3000pt Siege Army

[Wargamer]

Note: Unit Sizes and Siege Weapons.
Many weapons have various limitations,such as needing at least 10 men to use a Siege Tower properly. However, I work under the assumption that a Monstrous Creature would use its Unit Strength (so 3 Ogres could push a Siege Tower just as well as 9 Humans could...). Unless rules prove otherwise, I will assume this is correct.

All i can say is...please dont come knocking at my door with that lol. A good list which i like!!!

[Arguleon Veq]

I think your probably right about the ogre siege tower issue. I think only one would be able to attack from it at a time though, what do you think?.

The list seems great, perfectly suited for a siege battle although that many ironguts may go to waste a little as very few will get to attack for most of the battle. Still a unit that size will ensure that they get there.

The cannons should eventually bring the walls down and duellists are great for scaling walls.

I hope to see this force in the BP campaign, although if you do use it for that then the cannons will cost a little extra in normal banners.

[Wargamer]

Well the rules say that "2 men" may assault the walls at once... yet the Siege Tower model is big enough to fit 4... conclusion: 2 Ogres a turn! ;D

The battleplan is simple:

Ironguts charge one flank, Klaus and his Heavy Infantry attack the other.

The Kraken Ram heads straight for the Gate, with at least two Cannons deployed to shoot the door as they advance, weakening it for the inevitable charge.

Crossbows will either deploy as "support" units, one for each attack force, or all gang up on the fourth wall and shoot it to pieces. The Highwaymen and Slitta's men will probably attack this wall, or anywhere that looks weak.

It's seeing battle tomorrow, so we'll see if 26 Ogres can hold the fort against my advance...

'Well the rules say that "2 men" may assault the walls at once... yet the Siege Tower model is big enough to fit 4... conclusion: 2 Ogres a turn! '

Hmmm, dubious.

As only tow men can attack i'd say only one ogre can, plus one ogre is far better than two men anyway.

Sounds like it should be a great battle.

Skraggs ladz ul nhold dem boss dnt ya a worry bout dat. They is skiny ogres copared to my flab! Yes it will be a great battle i think. Just hope i do ok!

[Arguleon Veq]

So who won?.

I'd imagine it would be pretty hard to clear ogres from a castle.
