some of our gaming club wants to have a try at creating new units to test out. Obviously unofficial but it's really just for fun anyway. The main problem however is working out a general point cost area these units (S.A being the main difficulty). Like for example here's a ranger chief one of our gamers would like to try out (He's designing a ranger esque faction). Say he would be worth 35pts without any S.A how much should he be then once the S.A start piling on. Prehaps add 3-5pts per S.A? Not trying to be perfect obviously but we do want an overall general point range.

There are discussions about SAs & point costs on Reaper's Warlord forum: link It might be a good place to check out to see if you are in the ball park. The game's designer pops onto the forums from time to time as well. Hope that helps. Elaine |

If you can get a hold of the first edition, it had a point cost calculator in the campaign section. I haven't tried building any warbands with it though to see if the costs are consistant with the latest version. |

First and second edition are apples and oranges in difference. I saw the thread on the Reaper forum and can't blame you for your interest. Right now, the current edition of Warlord is an all consuming addiction. They really got it right. Post how your playtesting goes, and have fun. |

The special abilities don't stand alone, and that makes pointing them up very hard. "Savage" by itself is okay, but couple it with "Frenzy" and "First Strike" and you have a combo worth a lot more points. I would take a data card from another faction and trade out the name. Warlord has a ton of data cards to choose from for that trick. I would like to see what you come up with. |
