It's not about who did what first. Its about trying something different.

Blue elves are probably a no no as well....

Lizardmen you say? Riding Pteranodons?



GW IP you say? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........................................

OK, lol!

'All your ideas are belong to us'. (atrrib: random GW suit).

For the Lizardmen, we have to thank the people of India, for in their Mythology, they have Nagas (half man & half snakes), then somewhere (I'm guessing in the Conan series) someone replaced that serpent tale with a pair of scaly legs, and that is how the Lizardmen were born.

The Stygians in short are Elves with Blue skin that resemble the Ancient Greek. They are very peaceful & like to work on their economy. Their level of technology is not as high like of the Dwarfs or the Men of the Dominion, but they are eager to learn. They usually Ally themselves with any civilization who is in a trade friendly relationship with them.They do not fight to conquer, but rather to defend their Cities. However, their army is not to be underestimated, for every soldier is highly trained for battle & their forces are filled up with Allied races & strange Monsters of the continent.

So, 'What if Tau were sort of elves'? Spend 5 minutes on this one too.)

consider my feedback to be "Needs more work". and of course, the classic: You seem to have plenty of feedback, so I suggest you go and do some reading and writing before you come back with your revised materials

Maybe make the lizardmen much more unique. DnD lizzies are almost draconian. GW lizardmen are aztec-dinos. Make yours frilled lizards, horned lizard, or even those lizards that squirt blood from their eyes.

@mikhaila
Actuelly, I've spent a while on the Stygians, planning on putting them in Warhammer Fantasy, but now I' planning on putting them here. And the Tau are more like Grays with horse-like hooves (that is why Orks call them ''gray skins'')
I've acutely read a lot of Greek literature (well, the Myths anyways) & I've studied about them in History class, so the Stygians I had a lot of work done, I just tried putting it as simple as possible. Plus I like the idea of Blue Elves.

@A Black Ram
Horned Lizards sound good, and I love frilled lizards, but I think that kind of Lizardmen is used in Soul Calibur. Great idea though.


OK, I've got to reveal my favorite Stygian unit: The Colossus!

A Colossus is a mix of bronze, metal gears, steampunk technology & arcane magic melded together into a 100 foot tall killing machine shaped into a Stygian warrior, forged in battle. They use their massive swords to cut through enemy lines with great ease, while their mighty bronze armor protects them from most attacks, including Dragons fire & a magical projectile. More powerful Colossus are equipped with Silver armor, while the utmost elite are armed with Golden armor. When the Stygians bring a Colossus with them, the enemy can only prey to their Gods to see the next day.

I imagine the Colossus to look like a Greek Warrior, made of Bronze, gears & stuff between the joints & shinning blue eyes to make him look mystical.

Here is some info about the Hoplites, the Greek basic warrior, and for the Stygian army, I'm using units from Ancient Greece (which were once real). The info I've found from an awesome historical game called Age of Mythology.

HOPLITES

General Info:
The general-purpose Hoplite should form the backbone of any Stygian army. They are particularly good at defeating cavalry, but are weak against archers. Hoplites are not fast, and some opponents may be able to outrun them.

Historical Info:
The predominate Stygian soldier of antiquity was the Hoplite, named after the great round shield he carried into battle. Hoplites wore helmets, leg armor, and chest armor, and carried a great long spear. They fought in dense columns with the spear points from several ranks projecting out from the formation. They thus presented a formidable block bristling with spears held above the shoulder. In battle they would close with with the enemy as a pushing wall of shields, stabbing with their spears over the shields. Men behind would push those in front and stab over them. This fighting was face-to-face and terrifying, requiring high skill and discipline. Battles were usually short but deadly. Before the rise of the Hoplite, most army fighting had been more long-ranged archery and posturing. The Stygians made war personal and intense, and Hoplites dominated ancient battlefield for centuries.

What's the "Elevator Pitch" for the setting? I believe the term 'elevator pitch' comes from the idea that how would yous ell your idea if you were in an elevator for a short trip with someone that could make it happen... I.E. a publisher or network executive type.

What makes it different? Is there a distinctive mood (I.E. WHFB is very tolkienesque, but has a distinct blend of dark gothic touches and a bit of comedy, and is a bit more advanced than many settings (I.E. canons and pistols).) or feel?

Also, think about how these units make sense in the world. You've got some info on some units being more advanced than others technologically. Are the Stygians a fading empire because they don't use gunpowder weapons? Do they have some sort of special magic or powers that is incompatible with firearms, but makes them somehow equal? (Note: GW has done that idea)

Or an idea would be to play 'What if?' and say 'What if these kinda-sorta Greeks had survived and modernized?'

Maybe they're a bit more modern, but still use the same style of arms and armor, but with modern touches. So they've got Hoplites with some sort of bang-stick lances, psitols, and the same fancy armor.

Well I was thinking of the Stygians being a race that focused more on the economy of their small Civilization, trying to gain friends (so they wouldn't be wiped out by the larger races easily) rather then on their technology (being in a constant threat of destruction does kinda slow down your technological advancement). They usually do not get that much Steampunk, but they do have a little (the Colossus). Also, I don't think ordinary Elves have Steampunk, yet they are holding up just fine (I think).

Just as a thought, Steampunk may be a boat that has sailed anyway. It'll keep going for things like WM/H, but nothing in what you posted really says 'Steampunk' to me anyway other than the scarecrow things... Just more advanced than 'classic' fantasy.

Guns in the real world, as I understand it, are kind of a major paradigm shift. There was a long transition period as they went from oddball weapons to a component of a force to the standard, but it's pretty much inevitable that if someone has them, everyone else will need to deal with them. Which, as said, doesn't mean adopting them, especially if there's magic around.

Still interested in an 'elevator pitch' to state how this world is different from other fantasy settings.

Also, is the world 'high magic' or 'low magic'? The terms are somewhat imprecise... Generally, I'd consider WHFB low magic, for example. Most WHFB inhabitants don't see much if any magic being done. On the other hand, a lot of D&D settings are 'high magic' in that there's a lot of spells being thrown around.

Again, just trying to differentiate your world from the crowd.

I don't really know, this isn't my world, but the one of @jaggedjaw. I'm only helping him around a bit, and I've introduced a new race,the Stygians. Now if he will accept them or not, I don't know, it depends if they gain positive or negative feedback. So if you want to talk to me about Fields of War, I can only discuss the Stygians (and the Reptillions which were moved to the background). I can only discuss other parts of this Fantasy world as a fellow fan.

Now for the Stygians most basic &/ the cheapest units:
NOTE: Seratas - Southern Stygia (based on Sparta) / Atikus - Northern Stygia (based on Athens)

This is about the Stygians most basic unit: the PERIOIKOI

General Info:
The Perioikoi should form a large part of the Stygian army, working as meatshields. They are not so good at fighting opponents & die easily, but they should be able to keep the enemy busy.

Historical Info:
Seratas had a very regimented structure. The full citizens of Seratas were required to be full-time soldiers, and their constant training made them warriors virtually without peer. Below the citizens were the Perioikoi, or militia. The Perioikoi trained only a few weeks a year and were deployed only within the local area as a defensive force. These part-time warriors made up about half of the Seratas army, but they did not have the rights of citizens.

And their basic cavalry, the KATASKOPOS (it is only known that their name means scout/explorer/spy, so I'm adding stuff)

General Info:
The Kataskopos should scout the area ahead of your army and find a nice place to hide so that they may charge & ram into the enemy. They aren't good at fighting, but they should be able to cause some damage to your enemy, keeping them busy until your main Stygian army arrives.

Historical Info:
The Kataskopos are the basic Stygian cavalry, mostly working to scout the area ahead or to be used as meat shields for the main Stygian army. Kataskopos on Stygian means scout, explorer or spy. The Kataskopos were in general Militia on horses, using pitchforks & other farm equipment as weapons. They had no armor, and were not nearly as great as other Stygian cavalry, but they had a major purpose, to ram into the enemy & keep them busy until the heavier Stygian troops arrive to battle.

Here's a little story:
The Stygians were living in a small civilization, which was constantly being raided by Goblins. While Atikas was keeping a trade-friendly relation with other nations, Seratas was protecting the whole civilization from the Goblin menace. Until one day, a noble from Seratas named Alarxi had gathered a large Stygian army & went to not just destroy the Goblin threat, but to expand the borders of Stygia as well. He had waged many wars, and now he is the King of all Stygia. This event is known as the rise of Stygia.

And now, here come some more Troops from the Stygian army, ready to great the enemy with a warm welcome, as warm as a tip of a blade if you know what I'm saying.

TOXOTES

General Info:
Stygian Toxotes are strong against infantry but weak against fast-moving units such as cavalry. Like all archers, they are more effective when fighting in larger groups.

Historical Info:
After centuries of warfare that was decided by Hoplite battle, the Stygians began using a variety of units weapons after the superiority of combined arms that was demonstrated convincingly by the Humans of the Dominion. The Stygians added light troops, mainly Peltasts and cavalry. They were slower to add archers whom they called Toxotes, because they did not have the long tradition of archery practice that created bowmen of sufficient quality for the battlefield.


PELTASTS

General Info:
The Peltast is good at countering other archers, but is weak against most other unit types.

Historical Info:
Peltasts were originally from Stygia who took their name from their light, hide-covered shield called a pelte. They wore no armor, allowing them to move rapidly on the battlefield. Each man carried several javelins, usually one meter in length. Their battlefield role was to close with heavy and slow enemy formations, throw javelins in the midst, and pull back before the enemy could catch them. If Peltasts could attack the enemy from an unprotected side, they could cause casualties and disrupt the formation before Hoplite battle was joined. The increasing use of light troops like Peltasts eventually made obsolete armies composed entirely of Hoplites.




HYPASPIST:

General Info:
The Hypaspist excels at fighting enemy infantry.

Historical Info:
Alarxi's great army of conquest included three regiments of Hypaspits. These were apparently the best of his peasant infantry and of equal status and ability of his Foot Companions, most of noble blood. The Hypaspits were capable of fighting as traditional Hoplite infantry, or could switch to javelins and lighter armor for rapid movement in rough terrain. They were used to rapidly close with the enemy and distract them, allowing the Companion cavalry to hit the enemy from a side or the rear.


HIPPIKONS

General Info:
Stygian cavalry (with the exception of Kataskopos) are expensive and slow but powerful. Hippikons are strong against archers and can strike quickly against warmachines, but are weaker against infantry.

Historical Info:
Stygian cavalry other then the scouts or elite Hetaroi were called Hippikons. The classic Stygians had foregone cavalry in favor of armies consisting entirely of Hoplite infantry. After the rise of Stygia, the use of other arms was evident. Hippikon cavalry and light troops were raised to support the Hoplite infantry.



HETAROI

General Info:
The Hetaroi are heavy cavalry of the Stygian army, used to smash into the enemies lines & cause much death & panic.

Historical Info:
The nobility of Stygia prior to Alarxi were the patriarchal heads of tribes and estates called the Hetaroi. They prided themselves on their horemanship and made up one of the elite units in the Stygian army, the king's Companions. Without the benefit of a stirrup, these mounted spearmen were still very effective in battle. Alarxi personally lead his Companions in several critical charges that won battles during his epic march to expand Stygia.




PETROBOLOS

General Info:
Warmachines can destroy buildings, but are weak against other units, especially cavalry. Stygians can use Petroboli to defeat enemy ships.

Historical Info:
The catapult most common in the ancient age was a traction catapult called a Petrobolos (literally ''stone-thrower'') by the Stygians. The power of the arm was generated by traction usually by pulling or wining down a balanced throwing arm. The best Petrobolos of the age threw stone weighing around 125 pounds. Rocks of this weight plunging down walls and buildings were capable of devastating damage.




HYDRA

General Info:
A Hydra is a Monster which breaks the lines of the enemy & cause massive panic. Great against Infantry & Archers.

Historical Info:
A Hydra is a massive Reptile with thick scales, dagger-like teeth & razor sharp claws. It also had a long neck with which it could reach it's prey from a distance. It is also very hard to kill it, because when you cut one head, two more will grow out. Only the bravest (or the most foolish) of the Huntresses may be able to train these beasts, for these creatures show no mercy to their prey, and everything is their prey.




COLLOSSUS

General Info:
A Colossus is a Heavy Warmachine used to crush Buildings, sweep away entire Regiments & slay large Monsters. It is however the slowest unit in the Stygian army and it does not last long under rapid artillery fire.

Historical Info:
The Colossus are a mix of bronze, steampunk & mystical magic, molded into a 60 ft tall Warrior, forged in battle. The Colossus are armed with massive swords which they use to sweep away enemies. The first of the Colossus was named Talos, and now he serves as the personal bodyguard of the King of Stygia. The Colossus are very rare however because the Stygians can hardly understand steampunk technology, but when the Stygians bring one of the Colossus with them into battle, the enemy may only prey to their Gods to live to see the next day.


ICARUS

General Info:
An Icarus is a great scout with it's flying ability, but it may only use it's shortbow when it lands. They are good against Infantry & Archers, but they die easily because they wear no armor.

Historical Info:
The Icarus are Stygian warriors who create wings using wood as the base, and then add feathers on it and glue them together with hot wax. When the wings are complete, they are ready to soar to the skies and scout the area ahead for the Stygian army. They wear no armor because it would make them heavier & their only weapons are their shortbows, which they can only use when they land. A wise commander would use Icarus to harass the enemy, distracting their attention before the main Stygian army arrives.

Hey 2 quick questions
1.which 2 of these 6 races should we move to the background:
stygians
reptilions
vampires
slave rebs
plain riders
visar

2.what should i try to make the models out of?

1. Well I think Slave Rebs. I mean, they are too busy with the civil war & stuff, how would they get to the continent of the Ancients when they were too busy with the war (take the Americans for example when they were in a civil war with the Brits) & I think Reptillions. because they are just too primitive to join in with the major races.

2. Plastic. Plastic doesn't brake easily, it is easy to paint on, easy to shape & convert & most importantly, cheap.

OK, so I've started the list of Stygian Units, I might as well finish it, now come the Naval Units:

TRIREME

General Info:
A Trireme is a fast Naval Unit with 8 Archers on top. They also act as Transports.

Historical Info:
This oared galley propelled the classical Stygian city states, and Atikus in particular, into a naval power. The Trireme (trieres in Stygian) was named because the oarsmen were stationed at 3 levels, allowing more men to fit on a smaller ship. A Standard Trireme was about 120 ft long and manned by over 150 oarsmen. The ships could cover about 180 nautical miles at a constant spped of 7.5 knots. They also had square sales, which could not always be used on the temperamental Sea. During the wars with the Goblins, Alarxis commanded over 200 of these ships.



JUGGERNAUT

General Info:
The Juggernaut is a slow naval unit which is great at destroying buildings, warmachines & other ships.

Historical Info:
As Warships became longer, navies began to mount larger weapons on them, such as catapults or ballistae. The Stygians constructed extra-large Triremes capable of supporting artillery, and Alakxis mounted siege towers on a pair of ship hulls during his campaign. Later Royal Stygian galleys could bristle with all sorts of towers & artillery.


CARCINOS

General Info:
Carcinos are Amphibious Sea Monsters, capable of crossing land & sea. They are very tough & are very good at engaging other monsters.

Historical Info:
The Carcinos are giant crabs that inhabit the shores and the beaches. In nature, they are found moving in vast colonies, searching for food, be it on land or sea. They also like to hide themselves beneath sand or ground to warm up. Some Huntresses saw potential in these creatures and had trained them, now being used to patrol the shores and sometimes, you could see them charging into battle.



HIPPOCAMPUS

General Info:
The Hippocampus are Aquatic cavalry, being able to move only through water. They are not good against ships, but they are great against Sea Monsters.

Historical Info:
The Hippocampus are half horse & half fish, with their lower torso of a dolphin & instead of hair, they have fins. These creatures are wild, but quite peaceful, the Huntresses are quite capable of capturing these creatures & then taming them. Then some brave & experienced Stygian spearmen learn to ride them & are then tasked to patrol the seas for any Sea Monsters or enemy ships.

Battle of Red Gouge beach(907bdc)
The Stygians were masters of the classic world ,due to there hoplites and and Juggernauts, and for 300 years they never lost a single battle. However a large goblin warband ,known as warband slappsya, invaded and took over the stygian island of Hellspout before the hoplites could respond. As Hellspout was the sole producer of iron for the stygians at the time it is unknown how the goblins did such an amazing feat. This infuriated the Stygian King Thurkus assembled the largest army and navy has ever seen to recapture their valuable island. They managed to land at Red Gouge beach with almost no resistance from any ships. The stygians managed to get almost 3/4 of their hoplites on the beach when suddenly a goblin hoard numbering in the tens of thousands disgorged itself from the many caverns on the beach and even the famous gouge. At the same time hundreds of ships appeared from Winter Pine island and began attacking the stygian navy. Unprepared for any kind of attack the stygian hoplites on the beach were overwhelmed in a matter of minutes and at least 78 triremes were sunk. The only hope the stygians had was their 100 jugernauts, unfortunately, these ships could not keep up with the shear numbers of goblin ships and so they tried to escape. However, in addition to the normal rams, catapults, and bows the goblin's were using a new weapon known as a "rumgun" and with them reaped a horrendous toll on the stygian ships. when the invasion fleet escaped the battle only about 50 ships out of the 2000 ships that went returned. This battle not only severely weakened the stygian empire and destroyed all pride they had but it also proved that the goblins were a force to be reckoned with.
how is it?

And last (but not least) the Leaders of the Stygians:

GENIKA

General Info:
The Genika is the Primary Leader of your army. He can be armed with a variety of weapons, including Spears, Javelins, Swords, Shields & Bows. He can also be mounted on a Horse, Chariot or Pegasus.

Historical Info:
A Genika (translates to ''General'') is mostly a descendant of noble blood. A Stygian General may be able to own a large amount of land & have his own personal army. The Genikas come together to meet with the King of Stygia to gain new orders, be it to repel intruders, aid an Ally, or to expand the borders of Stygia. A Genika is well respected in both the Stygian army & in the Stygian kingdom.




PAPAS

General Info:
A Papas is a Sorcerer that has a variety of powers, either to heal a friend, or to bring down a lightning bolt on a foe. A Papas may be mounted on a Horse or a Chariot.

Historical Info:
A Papas (translates to ''Priest'') is thought to be a messenger of the Stygian Gods, and they are well respected for it. A Papas usually spends his time praising the Gods for rain, healing a village from a plague, predicting catastrophes, advising a Stygian noble, or aiding a Stygian army in conquest. They are very powerful wizards, well respected in the Stygian civilization.


KYNIGOS

General Info:
A Kynigos is your Secondary Commander in the Stygian army, who is excellent at chasing down fleeing enemies or slaying Monsters. She may have a variety of weapons, including Swords, Spears, Javelins, Whips, Shields & Bows. She may be mounted on a Horse or a Lion.

Historical Info:
A Kynigos (translates to ''Huntress'') is a servant of the Stygian Goddess of the hunt. A Kynigos is usually spending her time patrolling a forest for those who do not hunt for the right reasons (which would be food, warmth, etc.) or training Monsters to be used in the Stygian army, of which the most known are the Hippocampus, the Carcinos & the all feared Hydra. A Kynigos only answers to a Stygian noble or the Goddess of the hunt herself.

Trireme - Juggernaut - Carcinos - Hippocampus

Glad I've finally finished talking about each Unit, now I can concentrate on the Stygian story more. Hope you like them

Are any of these pictures you are putting up done by you guys, or is it all just stuff you have found and are using as reference?

we are just using them as a reference.

So, I've done a quick sketch dump for some Stygian Units. Gonna do the others later. So here they are:



Units from left to right:
Upper: Perioikoi - Hoplite - Hypaspit - Toxotes
Middle: Peltast - Kataskopos - Hippikon
Lower: Hetaroi - Petrobolos (and crew) - Icarus

Alright, these are the color schemes of the Stygians:

They all have Blue skin, their hair is usually white or blue, but sometimes it can be yellow or green, pink is very rare. Same with their eyes.

The Militia (Perioikoi, Kataskopos & Crewman) & Icarus wear White robes, the details are the colors of their army (gonna cover that later)
The armor of their basic Warriors is Bronze, the armor of their Champions is Silver while the armor of their Leaders is Golden (with the exception of Papas' which wear white robes with Golden jewelry & stuff)

The army colors are the colors of their Clothes (the red parts on the pic below).
Warriors of Atikus - Blue
Warriors of Seratas - Red
The Royal Guard - Yellow

Smaller cities of Stygia have their own color schemes, which range from Black, Grey & White, to Orange, Green, Purple, Pink, Brown, sometimes even mixed color schemes.

Hope this helps

Echoes of War Stygians

''Éna kalá ekpaidev̱méno polemistí̱s eínai éna apotelesmatikó polemistí̱s. Éna kalá ekpaidev̱méno strató eínai éna niki̱fóro strató.''
-Translates to 'A well trained warrior is an effective warrior. A well trained army is a victorious army'' a saying used in Stygian training camps.

''Énas ánthro̱pos tró̱ei éna ktí̱nos. Ménoume sio̱pi̱loí.
Énas ántras kóvei éna déntro. Ménoume sio̱pi̱loí.
Énas ántras skotó̱nei éna téras. Ménoume sio̱pi̱loí.

-A writing found written in a tree which translates to:
'A man eats a beast. We stay silent.
A man cuts down a tree. We stay silent.
A man slays a monster. We stay silent.
A man defiles the forest. We hunt.'
Probably a chant of the Kyngos, Stygian Huntresses.

''We had underestimated the Goblins before, we saw them as nothing more but animals. But one day, they had proven to be cunning & devious. They were the main reason of the fall of our Empire, and it is because of us they were capable of creating weapons such as ''The Rum Guns''. We had made that mistake once, we shall not do so again.''
-A speech by Narxus, a Stygian who explained the Humans of the Dominion why their once great empire had fallen.

''Dem Stigs iz like da musheies only des blue 'n' dey got mashed by da squikies.''

''Skotó̱ste tous ólous! Deíxte tous den éleos!''
Translates to: 'Kill them all! Show them no mercy!' A Stygian battlecry.

''Ánodos Kolossós, ánodos! Ypárchoun echthroí na katastrépsoun! Ánodos kai na tous férei ti̱n katastrofí̱! Anodos!''
Translates to: 'Rise Colossus, rise! There are enemies to destroy! Rise and bring them destruction! Rise!' a chanting that awakes a Colossus from it's slumber.

hey what is the stygian flag

Well it has a symbol on it (like the pic of the shield below, except Golden/Yellow) while the Flags color itself is various, the flag of Atikus is Blue, the flag of Seratas is Red, the Flag of the Royal Guard was yellow, and so on & so on.

Im starting to write the core rulebook for fields of war. If you want a picture and or quote in there please pm it to me and i will get it in there asap.
the pics and quotes have to be original.

OK, that is enough about the Stygians, so let us start focusing on other races, like the Humans of the Dominion, Elves, Gnomes, Dwarfs, Scarecrows, Goblins, Ratkins etc.

Wouldn't you agree jaggedjaw?

yep

So, do you have any idea how would Scarecrows look like?
