This is the first post in a series covering my new army project. As I mentioned on previous podcasts, I am putting together a Araby themed army using the Empire and Dogs of War rules.
I am a big fan of Frank Millers Graphic novel and movie “300″ so I want this army to be similar in apperance to the Persian hordes. As you can see the colours are very drab in an attempt to emulate Frank Millers imagery.
This miniature is the first model painted. The army will primarily be made out of Black Tree miniatures. Characters and other bits and peices will come from the Hell Dorado Sarrasins range.
Let me know what you think
Stay tuned for more updates
That’ll be really interesting to see how this army comes together if you keep with the 300 theme. Do you intend to use any gun powder units like pistoliers or outriders or even a great cannon. (Gasp) an empire army without a great cannon would be interesting to see how it plays.
It would be awesome if you used masses of infantry with many detachments. As an empire player I’m really interested to see where this goes and how it works on the battle field. I hope for 6 detachments of 10 archers to help blot out the sun, 3 units of 25 spearmen, some ogres, some greatswords (imortals).
Because at its heart of hearts empire is an awesome hoard army and not alot of people use it as such.
