So Kings of War is really catching on and tomorrow I'll be playing a game against Treefort's headman John. I was going to bring my Italian Army, but John informed me that he wants to try out his Fantasy Persian Empire army. Lots of those super cheap Wagames Factory Persians modified with Dark Elf bits and a lot of Elephants. Soooo I decided to field something more appropriate. A slightly plausible 2000pt Successor army with a tad bit of fantasy. And no it's not that shield design in the third rank.

Kudos to you, sir. It's nice seeing people making an "official" army their own with this sort of different take on the subject. Now are you running this army as Kingdoms of Men or Basileans? |

Kingdoms of Men, 2 Horde Heavy Pike (Successor Pikes) 2 Spear (mercenary hoplites) 2 Bow units (native Persian allies0 2 Scout cav (Scythians) 2 Sgt Cav (Greek cav and Galatian Cav) 2 Bolt Throwers 1 General 1 Standard Bearer 1 Beast of War (Cyclops) |

Does your friend's fantasy Persian army have a giant-ish Xerxes with a warwagon ala 300? |

I'm actually thinking about using my WH historials ECW army as the backbone for a human army. Lots of phalanx and gun-armed missile troops. Not sure yet what fantasy elements would be good to augment the historical troops. Dave |

@D6 Junkie: Thanks for the answer. Good luck against those Persians! @DontFearDareaper: If playing WHFB, you can add cannon, Steam Tanks, and mages. You probably already have the cannon. IIRC, the Empire has griffin riders which gives you some air power (although air power that has to swoop down on ground troops and engage in melee). |

@Ancestral hammer It would be for KoW not WFB. And yes, I do have cannon for my army. Like a lot of folks, WFB is dead to me and AoS is of little to no interest. Hmmm maybe some highlanders to counts as beserkers would be fun. Dragoons could counts as mounted scouts. Still need something to work as a beast of war that isn't too out of step with the flavor of the army. D6 Junkies adaptation of his historical force is awesome and inspiring. Dave |

Dave – Eureka do an ECW Giant, maybe he'd be what you want for a Beast – link |
