Dwarves - A New Stope
As noted in a previous post, almost all of my based up dwarves have been removed for re-basing to Polemos Mythic Armies standard. I have also placed and received an order with Baccus for additional troops including Napoleonic Russian Cannon. All of this is in aid of my Steam Dwarves project. Since I am digging deep into weirdness and re-interpreting both dwarves and Baccus' minis, I'm calling the project A New Stope. In progress photos will be up in my next post on this topic.

DBMM 100 Early Imperial Roman list
Needing an opponent for my Brits, I drew up this list for DBMM100:
I did not take the required 1-6 points of palisade as I think at the 100 point level it's a bit pointless and a vexillation of this size was probably working away from the main camp where all their stakes were. I wanted to take bolt shooters just because I could but practically, 4 Cv is the more logical choice. For anti-warband work, I envisage a line of Ax backed by the Bd with the Cv on a flank. Another option is to have the Bd backed by the Ax with the Cv in the rear - but then I have been reading too much of the interpenetration section recently. If I were to swap 2 Cv for 2 Art, I would put one on each flank of the infantry block to keep the horses and chariots at bay.
Troop Type | Cost Per Element in AP | ME Per Element | Number of Elements | Total Cost of Elements | ME |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
C-in-C - Reg Bd(O) | 7 | 4 | 1 | 7 | 4 |
Equites cohortales - Reg Cv (O) | 8 | 1 | 4 | 32 | 4 |
Auxillia - Reg Ax (S) | 5 | 1 | 6 | 30 | 6 |
Legionaries- Reg Bd (O) | 6 | 1 | 5 | 35 | 5 |
Totals: | 104 | 19 | |||
Disheartened: 14 Defeated: 10 |
