Hello all,
I had this really neat idea for a Pirate themed Empire Army (for WH Fantasy) earlier tonight and I thought I would share. The basic idea is that the Pirate Ship "Bloody Vengeance" is in Marienburg port when an Undead Army invades by ghost Ships. The Lords of Marienburg seal off the better parts of the city leaving the people of the docks quarter to fend for themselves. Captain Jackaby of the Vengeance organizes a rag tag band of locals along with the local militia and supported by a unit of the city Governor's own Greatswords who refused to stand by and do nothing.
Here is the list I came up with... (Using Army Builder)
Enjoy

That is an awesome idea, Bob. It inspires me to pull my Lizardmen or Dark Elves out of semi-retirement and put your list to a challenge.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking as the original Captain Jackaby, best army ever.

ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that with all the options available you usually go with the warbanner for your BSB.
