Faction Concept

The Llealese Resistance as a faction, filled with the released Lleal models from Warmachine and a big heap of new stuff added as they are completed and playtested. I separated this from the Llael compilation already made to create a little sanctum for my personal creations. I'm starting off with a 'Prime' faction army, and am expanding upwards as I go.

I'm attempting to balance the faction against the other Warmachine armies - no easy feat in all fairness. While Cygnar does range and uses well-rounded forces, Khador does heavy armor and melee-oriented forces, Menoth does high magic and martyr oriented forces, Cryx does high magic and assassination-oriented forces, Lleal is going to be all about battlefield control and quick-striking forces. Lots of tactical flexibility between the ability to infiltrate, hide, and deploy from other table edges. Likewise, lots of the Llael models are designed to quickly close to combat where you want them, delivering a savage first strike. They aren't great in sustained combats, as they get bogged down by and quickly destroyed by any sort of dedicated attention.

Basically, its an entire faction of guerillas and skirmishers with a good bit of mobility to place troops where you choose. The warcasters help with this, between Ashlynn's quick strike potential and Roulette, Gerald's ability to place bombs and clear out select areas, and Ancelin's strategic plans for a varied assualt plan. I also am going to keep most unit sizes relatively small, with very few being ten man units due to the lack of a large standing army. This is going to mean that a Llael player is normally going to have a much smaller model count than most armies, but can have the option to bolster it with models popping out of table edges etc.
