Byzantii Encounter (499) Muster - Am I doing this right?
Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2023 12:00 pm
Hello, new to Darklands and I've been pouring over the muster rules in advance of putting together my first muster. Note I put this list together under 2.02 rules, but reviewing the new 2.03 nothing has changed that effects my list, just this is being done under the 'Master' mustering because of the use of a companion.
I wanted to use demi-units and fiends alongside the more conventional Byzantii troops, so the most economical choice for a general is the Demioption. He will take a unit of Demilegionarius as his sworn unit, at this battle size the effective size is halved, so 4, but the minimize size is 5 so for now that's what he'll take. Wanting some ranged options, I add a unit of 3 Ignilegionarius bound to the Demilegionarius.
To add some heavier-hitting units, I add a Petitioned Unit of 3 Fiends, and since I like the Shield-Wall models I will give them scutums for an additional 2 points per model.
I add a Magnus Infernum as a sorcerous companion to the general, and take two invocations, Demonfire and Summon Demon.
I also want to bring a Tesserarius as a commander for a Legionarius unit, taking a unit of 16.
This gives:
General: Demioption, Authority 72, cost 41
Sworn Unit: 5 Demilegionarius w/ cmd, cost 85
Bind Unit: 3 Ignilegionarius, cost 60
Petitioned Unit: 3 Fiends w/ cmd, w/scutums, Authority 29, cost 114
Companions: Magnus Infernum, Authority 35, invocations Demonfire, Summon Demon, cost 58
Commander: Tesserarius, Authority 50, cost 12
Sworn Unit: 16 Legionarius w/ cmd, cost 128
It comes to 498 silver.
Feedback welcome! At this point I'm not concerned with whether it's a good muster, just whether it's a legal one.
Thanks!
