What to do with the Komnenans
Hi
I have just received my rules and two supplements and want to get an army based and ready asap to start playing. I could go with the Venetians, who are in the process of being rebased, and tend to be the first army I use with a new set of rules.
However, I remember the Komnenan Byzantines, painted and waiting to be used. I figure, If I am going to rebase, finish basing something, it should be them. (Ihave had some of the units for nearly eight years, and still not used them!)
My problem of course, is that I don't have a list, as they are not published yet. Can anyone give me any indication of what the list for the Komnenans will look like when it is available?
TIA
Phil

Everything is on the same bases as the DBM army, except that Skythikon/Turcopouloi can be LH or Cavalry - your choice.Phillius wrote:Thanks Si.
I believe that is 21 April or something?
Can I assume that I can go ahead and start basing my spear, bow and Varangians as if they were in a DBM army?? That will keep me going for a while, until it arrives here in NZ.

True, but the Dark Side of the Force gripped me yesterday and I fielded Nikaian Byzantines - nice army.shall wrote:Richard is the best man to ask ... I am convinced he dreams of being Alexis Komnenus

My (800 point) army was:
4 x TC
3 x 4 Latinikon - Drilled, Superior, Heavily Armoured Knights (Lancers, Swordsmen of course)
1 x 4 Vardariots - Drilled, Superior, Protected, Cavalry, Bow, Swordsmen
2 x 4 Byzantine lancers - Drilled, Average, Protected, Cavalry, Lancers, Swordsmen
3 x 4 Skythikon - Undrilled, Average, Protected, Light Horse, Bow, Swordsmen
2 x 8 Foot archers - Average, Unprotected, Bow
vs
Syrian States (Damascus/Aleppo) with later Crusader allies
The Byzantine Latinikon and Vardariots swept all before them.

It is not too late to persuade us of anything you can find good evidence for. Just present the evidence.carlos wrote:It's a plan! They were the DBM army I had the most success with funnily enough. Not having the Wb(F) is a big blow. Can I maybe persuade the writers to include some sort of light spear MF?

Hmm Just thinking about this, 12 elephants in 1/72 would look pretty cool I reckon, wouldnt take up too much of the old pay packet either
