They draw on both historical sources and the CREATING ARMIES ARMY SIZE A 2,800 point army created from these lists will be the same approximate size as a 2,000 point army created from a period supplement. This self-contained sub-period will be the subject of a separate document. Readers will note that there are no chariot era armies in the book. Some lists will cover an army over a considerable period of time and others may focus on a specific time, possibly representing the army under its most famous commander, or at the peak of its success. There are also some rules amendments for which there was insufficient space in the main rulebook, and in the appendix, players will find the rulebook errata to date collected together. A number of additional rules are utilised, and are listed below. These lists do not have the special supplement rules that can impart a particular period flavour. The book is not intended to replace the detailed period supplements, and anyone with a keen interest in a particular period is recommended to study the relevant supplement and use the more detailed army lists therein. Players should of course note that some out of period pairings are too extreme to give a good game, and opposing Gallic warbands with French Ordonnance knights and artillery, for example, is an experience best avoided.
Those that inevitably still haunt the following pages are definitely not their fault! Martin Gibbins INTRODUCTION The aim of this book is to increase the number of armies for which Warhammer Historical army lists are available, and at the same time to provide them in a format where the same points values are used across all lis ts, allowing “out of period” games on an equal footing for those who wish to indulge in them. I would particularly like to thank Tommy Brown, Alex Buchel, Jean-Baptiste Folley, Tim Haslam, Yannick Meyer and Mark Muslek for their help with thrashing out the points system, proof reading and generally catching mistakes. I have also trawled the WAB-related web fora for good ideas.
They draw on both historical sources and the work of the writers of existing and future Warhammer Ancient Battles supplements, and I would like to thank John Bianchi, Alex Buchel, Allen Curtis, Mike Evans, Warren Gleeson and Jeff Jonas for making their work available for use.
These lists tie in with the new second version of Warhammer Ancient Battles. 1 FOREWORD Welcome to the new Armies of Antiquity.
