Dragon Rampant re-basing

With a large game of Dragon Rampant due at the club on Thursday. 4 players 100points a side. Orcs and Goblins against the Men of the West. Now I've recently completed my Mordor host, but not to 100 points. I needed more orcs. This was an issue as my painting mojo seems to have deserted me. Then I remembered I had some old plastic GW figures that were painted may years ago. So I dug them out to see what I had.

Now these guys would need re basing to match in with the newer figures. So to work I went over the weekend and here they are. 3 units of Moria Goblins, some Uruks, Bezerkers, The Goblin king and Saruman.





So with the addition of 4 Cave Trolls, 1 to add to Sarumans unit and that should give me enough for 100 points.


Now I can begin to put together the army for Thursday might from the available troops.

The Witch King - elite foot
Nazgul - elite foot
Fell beast - greater warbeast
Dragon - greater warbeast
Wolves - lesser warbeast
2x Uruks - Heavy foot
4x Orcs - belicose foot
Orc archers - light missile
Goblin archers - light missile
Goblin archers - scouts
2x Goblins - light foot
2x Trolls - heavy foot
Warg riders - heavy riders

Looking forward to the game already.

Dragon Rampant

Over the last few weeks at the club we have fought a number of games using the Dragon Rampant rules. They are quick to play, fun and perfect for a club night.

Now my goblins of the Crooked Moon tribe are building a nice little reputation. We've ran rings around Elves and stood up to giant bears. We usually play 30 point games which on average will give 6 or 7 units. However my Goblins with their cowardly trait allows me about 10 units depending on which options I take. Quantity has a quality of its own.

Last week's army was composed of the following
2 units wolfriders (light riders)
1 unit of Trolls (heavy foot - offensive)
3 units of  light missiles (cowardly)
3 units of light foot (cowardly)
1 unit of light foot (wizardling)
1 unit of half orcs (bellicose foot)

All with a point to spare which could get me another unit of light foot.





With the addition of my new Troll war leader and a few orcs and wolf riders to paint I need to somehow convince the others to move up to 40 point games.
