The Empire Responds to the invasion of the Uruk Hai
Speculations.
What would Uruk hai heavy cavalry look like? Wargs are wolves by nature and their backs would not take the strain . So some form of oxen? A horse from the black numenoreans? What would they be armed with? Would it be more Cataphracti in style or Roman heavy cavalry type or later knights?
My army could do with one unit of heavy cavalry and it should be Uruk-hai flavour. I could test out a spare warg rider and blend it somehow?
Also my empire baggage train is coming along nicely and I’m onto the very last kislevite, the Tsar Queen on polar bear! Brilliant.
With the baggage train has come some learning, I was googling war wagons and seeing £150 and thinking no. But during the google something came up, war wagons where real things. Muskevites had them. The Chinese had them and some medieval Europeans had a version of them. I didn’t know this I always thought it was GW high fantasy! I now need to make my religious wagons rules that reflect war wagons in history and make two war wagons to go with my train. 1st corp seem to have a couple nice ones as do an Spanish company for 35 euro. Where else may have some?
Trolls on speed with mini-mumakil-like platforms on their back – that’s heavy cav!
Unfortunately I’ve known people on speed. Most likely the troll would find a patterned plate and spend 7 hours repeatedly turning the plate saying “that’s quite interesting, that’s quite interesting, that’s quite interesting……’
Or running in circles looking for a bus they are late for 5 fecking hours!!
But pedantry aside 😅, it’s heavy as heavy cavalry! Maybe 4 trolls carrying a war palanquin with berserkers on top!
War wagons – Warbases has one in mdf, Essex miniatures has a few as well.
Cheers man! Looking at those Essex ones now.
Fireforge and 1st Corps do some nice Hussite War Wagons
