Stevewren Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I've painted a war wagon for my Free Guild army so I thought I should make some rules up for it. What do people think? Any changes you'd make, does it seem over powered or under powered? And does anyone else have any home made war scrolls they have made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdkinker Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I don't remember the old war wagon rules, but this looks fun and flavorful. How'd you draft your own warscroll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_rex Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 This is super, super cool, at first glance I'm thinking it's not overly powerful. Just from a simplicity point of view there are quite a lot of attack rows. It would maybe benefit from combining the Mancatcher, Halberd and Sword attacks into a single profile maybe with a few more attacks with no rend so maybe something like: 1" 6 4+ 4+ - 1 Another thing that comes to mind is that would it be crewed by engineers or maybe slightly less senior free peoples. If they are essentially hand gunners then the Long Rifle would be hitting on a 4+. Did you use the classic model or kit bash something newer and sexier with the Luminark horsies? A pretty picture at the top of the warscroll would also be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How'd you draft your own warscroll? I put it together in photoshop - the rules for most of the weaponry came from different war scrolls that are all ready available. The war wagon I based off the Gore Beast chariot, but lowered the bravery and upped the wounds. Horse rules came from the war alter scroll.

cb_rex Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Wow, I wouldn't have thought such an old model would look so in line with the current aesthetic. I'm going to have to scour ebay now for a War Wagon and some more of those expensive horses, (the 6 I picked up for my Knights Panther cost me an arm and a leg). If you're not rebasing it anytime soon You could just photoshop the image you've got with a bit of clone tool so it looks like its un-based going along the battlefield.

Veterannoob Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I'm sure someone will fix that typo, I'm sure. "roles = rolls" but this is exciting, as is everything coming out of Fest today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaris Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Another typo, the lower part of the profile should be melee weapons, not missile weapons a second time. Typos aside, this is looking really cool, and I absolutely love the model, paintjob and base! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veterannoob Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 You are truly a hobby expert, sir. I'm interested in making a Dwarf airship scroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Johnson Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Great work Steve, I think it may want a bit more pep though, can't see it doing that much damage. Or is that the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Alec Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Great idea! I thinsssk it's both a bit too complex and a little underwhelming in output though. Combine most of the weapons into "Halberds and Swords", Mancatcher and Horses Hoofs. The shooting weapons could be combined into Handguns with more attacks and the Hochland Long Rifle for specific damage. You'll increase the damage output and massively simplify using it. Love the special rules though! Very characterful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
