Spears of Valour: Warbands

Spears of Valour: Warbands is a stand-alone skirmish version of the mass battle game. Everything needed to play Warbands is contained in this book - rules, army lists and spell lores. The world of Valaya is also presented at the end of the book for players who want to set their games in an original Epic Fantasy setting. In Warbands players can field armies of between 10-100 models and a standard game takes about an hour. Models are based individually and can be between 15mm to 28mm. The Warbands engine is similar to it's predecessor but has a few alterations to account for skirmish combat. Units move in loose groups, models may attack enemies within a 1" melee range instead of fighting in three ranks, there are a few extra special rules and details, morale has been tinkered with and new magick weapons have been introduced. What is in the Warbands book? Eleven army lists specifically designed for smaller scale warband combat: The Knights of the Lyonard Court, Baronial Courts, Goblin Warrens, Elven Patrol, Dwarfen Patrol, Stormhand Orcs, Kadeshi Patrol, Adventurer's Party, Frostaxe Barbarians, Cults of the Fallen and The Silent Kingdoms. Rules for fighting in the underworld, the astral realm and in the depths of a dungeon! The 'Bloodfeud' mini-campaign; eight scenarios ending in one grand battle which will decide who wins the campaign. New scenarios and styles of play such as 'Endless Tide'. The complete world of Valaya, from the Second Age to the Fourth Age, complete with bestiary and metaphysics. —description from the publisher
