I can't believe I'm saying this, but Gnomes are also mentioned in the Empire Army Book. :)

I think it would be good for DM to continue with original themes, to maintain its own identity and not feel like just an alternative Warhammer; to have its own soul in a way. I'd like to play races which are not available in any other game, or at least don't look anything like in the other games (Goblins I think are a great work as they are so different from stereotype Goblins. Orcs not so much and I'd be worried Lizardmen would be too close to GW ideas). This is a big criticism of Mantic's Kings of War for instance, which although being successful does not seem to have ideas of its own unfortunately.

@Paddy649: You don't plan to use the minis for GWs 15mm Warhammer game, are you? ^^

I have to say: Some kind of vampire would be nice. Not neccessarily a whole army, but maybe as a character or something. Also the Southern Human Empire (don't have the name right now) would be easy to integrate, as they already exist. From the brief description it sounded a lot like italy/spain.

“Plan for new armies”
I put here all my propositions: South Kingdom, North Duchy, Beastmen army, Ice Witch army and Undead army.
You can add yours.
Principle for me:
- just a reorganization of armies using only existing unit.
- possibility to use them now in Demonworld version 2 as an house’ rule.

Enjoy!


OPTIONAL ARMIES.



==========================================================================================
XXXII- SOUTH KINGDOM.
==========================================================================================


Proposition’s aim.

The aim of this proposition is to play with a South Army including Luciano Dorca and the Lizardmen with the Alliance of Empire Units and the dwarven Zhara’s army. It’s an army with a lot of powder’s units and machines of war.
It can be added in the Empire Book as an optional army at the end of the book.
It also permit to give the recruitment cards of Luciano Dorca and the Lizardmen.


General composition:

-Same as Empire without Emperor’s Guard, North Province and for the moment West Country and East Country and without Unique Heroes or Sorcerers.
-Central Country Unit with limitations or modifications.
-In addition: Luciano Dorca and Lizardmen.
-Alliance: Zhara’s dwarves.
-Big modification: %
This is the base of the army.


Background:

After the civil war, the new independent South Kingdom (I prefer this appellation to avoid confusion) keep his armies and form a professional army under the direction of Luciano Dorca.


COMPOSITION:

Nobles: 10-50%

Background: The Order is a semi-religious organization who’s aim is to promote the Humans. They chiefs regret the scission of the Empire and the creation of the South Kingdom but they stay neutral during the civil war.
Because of that, if there’s a battle including the Order in each sides, the Unit and Heroes will not fight each other.

I don't see the point in having an "evil human army" as Isthak already exists. Background speaking, Alkado is not allied with Isthak... he is one of the Icelords ! He is part of Isthak. I think if people want a human army, they just get the Empire... and truly, Alkado being a Necromancer AND Warlock ?!

Icewitches or Beastmen armies... Isthak rules allows players to play such (60% of Beastmen or Icewicthes max is enough) so I don't see the need of changing anything. It's Demonworld we're playing, not WarHammer !

For the Undead army, just wait the FASA team to developp it - Bruno and I already translated the Undead armybook of Bruno and sent it to FASA.
