Indus Lists?

[GrumpyOldMan]

Hi

I was looking at some of the small Thai Brass amulets and considering whether they could be used in a Warmaster army, and the thought came to me of an Indus list. I have the Warhammer army pdf but I seem to remember that there was an Warmaster Indus list about. Does anybody have any info?

Also Khmer and Tibetan come to mind as possible good sources for armies - Yeti anyone? 

Cheers, thanks for any info.

The Fan-based Orriental Design Group did several list based on that area, and eg. based on the shangrila mythos (for the Tibet list)

Hi Lex

Thanks for the reply.

The Fan-based Orriental Design Group did several list based on that area, and eg. based on the shangrila mythos (for the Tibet list)

I came across the Oriental Warmaster Yahoo group but there doesn't seem to have been much traffic since 2006 and when I request to join there is a robot email sent that says:-

"Are you aware that :


1. it's not a general discussion or resource group.


2. this is a development Team that works under a design brief from Fanatic


3. if you join, you be expected to contribute in terms of playtesting, list proof reading, new ideas, fluff generation, artwork etc. AND to stick with the designated army under discusion.


4. Also to keep confidence until our offerings are accepted or declined by Fanatic.


If you can comply with the above, then could you tell us what you will be bringing to the Team. Please adress this at:
oriental_warmaster-owner@yahoogroups.com"

I've written but I don't know if here is anybody at the owner's address. I was hoping somebody had the Kingdoms of Ind list already and was willing to share. The Shangri-La list sounds interesting too.

Thanks again, will continue to poke around to see what I can find.

Cheers

Hi

I got an automated email from the Oriental Warmaster Group that says:-

Hello,

Your request to join the oriental_warmaster group was not approved.
Your membership was automatically rejected because the moderator didn't
approve it within 14 days.

Does anybody have any of the files from this group squirreled away on their hard drive? Would be a shame if this was lost altogether.

Cheers

Hi

Making a start on a Kingdoms of Ind list, have done  a basic list and a lit for one of the seven kingdoms, Singha which I've based on a Northern Indian/Steppe Nomad type army.

Still to do for basic list:-

Spells

Army lists for:-

Kurya - will base it on Rajput style army - lots of charging armoured cavalry, no/few elephants. Maybe infantry upgrade
Gandharva - probably a Ghaznavid style army  armoured spear and bow infantry and cavalry, armoured elephants, living in mountains with access to iron ore.
Lakshana - basically a generic list but with the addition of Corsairs/Thieves, elephants, gunpowder weapons and Vanara monkeymen.
Bhalluka - basic list with armoured elephants, Vanara and chariots.
Panchala - basic but with Vanara, gunpowder weapons and tiger riders
Kosala - upgrades of infantry, possibly with pike, Vanara and chariots, few cavalry maybe gunpowder

All this is just my musing and is open for discussion. I don't claim to be an expert in Warmaster or in writing army lists.

Cheers

Hello Lex

Thanks for this. I can sit down and happily potter through it now.

Imcidentally I started this thread because I was looking at Thai brass amulets. Below is a scan with some Copplestone infantry and Pendraken cavalryman for size comparison. Not a great scan but useful for size purposes. The ones I bought are around $4-5 US.

The ones I got are from http://stores.ebay.com.au/nagabronzestatue/ and they have better pictures of their stuff.

Hello

Thank you for the link. The lists show a great deal of cross fertilisation between the French Warmaster players. They make for interesting reading. It just makes you wonder how many other lists are lurking hidden on various pages. I know I was very happy to get access to the Indus and Shangri La lists. Were there any other lists created by the ODG?

Just re-reading the Warhamer Kingdoms of Ind book now to look for possible scenarios  :-

CONTACT WITH THE OLD
WORLD
Apart from the occasional spice merchant from the Empire, it is unlikely that an Old Worlder will ever come into contact with the Indans. Most Indan trade, such as it is, is conducted with Cathay and Araby. It is from Cathay that the first caste purchased their cannons, the only gunpowder weapons present in Ind, and their use is restricted to members of the upper caste only. Elven travellers are not an uncommon sight in the east of Ind, however. The other exception is a small trading colony of Marienburgers who occupy a small island off the south coast. Their presence is tolerated most of the time, though it has not been unknown for the Marienburgers and Indan of either persuasion to come to blows.

This does not mean the Kingdoms of Ind are free from threats however, for in the dark jungles, evil Rakshasha dwells, along with the minions of the daemonic Asura, waiting for an opportune moment to strike. Dark Elf Black Arks filled with slave taking raiders show up from time to time, a true horror to the coastal cities. Hungry Ogres sometimes wander down from the Mountains of Mourn, seeking employment as mercenaries at best, and  Indans for food at worst. Chaos Dwarf slave parties are also not unheard of, along with Hobgoblin raids and the occasional ruffle with Lizardmen from the Dragon Isles. From the northeast, the Kingdoms of Ind faces the Cathayans, and though relations are mostly peaceful now, it has not always been thus. Directly to the east, connected only by a small strip of land, are the Hinterlands of Khuresh, home of Chaos Naga, Forest Goblins, Skaven, and other vile creatures. Though they rarely move as far west as Ind, they are still a constant threat to the eastern kingdoms.

Maybe yetis can be related to Ogres  .

That sounds interesting- where is that book from? Is it actually printed? Are there many others like it?

[GrumpyOldMan]

Hello Geep

The book is available as a download from http://warhammerarmiesproject.blogspot.com.au/?m=0# . There are 18 different Warhammer books available.
