edonil Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 So...I just came up with a stupid idea for a Warmachine campaign. A Mordheim styled campaign, using the Iron Kingdoms rulebook to make custom Journeyman Warcasters... >.> And make it an escalation league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Monkey Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 That is so crazy it might work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Some infantry for Dust..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Yeah. Start with a caster, a squad and a warjack, maybe? 10 Points or so. Keep it all objective based. Have to pick a nation, unless you're playing a Merc, and then you have to pick a contract. If you pick a nation, you need to use the nation specific rules from Kings, Nations and Gods to represent your training. At the end of a match, if your caster is alive, you can use the Bonding rules for a warjack, then...level somehow. Would need to look over the XP system again, and think about how rapidly you want to level. Alive, get 1 XP without a doubt. If you don't mind the balance going out of whack, get bonuses along the lines of Through the Breach? Say, based on your second class, you get the opportunity to get an extra bonus. So if you go Warcaster/Field Mechanik, you can earn XP for repairing 'jacks. If you're a duelist, get bonuses for killing squad leaders. ...this could work. And be a ton of fun. What infantry are you looking to add? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Some command, some heavy rangers and either a recon or a flamethrower platoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Oh, sounds like you're adding a whole new battlegroup in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 No, sounds like you don't! lol Hmm...now I'm trying to think of a faction to do if we start up the escalation league. Can't do Cryx or Retribution, no nation specific rules there. Llael might be interesting, but I'm not sure what I'd want to do for infantry and such. I think I'm really picking between Cygnar, Llael and Menoth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Cygnar!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Kinda thinking that, honestly. Maybe do a Storm Lancer/Warcaster? That would be different, and give me a good excuse to pick up Laddermore's model... >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Take an ironclad, ironclads are awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I might... might try to do up a conversion for a Stormclad based off one, honestly. They are a little pricey for an escalation league that is probably gonna start at around 10-15 points without any Warjack points, though! Ironclads or Stormclads, lol.

edonil Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hm. Right now, I'm thinking of a Storm Lancer for Cygnar, a Field Mechanik for Llael, or an Exemplar for Menoth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Aw, damn. I can't combine Storm Lancer with Warcaster right off the bat, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Monkey Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I would probably do a Trencher caster.... but I like trenchers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Screw those metal models. I built and painted those before. The blades drove me nutty, the connection point was so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
