[Orruks, Giants, Ogors & Leviathan]

That's a pretty neat ether-squid, must be hell to transport though. Where did you get it? :-)

[The Battle Begins Tournament Report and Top Army Lists]

Thanks for posting. That third place list is an interesting mix. Haven't seen such a mix before, as usually if you mix Skaven and Nurgle Daemons it's Warp Lightning Cannons or Plagueclaws, but I can see where his list would provide him with some nice shooting to supplement the Nurgle Daemon resilience.

[Path to Glory Campaign]

Sounds fun with the Co-Op mode against AI (if I understand you correctly).

I have been toying a similar idea ever since I played Zombicide, and maybe using the AI and "noise mechanic" from that game to control NPC enemies in a game like Mordheim, or maybe in a game of Path to Glory. It would be ideal when used with Skaven I think, which could simulate games like Vermintide very well :-)

I'd like to hear your ideas for controlling AI too.

1 thing I'm considering for modified Path to Glory is using artifacts as special scenario rewards. For example, my campaign will be map-based, with one location being a grave yard. The victor of the first battle there can have their Champion hero enter the Necromancer's Mausoleum, and if he can fight his way past X Zombies/Skeletons/Spirit Hosts, then he can raid the necromancer's coffin to claim a random Death artifact. Said artifact can then be kept (and claimed by an enemy hero should yours be slain) or offered to your patron god in exchange for a roll on your artifact or hero reward table.

That's some pretty good ideas. Thanks for sharing!

I think our group should consider maybe using some of that too, at least the rule about being able to loot artefacts off of the leaders of the other warbands. That should like it could be fun :-)

Well we are going to apply points per model, so if you were going to start out with Ironjaws , you could bring the Megaboss and some Ardboys at 18 points each. Im not even sure we will be using the army composition rules from GH?

I will go and ask @Spiky Norman, he is our rulez guy.

Yea, we won't use the Matched Play requirements of having Battleline units.

 

Actually here is all of the supplementary rules we'll use - Although the number of points for draw/wins may be subject to change:

STARTING A WARBAND
A Warband must consist of warscrolls from one(1) Grand Alliance.
Each Warband gets 300 points starting out.
Each Warband must compose of a minimum of 1 Hero and 3 Non-hero models, and a maximum of 1 Monster/Behemoth, Warmachine/Artillery and Hero per 300 points.
Named characters and Battallions are not used.
The leader of a Warband must be a Hero.
The leader can choose a (1) Command Trait. This trait is permanent, unless the Warband changes leader.
Each Warband have a (1) Battle Trait from the chosen Grand Alliance or a suitable Battletome.
Artefacts can be bought at 60 points, max. 1 artefact per Warband.
A Warband uses the Rewards table based on their Grand Alliance:
Grand Alliance: Destruction = Ironjaws
Grand Alliance: Death = Death
Grand Alliance: Chaos = Pick one from the Chaos tables
Grand Alliance: Order = Pick Stormcast, Seraphon or Fyreslayers

UNITS IN WARBANDS
When buying new units, you can buy single models for their individual price. Example: You can buy 3 Skeleton Warriors for 3/10 of the price of the Warscroll, even if the Warscroll notes that the minimum unit is 10. Prices are rounded off to nearest whole point.
If the Warband have units with less models than the Warscroll minimum, you have to fill those up before you can buy new units of the same kind - That is no duplicate 'under-strenght' units at a time.
If a unit contain less than the Warscroll minimum, none of the models counts as unit champion, but can still be musicians, carry banners etc.

UNDERDOG BONUS
Each Warband that have less than 40+ points of the opponent(s), can roll once (1) on the Triumph table. The effect from the table last only for one battle.

AFTER THE MATCH
After each battle each participating Warband gets 1d6 x10 points added to their Warband. If the battle was a draw participating Warbands can reroll their 1d6 once. If a Warband got a Minor Victory they get to roll 2d6 and pick the highest, and a Major Victory awards 2d6+3 and pick the highest.
A Warband can choose to pay 60 points to roll once (1) on a (1) Rewards table.
A Warband can save up points to a maximum of 300 points.
If a leader of a Warband died in battle, you can nominate a new leader (Must be Hero). It can be the same as before, or a new Hero. If a new Hero is chosen as leader, the leader can pick a new Command Trait.

BATTLEPLANS
Each Warband must win the Battleplan: The Monolith with a Major Victory to win the campaign.
Opponents agree with their opponents on what battleplan to play. If they cannot agree, roll 1d6 and the highest pick the Battleplan, the lowest roll get to pick sides.
If a Warband is 1 Glory point from winning the campaign, and have not yet won a Major Victory in the Battleplan: The Monolith, then the Battleplan is automatically 'The Monolith'.
