THE SUN KING HOST for the second, Christmas, Battle

[Squeaks]

Well, we had a chat and decded that we'd do the Lindiri forces for the Battle, but we'd let YOU choose the Sun King's troops via a poll.

Basically, you'll be presented with pics of the units and a poll with many choices and 8 possible votes; you choose the 7 you want, then, at the end of the poll (at least 2 weeks from now), the highest votes win, then we add them to the battle.

We HAVE to have the Ferakine Braves and Sabrecat Riders - the battle involves them greatly. ALready sorted!!

POSSIBLE SUN KING UNITS:

LIONS OF ERYN



YOUNG SONS SPEAR



YOUNG SONS BOW



SUN KING'S SKYHORSE



STYXIAN WATCH



SCYLLAN DEVOURERS



SACRED BAND _Pike and/or mounted



Also Mounted on Barded Horses

MOONSISTERS Foot Archers and/or Horse Archers



ROYAL GUARD FOOT (SABINE GUARD)



EXILIAN GUARD



(Yes, unarmed in this pic...now armed and skins updated - finished helm and upper arms)

Now, something to bear in mind - the more 'elite' the unit is, the fewer there will be of them. Young sons are likely to have 2-3 units of any choice...hippogriffs will only have 1. SO, if you choose purely super-duper units, you'll have such small numbers you may well be overrun

-----------------------------------

REGULARS

Young sons units
Moonsisters units

VETERAN UNITS

Scyllan Devourers
Styxian Watch
Exilian Guard
Lions of Eryn

ELITE UNITS

Sacred Band
Royal Sabine Guard

HEROIC

SUn King's Skyhorse

-----------------------

There is already a second force on the battle map; the Ferkaine and a couple of others, come to war for their King....the story is better than that, but you'll have to wait to see it. This force is already decided.

Well, this is great AND very interesting. I'm quite surprised at some of the heavier voting choices. Really good to see quite a few of you joining in! Sadly I can't vote ACtually, it's not that sad, as I haven't a clue what I'd vote for....

[Torak]

Sacred Band ftw!

[Squeaks]

Well, it's getting better - you have 'til december 1st to register your votes, but it looks tighjt as to the last unit....would you prefer scyllan devourers or the Sabine Guard? If you have a preference then make it known....looks like

Royal Skyhorse (Hippogriffs)
Young SOns Bow
Young SOns Spear
Styxian Watch
Exilian Guard
Sacred Band

annnnd

either Scyllan Devourers or Sabine Guard

There's still time a plenty to change all this....

Of course, you then add the units you can't vote on because of the storyline of the battle, and you've got some downright naughty units involved. This will be FUN! I think it'll blow the first battle out of the water - the Lindiri have got some SERIOUS bowmen (the best there are), and, whilst not numerous, they're nasty....it will prove very interesting to see!

Oh; Moneybags has joined us and already done a fair bit. It's looking good on many fronts. Don't forget to check out thetroN's and Turambar & Death's sigs in the 2d sticky. They're pretty damned good.

Uhm. Well, we're nailing down exactly what we can't do out of the Ghaur Campaign list of things; many were previously sorted, but there's a few that are little terrors. Once they're sorted with prototype scripts from TNZ, we should be able to get a move on. I REALLY can't give any form of time scale (seriously, I haven't a clue), but the modelly part is going well - over 50% of all units are done for the Ghaur thing, and, considering that MANY of the units that HAVE been done aren't in that campaign at all, that's excellent...when we move onto campaign only mode, they'll get shifted pretty quickly. I think I've done about 160 units in just under 6 months, T's done many, some of which I have to finish still, and Koul's basically ripped through the Lindiri.., so that's not bad going...this is a conservative estimate too. I suppose that averages us at about 1 a day. That can only improve. Even for the Main Biiiig Campaign, there are factions pretty much complete, model wise. Sadly you can't measure the mod purely by it's models

One thing to bear in mind on the Ghaur Camapign; whilst it has some similar features and some units, it is basically NOTHING like the same game as the full campaign will be; it's a fully self contained thingy, and should be pretty sweet. It tells a tale, but is in no way restricted by that; however, you won't know much before the day you actually get to play it. I hate keeping secrets, but this is a pinky-promise one, so I can't break it...

ANyhow. See ya

[Kaiser Leonidas]

Out of the two I'd rather see the Scyllan Devourers but I don't really mind which one you pick

[HTVfanatic]

I would prefer the Sabine Guards... Great Work!!!!!!

2 More days!!

If you don't have time to vote with all 7 possibles, just say here whether you'd prefer Scyllan Devourers or Royal Sabine Guard....this seems to be the tie breaker.

[BanditKS]

I voted for the Royal Sabine Guard

[Squeaks]

Right. SOrry for MY lateness...but...

POLL'S CLOSED!!

The results are as follows:

3 Units of Young SOns Foot
3 Units of Young SOns Bow

2 Units of Styxian Watch
2 Units of Exilian Watch
2 Units of Sacred Band Pike

1 Units of Royal Sabine Guard
1 Units of SUn King's Skyhorse

-----------------------------

NOW, the senario also requires that a second force be on their way as reinforcements. This will contain 2-3 different units; not any of those listed above. This is story flavour to a degree, but they WILL have an impact for sure.

SO, I will start to give out details of the battle over the next few days.
