Warlords Of Erehwon "Science Fantasy"
Beta Orc Warband List
Welcome to the first of my Warlords Of Erehwon "Science
Fantasy" beta warband lists. These lists, while not official in ANY way,
were built after reverse engineering the Warlords Of Erehwon points system.
Because of this, and because they were repointed using Rick Priestley's official point system when he released them, these lists should balance with the other
"official" warband lists that Rick Priestley has released on
his website. This should allow you to play against normal fantasy armies.
Why "Science Fantasy?" Well, my first
miniature wargaming loves involved games that mixed the genres of science
fiction, fantasy and modern wargames and when Rick created Warlords Of Erehwon
it was to provide players with a miniatures agnostic game system that allowed
them to play with the old fantasy models in their cupboard. I still own
mountains of models that fall somewhere between sci-fi and fantasy from my
earliest days as a wargamer and I want to be able to dust them off and use them
when playing WoE as well.
Below is the first of my beta warband lists that matches the generic orc tropes from the grim dark genre that will hopefully give players enough leeway
to create forces using their old models. I have gone out of my way to not
change a single rule in the game and all of the following lists are meant to be
used in conjunction with the regular Warlords Of Erehwon ruleset. This is why,
for example, psychics use magic... they are just mages under a different
name.
Because I did not want to change the rules to
make shooting any different but because I wanted guns to be a more viable
choice in these lists, I paid the points to increase the accuracy profile of
every model in every list. Additionally every ranged weapon in the lists below
are based on existing weapons profiles in the normal game.
I would like to thank Rick Priestley for
creating such and interesting and fun ruleset and thank you for taking the time
to read this. I really hope you enjoy!
