Araby question

Quick question for you fantasy experts I saw an army in warmaster called Araby... They look really good and was wandering what rules i would use if i wanted to make a warhammer army of them? brettonians, empire, woodelves? I have found a fan-made army book but does any one have any advice?

it all depends on what sort of arabian army you wanted to go for, horses or desert gorrilas, either way wood elves suit it both, empire not so much and brettonians (with all their armour) not at all! there isnt much in the way of stories or descriptions for the araby, so you have artistic license to do as you please!

also if i remember someone at GW had done some sort of araby army before

he uses the tomb kings army lists if i remeber correctly but thats something to go on! hope it helps

The closest to them i would say Tomb Kings have a "simular" culture and some simularitys such as chariots as eliphants and there is a magic item for princes/kings called the sun chariot (dont quote me on that) which you could use for the flying carpet, its up to you but they are more closly related to empire after all they are human and not undead.

and empire does not have to be stereotypical you can have many varried list just as powerful as the next, so dont write them off just yet.

I would sujest you find and army you like the playstyle of and adapt around that.

Brilliant, thankyou Ben and Cassius!!!
