| There's a sticky in the rules section for questions pertaining to starting warbands, but if you're going to include the warband's fluff later on, then this is a valid place to post.
Your warband right now has great flluff to it, but it doesn't seem very competitive. With 7 models, you'll be rout testing after two losses, and with only two expendable units, there's a good chance you'll lose heroes, causing your post-game to suffer. It also reduces your chances to promote a hero early on, which the ostlander band desperately needs, starting with only 4 heroes.
Spears are very rarely worth their cost, and certainly not in a starting warband. Pistols, swords, and helmets have their uses later on, but I find they are not worth any of the precious 500 starting gold. Removing these items saves 95 gold. That's enough to replace the weapons with clubs, daggers, or axes, and hire 3 new henchmen, or two and some ranged weapons. I would suggest the new hires be jaegers, and switch your kin over to jaegers as well. They have the same stats for the same price, but they have the bonus of being able to use a few more ranged weapons. | |

| Thanks for sharing! If you're fighting against a 5 model band , then by all means, 7 is plenty for you. - dwi wrote:

I think it's mainly just a problem with the Mordheim Warp Hunters (i.e. nightrunners) plastic models. I have a metal mordheim black skaven model here whose arms are half the diameter of the mordheim plastics' arms. His fist is roughly a third the size of the plastics' fist. I have some plague monk arms here, and the same can be said for them. I'm not quite sure why the night runners' sculptor chose to give them ogre fists. | |

I Am Trying Too Revise It A Bit So It Can Be On Pair With Some Of My Other Warbands | |
