Armies of Oerth, Part V: Erac's Cousin

Continuing Gary Gygax's Orders of Battle for certain renowned figures from the World of Greyhawk...

Per the Field of Glory rules, the ratio used is still 25 men-at-arms per base.

The Unnamed's Army List
(a.k.a. Erac's Cousin's Army List)

Commander-In-Chief: The Unnamed
a.k.a. Erac's Cousin (MU of at least 16th level) = 1 base
Once a servant of Good, this very malign individual now serves Hell with will and enthusiasm. Erac's Cousin is seldom seen without a red-eyed rat upon his shoulder. It is also stated that this mage is able to wield a sword with great proficiency (6th level fighting ability!).

Medium Cavalry: 50 (Guards) = 2 bases
(3 models/base; riders on horses, leather armour & moderate shields, hand weapons)

Light Cavalry: 50 (Regulars) = 2 bases
(2 models/base; riders on horses, no armour & small shields, hand weapons)

Light Horse Archers: 50 (Regulars) = 2 bases
(2 models/base; riders on horses, no armour & small shields, bows)

Heavy Infantry: 100 (Regulars) = 4 bases
(4 models/base; foot troops, heavy armour & substantial shields, hand weapons)

Heavy Archers: 100 (Regulars) = 4 bases
(4 models/base; foot troops, heavy armour & substantial shields, bows)

Pole Armed Infantry: 100 (Regulars) = 4 bases
(3 models/base; foot troops, leather armour & moderate shields, pole-arms)

So, this totals 19 bases with 59 models on them.

Whether or not any of the troops serving Erac's Cousin are humanoid is open to debate. Certainly, humanoid levies will join his forces in some strength if they are called.

Beware the Ides of March!

I will soon be taking a look at some of the larger state armies from the World of Greyhawk previously shown in the Dragon Magazine.

Next up: Wolf Nomads
