[WFB] The Banner of Whapping

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.miniatures.warhammer (More info?)

After that last exchange about the BSB for Bretonnia, I have decided that
the Bretonnians need another banner - the Banner of Whapping. It can be
carried only by the BSB of course and he gets to fight with it. It
functions like a lance on the charge (+2S), then after that he is whapping
enemies in the head with it (+1S).

Since the guy cannot carry a shield, he swoops in like ninja-knight,
swinging the banner of whapping. Perhaps the Quarterstaff Banner would
sound better?

Heehee I like this. I really do. I'd pay 25 points for such a banner.
The Sword of Might (+1S) is 20 points and a lance for other paladins is 4
points, 1 points for coolness.

Perfect, we can add a Bretonnian swarm, the dragonfly swarm...they have the
lowest weapon skill possible and any successful wound by them has an
annoyance save of 2+ for the wounded, but they have a 2+ armour save
followed by a 2+ ward save. You can't kill them and they don't hurt you.
Haha however, the model must be absolutely gorgeous and you must paint them
in metallic blues, greens, golds and silvers - the wings come made out of
carnival glass for that oil-slick look.
