World's End Publishing has just posted how you can create a warband for their upcoming "This is Not A Test" wargame. As TNT progresses behind the scenes, I thought it might be a bit of fun to talk about warband creation. Starting warbands cost 400 points in Barter Scrip or BS for short. For this exercise I am going to be using the roster for the Peacekeepers. Peacekeepers are mercenary organizations that enforce wasteland justice, keep the roads clear for trade, or force their own petty agendas.
The warband below is a pretty despicable lot more interested in lining their pockets and keeping the local settlers under their thumbs. Called the Wasters, they have taken over the small town of Sorrow, which lies just south of the border between the Penns and the Tri-State Wasteland. Beyond the borders of the major settlements, the Wasters are free to do and take whatever they want. Generally, tough, they see fit to leave the locals alone along as their high fees are paid. For the trouble, they do keep the local raiders under control, but they make a point of keeping the local populace just scared enough to pay up and not fight back. Those that do stick up for themselves most often flee the territory or find an explosive collar clamped around their neck. Follow this link for the warband sample and comments from the designers.
