Discworld Warfare

This army list was started last century. I found, updated and made it available on the Web over 5 years ago. (With original authors approval). It has now been updated using additional information found on the Web, most of which was snippets on forums and the like. I don't have permission to use these snippets so if the authors wish me to give them a credit or update their ideas please contact me using the email on the home page - likewise if you wish your contribution to be removed. The colours of the text indicate where the original idea came from.

Rules for other units

You may now wish for a bigger army than that discribed or simply wish to expand it. The following character and unit details are listed to help you. Please note the limitation on unit sizes.


Heroes

These can be any named character and their relevant species from Discworld. Most likely to be the Guild Leaders with their lower minions being Champions. They can act independently or with any unit named after or raised by them i.e. Lord Venturi (human), Mr. Burleigh (dwarf).
