Beowolf was my Wolf Lord
Egtho (The Archer) was my LasC Annihil
etc.
Oh and my Thirteenth warrior was me. (My name is very close to the nick name from the movie/book, Ibn, that they gave the arab.)
Very fluffy and cool.

I can't really say anything about the list or its competitiveness, but very cool.

What the?! It sounds like a waaagh of Barbie toys exposed to the microwave! LOL!!! I would really like to see photos of both armies.

BUT, in terms of terminator-armoured crushing forces, TH/SS is probably overpriced in the SW codex, and underpriced in codex SM.

Example:
Marneus Calgar 250
Lysander 200
2x5 scouts 150
30 TH/SS terminators 1200

That's 1800 points. Slap some upgrades on the scouts to make 1850. You could take vulkan or pedro, both of whom enhance the terminators' abilities, but I would rather have the eternal warrior characters. I think the above army would take your 13 guys, even if the characters aren't nearly as extreme. Obviously the SM player could redress the balance by heavily targetting Njal, Ragnar and the Wolf Lord. None of these guys have EW, so they'd go down fairly quickly.

There is absolutely no point to this observation, since you're specifically making a thirteen warrior army. I just thought you should know that if someone had made a film about 32 warriors and 10 not-quite-as-tough guys who followed them around, you'd be in better luck competitively.

Also, I'm bored.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264208/1095691.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264208/1095691.page GMT

Drop a Termie for another six scouts and it could be loosely based on "The 47 Ronin".... albeit with 16 of them less badass then most adaptations of that story...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264208/1095701.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264208/1095701.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264208/1095950.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264208/1095950.page GMT
Which movie are you referring to? the 13th warrior has antonio bandaras in it the other, 47 ronin i think it was, I haven't seen so don;t know about that one

The movie is "The 13th Warrior" starring Antonio Banderas........and if you have not seen this movie, drop what you're doing and go rent/buy it RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!

It's based on the book "Eaters of the Dead" by Michael Crichton.

I read that book in an airport once. It's the author's bullsh*t 'reimagining' of the Beowulf premise (settlement plagued by bestial attackers by night; foreign hardasses come forth to save the day). It's a terrible book that became a good action movie. It has bugger all to do with Beowulf.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264208/1099519.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264208/1099519.page GMT WG unit and make them as Lone Wolfs. Extra staying power! or if possible, since it is very character based. Get Arjac in there!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264208/1100120.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264208/1100120.page GMT http://www.essaydepot.com/essayme/2027/index.php
Or read the second paragraph of wikipedia "The novel upon which the film is based is itself loosely inspired by Richard Frye's translation of ibn Fadlan's non-fictional account of his travels up the river Volga in the tenth century and the Old English heroic epic poem, Beowulf."
Please do some research, reading the book in an airport is hardly enough to disprove my claim.

All societies have legends about things that go bump in the night. Personally I think the Grendel figure has a lot to do with the remnants of tribes that used to live in Denmark (the Vendel culture) which would fit the standard myth-creation pattern for monsters plaguing primitive tribal societies.

The essay that link leads to was written by a highschool student, and the way it's written doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

Again, I'm not trying to insult you. But I think the connection between the two early-medieval sources and the pulp novel are the sort of thing the author goes on about to give his work a bit of gravitas. It's a book about norsemen bashing things up. Relation to old english poetry and muslim travel writing: not much.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264208/1101564.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264208/1101564.page GMT
