Hey all. I've had it on the drawing board for awhile, and I have a solid list of a few RoR's I would like to create for no other reason than fluffy-ness and fun.

Here's whats up:
1. Ras Tafari's Iron Lions of Zion
A unit of skirmishers from a a far-flung island fighting for the glory of their god. Rastafarian sort of theme, they will fight with a sword in each hand, and have some funny special rules relating to smoking certain herbs.
2. A unit of Ogre Slavers. They would throw big spears at models and be able to reel them back in order to chain em up and enslave them and sell them to the Chaos Dwarfs. Each successfully enslaved model nets VP's.
3. Some sort of humans who are based around Frankish Throwing Axemen. Special rules about they're Franciscas (Big throwing axes) breaking shields and bouncing around to cause multiple wounds.
4. Tarken mounted crossbowmen - Barbarian horse riders with flaming crossbow shots
5. Centaur Fast Cavalry
6. Norse Bear (Possibly Giant Fenrir based Wolves, Haven't decided) Cavalry - Badass Norsemen on Bears/Wolves with big hammers. Heavy Shock Cavalry. 'nuff said.
7. Dwarf Shield Gunners - Dwarfs in heavy armor who advance tactically with big shields and handguns. Hard to hit , hardy, and hard-hitting themselves, but slow.
8. Chaos Dwarf Flamethrower teams - I'm thinking six man teams of chaos dwarfs with flamethrowers here. Pretty self explanatory.

All of these units are just ideas in my head, and I would appreciate some feedback from you guys as to which you would think would be interesting enough to pursue into actually devoloping rules for and such. This is a group effort here, and all input is greatly valued and appreciated. Fire away boys!

A extraordinary, not easy to create unit...as a start I would take woodelf wardancers minis and rules, some rastagreenstuff, some funny new rules...it could work...perhaps...Wink
I like them, sounds like fun. Although I think someone might have played quite a lot of Age of Empires Big Grin

That said, give them a go, I look forward to see these ideas come to life Smile
There have been Rastafarians in Age of Empire??
I was thinking more of the throwing axemen and the tarkan. Seriously, some norse throwing axemen would be awesome, with +2 strength bonus to their shooting attacks and great weapons in close combat!
Love the idea of the dwarf flamethrower teams.
