Not entirely sure about this one, it sounds cool, but i fear it'll turn into some confusing mess.

I'm not sure about the unit profiles either, are they actually taken from a Mordhelm rule book? if so what do all the rules mean?

Also: where are the Warriors of Chaos? those guys are awesome.

Fair enough, formally requesting Warriors of Chaos to be added. I have cunning plan.

Also, does the Empire player have 2 steam tanks? i thought those things were supposed to be really rare? (My knowledge of the Fantasy Word is somewhat shoddy and probably out of date anyway, will that be a problem?)

nope,mines rusty to

and were given 5,000 for troops,so you dont follow the rules exactly. i looked and there more pricy,so it evens out as they cost more to get them.

**ineptus astartes**

aaargg my head. I was asleep. anyways.

warriors of chaos can be found on page 2 if I have not added them in the OP.

sevral combats base on D&D style RPing, where you (I will put out the full stat list and all soon) can either, roll dice and RP the results, or take a look at who the best warrior is in any said encounter, and RP to the probable outcome.

the steam tanks are the most expensive at 1000 each.

**Lord Harrab**

Just a few Questions before i finalize my Character sheet:

Could i have two named characters, sort of a Lord and His second? and do i take their stats from the race list? Also, how will magic be handled?

**ineptus astartes**

Dice Rolls: in small-time skirmishing you can roll your own dice or take it whichever way you want, but in PC/PC battles, you can PM each other (and me) to get your combat straight, by this I mean simply keeping an formation up (which troops where, flanks, front, rear, ect, and RP the opening moves. then I would do all that dicework and event it, OR send the results to the pair of you via PM, and you can make a narrative scene out of that. either

SPECIALTIES
God of War: -1 enemy moral (you will have to do some dice rolling, but I will control the big fights, such as Minotaur VS Knight)
Handgun: bypasses armored units and inflicts 4 damage on them
Hate of order: gives you an edge while you RP, to drive your beastmen into a fight whether they would realistically do so or not
Armor: -2 all attack strength from opponent in combat with the armored unit(does not include against maces, cannons, or handguns)

Blade Barrier: 4 men can form a wall of sharpened steel that deals 1 extra damage against charging units
Frenzy: same as Hate of Order, but can be directed anywhere.
Cruelty: spends a little extra time killing one foe (adds to your gold at the end of the fight)
Sadism: same but adds more to it while taking longer. (calculated by the GM)
Charge: sprint to the enemy lines and deal +1 damage.
Bull rush: same, adds 2 damage, and smashes through the lines. without taking any damage (unless spear wall is activated)
‘You Listen to Me Scum!’: unit automatically commandeers another infantry unit when charging, can also be used to order troops into suicidal situations.
One Gear Charge: barrels into the enemy at full speed. Sends them flying and the unit MUST continue to charge foe another dozen meters or so (RP effective)

Lash out: can cause slight damage to friendlies in return for yielding more gold (stole it from them)
Squabble: fight over A kill/loot usually nonlethal, but takes up time.(RP effective)
Bloodlust: unit WILL NOT stop until all enemies are rendered to a bloody pulp (does not count if enemies retreats)
Spear wall: causes damage to big creatures
Uncatchable: will not settle down until they are knocked out and recaptured

@HARRAB: two characters would be aceptable, just as long as you have one slightly weaker than the other. and I will be getting tto magic in a bit

**ineptus astartes**

about stats: 4 3 5 4 is standard human sats, for, movement, HP, moral, and strength

**Lord Harrab**

Name: Lord Harrab the Eternal
Character Race: Warriors of Chaos
Gender: Male
Subrace/Class: Sorcerer Lord
Stats: 5 7 12 7
Equipment: Mace, Chaos Armor and shield. Mark of Chaos Undivided
Bio: Through out the Chaos Wastes there are many Legends of Harrab the Eternal, and just as many are the tribes who claim he came from their stock, but no matter the tale or the teller, only a few things are known for certain, he never speaks, never tires, and can never be stopped. Countless warriors have flocked to his side, believing that by serving such a mighty champion might draw the eyes of the gods upon themselves. Although he himself never speaks, he seems to have formed a mental bond with a former Slave Amazonian named Fraya, and she serves as his voice, directing the warriors in battle while her Lord summons the winds of magic to destroy his foes.

Character Race: Warriors of Chaos
Subrace/ Class: Amazonian/ Warrior of Chaos
stats: 4 5 10 7
Equipment: Two hand Weapons, Chaos Armour. Mark of Chaos Undivided

Bio: Although taken from a tribe of Warrior-women in Lustria by Norsemen raiders when she was but a child, Freya seemed doomed to a life of slavery or becoming the raw materials in some Sorcerous rite, she managed to escape from her pen serveal times, killing her guards with her bare hands in the process. This Impressed her captors so much she was forced to fight in the area against trolls, orcs, skaven and whatever other horrors the pack masters could find. She became feared by other slaves, who would rather slit their own throats than face her in the ring. Her forced servitude ended the day Harrab the Eternal entered the stronghold, ignoring all attempts to honor and welcome him, marched to the slave pens, slaughtered her guards without provocation and escorted her out into the wastes. She has served as his second ever since, directing his minions as his will commands.

Born in the year 1951 in the city of Carroburg, Sigmund joined the then Count Karl Franz's army. He served
as a swordsman, fighting out of Helmgart against the various orc warbands attempting to raid Reikland. After
the fall of Helmgart in 1979, Sigmund deserted the army. He travelled as a peddler untill he found service as a guard
for the caravan trains of Tilea. In 1982 he was hired by the famed mercenary general Enzo. He was charged with protection of the flanks of Tilea's
famous Pikeman regiments. In the battle of Verezzo pass, Sigmund held his outnumbered and outmatched flank together
untill Enzo's heavy cavalry could smash into the Dark Elf corsair raiders, winning the day. Enzo continued travelling
with Enzo, acting as a Captain, holding the front lines together. The corsairs that have been plagueing the coastal
waters of Tilea were finally broken. In the year 1987, Sigmund set out again, he departed with a small company of veterans,
loyal to Sigmund.

There is a reason snipers like urban warfare.

**ineptus astartes**

yes. I attempted to post a map but it did not work. I will see i it works now.

**Sister of Krieg**

This sounds like a great idea. I would want to join, but I would like to make a Wood elf / High elf character, if it's all good ^.^ (preferably Wood Elf). Could you please put up a Wood elf army guide so I could sort an army ^.^

also I have no idea how Fantasy works :S sorry for being such a n00b but I still like the idea and wanted to try it.

**Toastedandy**

Should things with God of War have a 0-1 limit?

I only ask because they seem to be REAL powerful, and if its 0-1, it would bulk out the armies with numbers, rather than big ass monsters.
