An example Kingdoms of Men starting warband: The Dispatch of Lord Erhinar.

We start with a Foot Guard as the Leader for 9gp, two Militia with Bows for 10gp each, and three Militia with
Shields for 7gp each. This warband has multiple bodies, but not outstanding Melee or Defense skills, and will
probably work best with the melee Militia protecting the archers as they pick off valuable enemy targets.

After a few matches, this warband has added two Militia with Rifles and two Militia with Shields and Spears.
These will add much-needed ranged firepower, and protection for those new ranged units.

152

An example Elven starting warband: The Greenknives

For a Leader, well take a Kindred with a Shield, for 13gp, and two Kindred with Bows for 16gp each. While
few in number, this warband has some enviable ranged firepower and accuracy. If they can keep the archers
out of melee, they can whittle the enemy strength down in a hurry.

A few matches later, and the Greenknives have added three Kindred with Spears and Shields, and another
Kindred with a Bow. Now they have a strong defensive line, giving the archers even more time to wreak havoc.

153

An example Undead starting warband: The Red Ladys Entourage

The Red Lady will be the leader, of course, and will be a Soul Reaver for 18gp. Adding onto that are two
Zombies at 4gp each, a Skeleton with a Shield for 10gp, and a Skeleton with a Spear and Shield for 13gp.
While this warband doesnt have any ranged options, they can shred enemies in melee with ease.

Some additional gold later, and the warband has expanded to include two more Zombies, another Skeleton
with Shield, and a Revenant with a Shield. Still lacking ranged options, they are deadlier than ever up close.

154

Another example Kingdoms of Men starting warband: Barretts Privateers

For a Leader, well take Captain Barrett himself, making him a Foot Guard and giving him a Brace of Pistols
for a total of 23gp, and using the same Foot Guard with Brace of Pistols stats for 23gp with the first mate, Mr.
Harker. While theyre few in number, this warband packs some devastating firepower.

After finding more crew members in the ruins, the warband has added Steady-Hand Pete, the helmsman, Fat
Bill, the ships cook, and Mark Smitty, the cabin boy. Now most problems can be solved in volley of gunfire!
