A sacrifice...

To ensure success with my Achaean Lion Rampant project! And the palace scene I'd love to build some day:

Achaean Lion Rampant Rosters

Well, my Achaean Lion Rampant test Rosters are ready, but I have quite a bit more painting to do that I thought!

I'm doing the same force for each side, just to keep it fair in the early tests.

3 Chariots as Mounted Men-at-Arms, leader will be in this unit- 6pts

Foot Men-at-Arms, heavily armoured hero types- 6pts

2x Foot Sargeants, troops, large shields. Trojans will be portrayed w/ archers mixed in the unit- 4pts ea

Fierce Foot, Sea People mercenaries for both forces, Sherden and Lukka, may switch which side I have them pictured on. -4pts

Skirmishers, javelin men and slingers for each side- 2pts
 Yes, 26pt retinues, but that is what I'd like to have to get a good game going. May be too much, may be just right! We will see!

Achaeans:

Trojans:

Tons left to paint, but I can get in games while I'm working towards completion. Walls of Troy, desert mat, and soon I'll be able to play the Trojan War! (At least a small one! ;) )

Achaean Lion Rampant!


Here is my Achaean force for Lion Rampant, ready to test the mettle of the Trojans. First play-test will be tomorrow if all goes well. Need to see if my chariots idea will work, with half-strength #s vs horses, with a chariot runner to be removed as first casualty. I hope it will work w/ the system, as it looks cool!

As soon as I read the rules, I knew this is what I wanted to do with them! Challenges, charging chariots, sneaky javelin-throwing naked men, Fierce Foot Sea People ( yes I need 12, not 6...Told you it was still a WIP!) ... Can't wait!

Results and pics ASAP. Please, if you have any ideas as to make a better game with the Trojan War forces, let me know! I'm open to anything!
