[[MOD Note: OK, so we have some board members in from Italy, where they run Fantasy Warriors related items and this is where to get information on what they are doing and links off to their pages. For rules discussion and so on find their posts in the relevant threads - for products, developments and so on that are more corporate in format, its here! Keep an eye out for more of their developments on this game here, starting with this!]]
I join Katie to inform you that in the armies of Naran, "Turinese" version of Fantasy Warriors, we made the armies lists for all the armies of Warhammer Fantasy, also because we were in the situation that due to the closure of the Stratelibri-Nemo (year 2000), the Grenadier miniatures were no longer available, so the only easily purchased miniatures were the GW ones. This situation persisted until the middle of 2004, when the company Mirliton of Florence intervened, which purchased from the Court the rights on Fantasy Warriors and the molds of Grenadier miniatures, resuming the production of the miniatures. But for about 4 years, the new adept at Fantasy Warriors who gradually joined our group, had to buy the GW miniatures. We are now working on a new complete edition of all the armies. At the moment the one based mainly on the GW miniatures (with square-rectangular base) already available is that of the Lizardmen: www.naran.it/naran/International/fantasy/armies/Sauryan.htmAnd this is the last battle played with them (against the Mirliton/Grenadier Barbarians) : www.naran.it/naran/International/fantasy/Gallery/Battles/Turin-Model-Expo-2018/2-sunday-April-22-Barbarians-Sauryan/Battle.htmland these are some of the images: Cheers, Belg – Naran Team Turin www.naran.it/naran/

3000 points : That is a big battle
We generally include the magic points in with the army allocation , that would be why we have not had a lot of spell throwing going on. Do you find a 3:1 ratio is best ?
As to Army lists, I would be interested to see what is proposed for the Rat warmachines.

Yeah, well I learned my lesson after that Scarecrow army burned through YIKES-loads of MP without putting a dent in anything Elf and the most successful use of the witches was running up and stabbing things...

Hello, sorry for my lack of familiarity with the mechanics of the Forum, but only today I discovered this "thread" (or whatever the hell it is called), in which I saw that the Administrators (to whom I apologize) have moved what I had posted about Naran's Lizardmen, using, as an example, one of the battles that we - Naran Team - had played. I have memorized the link to this Section of the Forum for possible future communications like the one in question.

We, since the year 2000, had inserted the rule of dividing the composition of the army into "army points" and "magic points", which obviously had to be the same for both Players. In our opinion, in this way, the opposing sides were more balanced. Please, can you clarify what you mean by the "Rats machine"?

Do you find a 3:1 ratio is best ? As to Army lists, I would be interested to see what is proposed for the Rat warmachines. In the "Naran" Rules that we have inserted, the one for the composition of the army is as follows: - the Army Points and Ars Arcana Points will be distinguished, which will be fixed for each player.
- To organized the Army, Ars Arcana Points can never exceed half of the Army Points.
Within the limits indicated above, Players are free to agree on how many magic points to use. So the answer to your question is "yes", a 3:1 ratio may be a correct value, which we often use, for example, with 3000 army points we use 1000 magic points.

Frankly, I did not understand the meaning of what you wrote. If you want to be so kind as to provide some more explanation ......

I have an army of scarecrows using the "undead" army list. The witches in it used up a lot of magic points without causing much damage to the Elves they were fighting and eventually I started using them to ride over and attack Elf characters in hand-to-hand instead...

An army of scarecrows? Really ? I'd like to see some pictures of them.

Hi, Kate, very beautiful idea of the heads replaced by Halloween pumpkins: how did you make them?
We had included the headless Knight of "Sleepy Hollow" in the Undead army - Naran expansion, which is now under review. He could be part of the army of "Sleepy Hollow", in command of your scarecrow with pumpkin heads, which we could insert in the Naran's Section "Funny Fantasy Warriors", which in 2004 I had "imposed" to do to my son Sandro (which is very more "serious" than me "). Then in the 2008-2012 edition it was held in suspense, but I occasionally go back to the "charge", even if he does a little 'the "ears of a merchant ". In this Section we had the army of Don Quixote, with the "Goblin of Notre Dame" (Victore Ugo), Gargantua and Pantagruel (François Rabelais), the "Giants of the Mountain" (Pirandello), some of the characters of the "Promessi Sposi "(Alessandro Manzoni), as well as the Baron of Munchausen (Rudolf Erich Raspe), with which - renamed Baron of Mushausen - there is Micky Mouse of Disney's" Sorcerer's Apprentice "(which, like the brooms of the film, evokes the pavise and makes them go to the attack), as well as Cinderella with her mice, etc. These following are two images of the miniature of the headless Knight of "Sleepy Hollow". the battle: www.naran.it/FantasyWars/Immagini/Battaglie/Legione_NonMorti_01/Battaglia.htmlCheers, Sergio

They're mostly commercially available figures:
Scarecrows are from: Westwind, Foundry, Rapier Miniatures.
The Witches (Wizards & Necromancers) are from: Westwind, Foundry.
Additional pumpkins are from Noch.
Headless horsemen (Wraiths) are Alternative Armies and Westwind.
Herne the Hunter (Marksman) is from Black Pyramid Gaming and the carts (Chariots) are from Warbases.

I treat them as just a plain undead army -- that seemed a fairly good analogue for magically animated things. The necromancers are a coven of witches.
In the mythology of our games, the witches of the Baarlands[1] -- especially those of the countries referred to as the "Llanis Pledges" -- act together to raise armies of scarecrows to defend the farmland in time of dire need.
The witches are also the last resort protecting the farmers from tyranny. The Crowns themselves were given to a hereditary military class to ensure the 'Pledge' to defend Llanis' mountain border with the Forever[2] will be honoured when needed: The witches ensure the holders of those crowns rule the kingdoms fairly.
In this particular case, the Profundian[3] army was 'busy elsewhere' when a band of elves, having been defeated in the Rattenlands moved into the poorly-defended rural border regions.
However, it was my first game using undead and it did not go well. A small force of Llanis heavy troops later produced an inconclusive result -- the elves were prevented from advancing towards the cities but could still journey towards the mountains or back to the Rattenlands via the coastal route.
[1] A sub-continent created as the home of humanity -- "Baarmen" -- by the first of the Gods of Men.
[2] The vast wilderness beyond the bordering mountains, bounded at the north by the Eversnow and believed to go on West and East forever. Inhabited by roaming barbarian tribes, the orc-peoples and unreachable fantastic civilisations.
[3] Profundia-Luthany is the largest of the Llanis Pledges.
