Salute releases - The Artist, Alpha Jenta, Dhogu

[Carcharoth]

I have playtest rules for them... I'll share them in full shortly, but as a very quick summary:

• basic troops are 15pts with Ranger and a single stone combat recast.
• The bows lose the recast, but have a short 2-stone ranged attack.
• The Yirnak are a bit tougher and have Charge.
• I'm unsure of the captains yet, but they'll have slightly better stats and possibly Scout.
• The Skinner (2 knives) is a beast handler accompanied by skerrats. He will be good in combat and have Scout, but I'm not certain of the details beyond.
• Skerrats will feature quite a lot in the Dhogu force - fast moving little critters that will be useful in support.

I hope that's a good start!

Really nice figures once again. Will have to have a chat about bulk buying deals... I'm already thinking through the options for a Delgon force to oppose my Fubarnii, along with the Fubarnii reinforcements.... and now these too! So many models, so little chance of smuggling them past the GF's watchful eye...

Merci sir!

I'm intrigued to see what the hook-stave is capable of.

Two thoughts on the hookstave so far, but not fully decided yet...
1: hookstave as a sign of leadership. A bit boring, but neat.
2: hookstave denotes a beast handler - possibly lose the combat recast but gain beast handler and some sort of beast-related ability.
Or something else...

...some kind of sweeping decapitation attack?

A great looking set of minis! Will they have mercenary rules?

I think you could come up with a reason they would fight along side Delgon or Empire troops

[Carcharoth]

I see the dhogu working primarilly as a stand-alone force or as Delgon allies (although they won't work with greater or lesser authority). However, you could also use them as empire allies for a more northern clan, or as mercs that have relocated in the south. I'll eventually do some guidance on forces for different regions.

HI Mike - two of the guys at the Guildford Club were asking me last night if WoT was going to be at Salute this year as there's no note of it on the website as such, only the linkl at the top back to Salute 2011. May be worth putting something up? They are now of course fully informed and will be popping by - I trust you'll sell them copious quantities and get me some opponents where I've been failing!

A request has been sent to the web guy (Tom), so hopefully there will be a few updates on the site very soon!
More than happy to show your friends the game
