Posted on 28 September 2010 at 05:56:12 GMT I'm building my armies now.
Basically, I'm doing two figures to a stand and ten quar to a scale figure. 2 stands of four figures thus make a Quar company. A Catrawd, or Quar regiment, is made up of 9 normal companies and an assault company, when at full strength. Quar, however, seem to be a bit like the armies in the ACW and will raise new regiments or combine old ones as much as they'll fill up old ones, so you can build all sorts of mixes.
For a regular Crusader Catrawd at full strength, I'm doing 18 stands of infantry, 2 stands of assault infantry (kit-bashed flame throwers), 3 HQs, 3 light mortar stands and 3 light machinegun stands.
I'm also building a mixed grab-bag force of Crusaders which is made up of bits and pieces of old Catrawds. It has 14 stands of Guards (w/2 HQ, 2 mortars and 2 LMGs) which are remnants of two different regiments, 4 stands of combat engineers and 2 flamethrower stands (what's left of an Engineering unit), 3 cavalry stands, a Baeliog Tank and two stands of infantry guns (converted Pendraken 150mm WWII German IGs which look appropriately Quarish).
This second force will be the remnant of a full Crusader brigade and the first force will be the green, full strength catrawd sent to reinforce it.
Not sure how I'm going to do the Royalists yet. They're all cap and bare heads.
Let us know how you do your army! |
