The Plain of Crows Part 2: The Armies

Well, I'm back and just recently recovered from a long and blistering work week. Here's the army that will be taking on King Asgard's Expeditionary force on the Plain of Crows very soon.  Despite the fact that the models I'll be using to represent Asgard's guys won't be painted,  I am only allowing myself to use painted models for my own army.  I want to keep myself motivated to keep painting and don't want to start letting myself think it's okay to use unpainted models in my battle reports.



Lord Thorrir's Welcoming Committee:

King’s Axes - 19 warriors – 2 handed weapons and light armor with standard   240

 Floi Haybeard – Level 15 hero – heavy armor and 2 handed sword                 133

Total for Regiment: 373

Red Dragons – 19 warriors with standard, light armor, shields and spears 240

Borrin Basherson– Lvl 10 hero hand weapon, heavy armor, shield, pistol    Also no 95

Total for Regiment:  335

Skull Poppers – 19 warriors with standard, light armor and shield, 2 handed weapon 240

Lord Thorrir Maull (army general) – lvl 25 hero with heavy mithril armor and Enchanted Strike Hammer, Dragon shield 276

Total for Regiment:  516

Jenni Troll Spitter – 3 man bolt thrower, heavy armor for crew   63

Ol' Hamm – Wizard – lvl 10 Wizard with pistol 120

 Spells:  Dispirit, Fireball, Wind Blast

Total points for army:  1407

The switch from 1500 to 1400 points made some cruel decisions necessary.  Floi Haybeard had to give up his Frost Sword and the elite troops had to endure a downgrade to regular warriors.  Also I don't have an army standard, which I normally consider indispensable.
I'm worried about some other things missing from my army, too.  For my 2,000 point army, I intend to paint up some Giant Slayers and some crossbowmen and I have devilish plans for a pretty sweet battery of stone throwers.  If I had a wider selection of painted troops, my army might look quite a bit different, but it it is what it is.  Lord Maull's army might not be the army he wants, but it's the only army he's got...


Lord Asgard's Unifiers:

1 Level 25 Hero with a great weapon
1 Level 10 Wizard
1 Level 10 Hero with an extra hand weapon and no armour (he has tactile sensitivities)

12 Crossbow

6 Crossbow in skirmish formation

13 Warriors with shields and spears, Musician, Standard led by:

1 Level 5 Character with heavy armour, hand weapon and shield

12 Warriors with hand weapons and shields, Musician

14 Warriors, hand weapons and shields, Musician and Standard

12 Warriors, hand weapons and shields, Musician and Standard

Really wish I could have done Lord Asgard's gallant crusaders better justice by representing them with figures that had...you know...paint and stuff, but I'm just not there yet.  This is what I've got.

So.  The stage is set.
