I'm interested in the Contubernia

Looking at 6.65.2.1.3 Breaking a Skirmish It seems that it's at the controlling player's discretion whether to remain a skirmish unit. What about a skirmish unit engaged in combat? As the warriors attack move and get stuck in with the enemy, they will often move to less than 2" of each other. W...

I love it, great job.

Come on down to Buckeye Battles this July in Delaware, Ohio. We'll be playing Darklands for 3 days straight!

Dan Pratt

Wikipedia just about any proper noun you see in Darklands. This game has single-handedly caused me to realize that truth is cooler than fiction.

Try these in Wikipedia for starters:

Fomorians
Ys
Gwaelod
Penda
Warp Spasm (check out the comic Slaine)
Cadwaladr, the Red Dragon

I think he looks just fine. I think the color scheme will help you easily remove him from the table in ignominious defeat.

Dan Pratt

Yay progress! Looking nice

Dan Pratt

Looking good man. Let's kill 'em!

Don't you wish our US buddies would come play with us at Buckeye Battles in July? That's were these guys will face some Brythoniaid burny doom.

Dead warrior objects are to be represented with an "object strength equal to the dead warrior's strength exactly where his base was" (2.7.3.3.2) Does this translate to tokens whose diameters match strength in terms of base size as outlined in 2.3.3.5.1? For example the battlefield should b...

Dan Pratt

Ambush, if you pass your skill test, leads to a direct engagement (6.15.3.1.2). Bear in mind that you must fill up the enemy arc in which the majority of each engager's base lies (6.10.6.1). In diagram, 1-3 would go into sight arcs, 4 & 5 can hit blind arc of front rank, 6-8 have the blind arc. ...

I think painted paw-hand prints or maybe a large bold crude simple design. Fang It!

As Darklands grows and more players join us, and with local events and international campaigns kicking off. I want to propose the following idea: We all love fluff and studying the background of our forces and maps of game worlds. Darklands is unique in that the reference material for the game, both...

Dan Pratt

Was playing a 999g skirmish the other night (the "Capture the Homestead" scenario for the international campaign - play it!). And had this situation come up: A unit of elite Warriors of Baalor were activated under attack orders. Very close by was another bloodied unit of WoB that had just ...

Dan Pratt

Generals and commanders in Darklands are not invincible blenders (especially true for human-sized warriors (30mm)), they are warriors with above average stats and an important role in your host. How do you play them? Do you join them to a unit and expose them to enemies in the front rank? Do you kee...

Dan Pratt

The Angelcynn Forboda profile for use as the messenger for scenario 1 is not available in the public Angelcynn v1.21 muster. Maybe add the stats to the page?

Dan Pratt

I love this. We'll be playing in Kent, OH

Dan Pratt

Looking good man. Can't wait to see your guthwulf style translate to the werwulfas.

Dan Pratt

I'm interested in all Fomoraic except helmed Daarkan

Dan Pratt

1) Darklands is still a game in its infancy This is the best part! By participating in Darklands you are getting in at the ground floor of something very special. You get to be involved in the evolution of this entire process. Jumping in at the beginning of a new game as big and unique as this one ...

Dan Pratt

Hey, you're roughly a 2hr 20min drive frome Delaware, OH where we'll be playing Darklands during Buckeye Battles in July. Come by and hang out!

Dan Pratt

Thanks! It's all getting smoother with each game.

Dan Pratt

Attention All US Darklands Players & Fans (and also our friends across the globe) Buckeye Battles is a large 10-year strong event that is held annually in central Ohio that typically consists of three days of Warhammer Fantasy (1 day Team Tournament, 2 day Grand Tournament) +/- peripheral 40k, ...

Dan Pratt

Below is how a trample action played out in a recent game. The trample is complex enough and new to me such that I'm certain we must have done something not totally right during this. So please check it over. It is my hope that this and any revisions to it can help people properly execute this acti...

Primary Kindreds: All of 'em I'm completely enamored with Darklands. I see it as a decades-long pursuit if all goes well. Because it is not feasible to collect, paint, and play with all of the Kindreds at once and since the game itself uses the seasons, I focus on 2 kindreds each actual season. For ...

Dan Pratt

Welcome Dustin! The whole forum just got a little more ugly and malodorous. I look forward to your future posts!

To echo that, come over to Northeast Ohio. Dustin & I are happy to play/teach Darklands.

Dan Pratt

Thanks! I'll check it out.

Dan Pratt

We need a little help to clear some confusion: 4.1.1.5 Attach Order Tokens When battle orders are decided upon, both players must attach the appropriate order tokens (face down) to each unit within the general's command, each commander and each individual outside of a command. What about units withi...

Dan Pratt

Looks great!

What do you use for the rust? Some kind of weathering powder?

Dan Pratt

Thanks guys. Not sure if it's a printer issue of a document issue, but I printed the linked file and measured with a ruler and they're off a bit.

They're spot on when I print straight from Word but are shrunken when PDF'd. I'll post an updated version soon.

Dan Pratt

Several Kindreds currently possess very cool invocations that create permanent area effect templates. I've made some templates that you can print off and use now to get you through your games until spiffy acrylic ones show up down the road: Anglecynn Tanglethicket 4" Byzantii Conflagration 5&qu...

My mission is to reduce barriers to people fully learning and playing Darklands. Therefore, here are links to some simple aids to print off for the Attack, Shoot, and Invoke Actions. Each one shows the charts for Attack/Parry, Shoot/Evade, and Invoke/Avoid along with their respective beneficial (gre...

Hello All, I see many people post their work, so I figured I should aim to do the same. I hope it will motivate me to get my whole collection painted, and I especially hope to improve my painting skills to do these excellent models justice. First off are six Ysian Brutes: https://preview.ibb.co/mkLE...

Dan Pratt

Absolutely! I'll make it neat and aesthetic. Just wanted to get the idea out there.

Dan Pratt

I'm developing a "control panel" with the aim of managing seasonality, weather, wind, and time quickly and concisely in a manner that gives an at a glance summary to the players. These have been very useful when teaching NOTE: Photos are crude and barbaric prototypes, Compass will be separ...

Dan Pratt

I have a goal to establish a tradition of making an annual or biannual trip to the UK, fueled by a love of Darklands, wargaming, history, and heritage.

If I were to plan that around a particular event or convention, what do you think is best? Salute?

Dan Pratt

Right, there is a Trample direct engagement action and a Trample weapon type (like "sword," "bow," "axe," etc)

Dan Pratt

It does, thanks for the confirmation. That's how we've been playing it.

Dan Pratt

Welcome!

Your'e a 4 hour drive from us in Kent, Ohio, but that's not entirely unreasonable. We are building a community and hope to run small events. The future is bright. Stay tuned!

Dan Pratt

Blind parry: the oghu stones strapped to oghurs' backs grant them extra armour and a beneficial parry modifier, but ONLY if they're being attacked in the blind arc.

Also,if attacked by a stronger enemy, the parry modifier is negated but not the armour+, correct?

Dan Pratt

You cannot perform a trample action against an enemy warrior if their strength is greater than half yours. Does this apply to "trample" type weapons too? Example: A guthwulf cannot perform a trample action against an oghur (strength 6 vs 4). Can the guthwulf still use his trample type comb...

Dan Pratt

If I understand the Attack Action rules. A monster with multiple combat weapons MAY choose to resolve the attacks from each of them simultaneously, as one big attack or individually as separate attack actions, right? Example: Unit of 3x Guthwulfas My opponent did claws+bite+trample > breakthrough Bu...

Also:

6. Curadh is listed as Warlord, but seems more like a Warchief

7. Kindred and realm on horse profile read "Angelcynn" and "Mierce" - which might be correct if they're stolen or something!

Dan Pratt

I'm looking through the new Erainn muster and I have a couple of questions: 1. Does a horse for a Curadh truly cost zero gold? 2. Drui - Danu's Power: the text here mentions a D10 Earth Power Roll and boxes are shown from 1 through 10. Is this a break of the normal 0-9 convention established by the ...

Dan Pratt

The constant math for C+A could potentially be simplified by adding adding damage boxes in front of the health boxes in a different colour (grey for example). This would remove the math of constantly updating the C+A in your head although graphically this does pose a problem for armour options unle...

Dan Pratt

Hello! I've been checking the Norse muster w/ each update and I haven't noticed any of the changes discussed above. Wrong file perhaps?

Just a fyi, keep up the good work.

Dan Pratt

Wow, nice! I've been reading about Uhtred in Cornwell's Saxon Stories. I'm jealous at your ability to access such cool sites. That's one of the things I LOVE about Darklands, the reference material is real, even the fantastical stuff comes from our own folklore/mythology.
