Sure, but I DO have to worry about being Medium foot if fighting mounted or Heavy foot. So the 1 per 3 is harder to get as is 25%.philqw78 wrote:I don't believe you need worry about shooting, your warriors are protected and you have plenty of cheap LF sling you can stand in front of them. A very important part of the army.thoughts and theories would be appreciated.
Good points. You could easily have 80 or more bases of Dacians, Ancient Brits etc at 800 points. I had not thought that through. It would work with HF "hairies", too, but they'd be slower and slowed by more terrain types.hazelbark wrote:I finished up my dacians and have run them now about 4 times at 800 points and they are good army.
I think the whole -1 MF thing is NOT as big a deal as people think. In fact my last tournament army was MF Dailami and always get the -1.
The idea I think with the MF armies is you just assume you are going to lose a few BGs. But the -1 is not as big a deal because you often don't have the -1 for HPB. And it usually takes awhile to get the -1 for 25% losses.
And there are some matchups that the MF impact armies will cream. I mean the Dacains can go board edge to board edge at 800 points. Where is that LH going to hid?
I've come to the conclusion that these kind of Barbarian armies are FAR LESS bad than under the previous rules I played.
I agree with you, but the -ve for being MF is a big -ve when it happens. Having a General in place limits this, and you'll likely be better than everyone else's medium/light foot, but armies like helenistics will not really fear you at all.hazelbark wrote:I finished up my dacians and have run them now about 4 times at 800 points and they are good army.

To a degree yes. But so the phalanx punches through. Then the tide rolls in from both sides and the phalanx can get hit froma nd back. I am not saying at all the Dacians are the world champions. Only that they are fun and fully capable of surprising people who think MF are a push over.DaiSho wrote:

Dal, I really like your basing. Can you give a 'step by step' of how you base your figures?Dalauppror wrote:Me and my friends had a Valentine Day painting Sesion...maybe not appreciated by all members of our families, and some of us had to go home early...
I continued on one more BG of LH
