About the Project

Set against a backdrop of a Civil War that lasted for two years, 1215-17, as a result of the issuing of Magna Carta. A civil war was the perfect opportunity for the leading nobles of the time to grab land and power while settling some old scores along the way. This vying for land and power hadn't stopped since the invasion of 1066 with only the strongest of kings being able to keep their nobles in check. Our narrative focuses on small groups of warriors brought together under a lord or baron to raid and steal or defend land and property. With the strong, wise, cunning and lucky aiming to rise out of this civil strife in a better position than when it started. The Barons' War skirmish game has been written to enable players to fight out tabletop battles against the backdrop of the First Barons’ War between rival Barons or rival factions who find themselves on either side of the conflict. The game is historically themed, the gameplay is fast-paced and tactical with plenty of narrative and where force building presents you with lots of options enabling two players to muster very different retinues. However, as intended, this is an alpha set of rules which does not include rules for siege warfare, although rules for fighting in buildings are included. Campaign rules are something that will be addressed at a later date and released online. Having grown out of the Barons’ War Kickstarter project, the intention is for this ruleset to develop into a system that could be used throughout the Medieval period. Starting with England from when the Western Roman Empire withdrew around 410 AD to 1485 AD when Richard III died at the Battle of Bosworth Field. This presents us with a huge span of history for gaming which can be broadly divided into Romano-British, Anglo-Saxon and Viking, Anglo-Norman, Angevin and Plantagenet. And that’s just when looking at it from Great Britain. With warriors of this period being pretty similar, it would be easy to use the profiles in this rulebook to play out tabletop battles in any setting. Over time we see these rules evolving with additional warriors, characters, abilities and scenarios being added starting with the Dark Ages, the Anarchy and the Crusades and shared to www.warhost.online, which has been set up to be the community website for the game.

Mounted Sergeants for St Mary de PratisMounted Sergeants for St Mary de Pratis

My latest units for my Barons’ War: project is completed and I have finished two units of mounted sergeants, one with hand weapons and one with spear for my Milites Christi of St Mary de Pratis.

They are not my normal lovely metal figures from Footsore and sculpted by Paul Hicks but rather plastics from Conquest Games, hand weapons and Fireforge Games, spears.

The buildings are from Warhost as STLs and Footsore are physical miniatures.

The banner has been created by me based on an 13th century illustration.

Welsh Horse and Mounted Sergeants with CrossbowsWelsh Horse and Mounted Sergeants with Crossbows

I have finished my Welsh horse for my Barons’ War game along with some English mounted Sergeants.

I really love the Welsh from Footsore sculpts, they are full of character and poise and only realise I need more of them, lol.

The mounted Sergeants with crossbows are from Fireforge Games and are serviceable but in my opinion lack character or something.

Come Andy Hobday and Paul Hicks, I need some mounted sergeants with crossbows, lol.

Yes I have got the banners narrowed down to 6, but which one?

I have changed the banner a little as it looked a little too Orthodox, with the Chi and the style of cross but also with the red colour too. So I have changed the banner to a cream or black one and also have changed the font to a less modern looking one.

What do you think, which one should it be? cream background or black, with text or not?

I have created a banner for my Milites Christi of St Mary de Pratis Abbey for my Barons’ War Game.

I actually know that they didnt have a banner, let alone a battle banner but I wanted something to make them stand up.

So I have based the banner of a 13th century artwork of St Mary and the devil and here it is.

What do you think and which one is best?

Brian Bóruma mac CennétigBrian Bóruma mac Cennétig

Brian Boru (Middle Irish: Brian Bóruma mac Cennétig; modern Irish Brian Bóramhac. 941 – 23 April 1014) was an Irish king who ended the domination of the High Kingship of Ireland by the Uí Néill and probably ended Viking invasion/domination of Ireland. Brian built on the achievements of his father, Cennétig mac Lorcain, and especially his elder brother, Mathgamain. Brian first made himself king of Munster, then subjugated Leinster, eventually becoming High King of Ireland. He was the founder of the O’Brien dynasty, and is widely regarded as one of the most successful and unifying monarchs in medieval Ireland.

With a population of under 500,000 people, Ireland had over 150 kings, with greater or lesser domains. The Uí Néill king Máel Sechnaill mac Domnaill, abandoned by his northern kinsmen of the Cenél nEógain and Cenél Conaill, acknowledged Brian as High King at Athlone in 1002. In the decade that followed, Brian campaigned against the northern Uí Néill, who refused to accept his claims, against Leinster, where resistance was frequent, and against the Norse-Gaelic Kingdom of Dublin. Brian was described in the Annals of Ulster as ardrí Gaidhel Erenn & Gall & Bretan, August iartair tuaiscirt Eorpa uile (High King of the Gaels of Ireland and the Norse foreigners and the Britons, Augustus of all north-western Europe), the only Irish king to receive that distinction in the annals.

Brian’s hard-won authority was seriously challenged in 1013 when his ally Máel Sechnaill was attacked by the Cenél nEógain king Flaithbertach Ua Néill, with the Ulstermen as his allies. This was followed by further attacks on Máel Sechnaill by the Germanic Norsemen of Dublin under their Norse king Sigtrygg Silkbeard and the Leinstermen led by Máel Mórda mac Murchada. Brian campaigned against these enemies in 1013. In 1014, Brian’s armies confronted the armies of Leinster and Dublin. The resulting Battle of Clontarf saw Brian killed, his army nonetheless victorious against the Leinstermen and Norsemen. The battle is widely lauded as a pivotal moment in Irish history, and is well known in popular memory.

Brian was well regarded by contemporary chroniclers. The Norse-Gaels and Scandinavians also produced works mentioning Brian, including Njal’s Saga, the Orkneyinga Saga, and the now-lost Brian’s Saga. Brian’s war against Máel Mórda and Sigtrygg was to be inextricably connected with his complicated marital relations, in particular his marriage to Gormlaith, Máel Mórda’s sister and Sigtrygg’s mother, who had been in turn the wife of Amlaíb Cuarán, king of Dublin and York, then of Máel Sechnaill, and finally of Brian himself.

I have used the similar colour scheme of the Milites Christi to use the whole force a unified feel. I have again hand painted the shields when some of the having painting of St Mary on their shields.

I love the one of St Mary punching a devil which is based on an actual 13th century painting.

I have finished my next units of Milites Christi for my St Mary de Pratis force for my Barons’ War game and I am rather chuffed with the results. I reversed the colours of the ones I had painted on these to give a greater various yet retaining that uniformed look for them.

Coupled with a few simple weapon swaps this has given more variety to them. What I am very proud of is the hand painted shields of St Mary and I thing it sets the right tone for them.

The nice thing is that I can and will be using them for Warhosts new Barons’ War Kiskstarter Outremer.

I have finished all my Welsh by Footsore, well the foot part, for my Barons’ War Game and I am chuffed with the way they look.

I wanted them to stand out from my English and I think I have achieved that by giving them a celtic feel. I have tried to keep it as true to what little information there is and I think I have do them justice.
