Army Guidelines
The layout for armies on this particular page is set up like so;
Each Army is allowed 30 Platoon Points. You do not have to use all your Platoon Points if you wish for a smaller Army making your more manueverable.
Remember that magic can be used in almost any platoon! Just realistically. ;D
Remember Racial Attributes and use them accordingly. For instance, Nords would not be a good choice for magic based platoons and Bosmer would make exceptionally good ranged platoons.

Name:Clan Blackwatch
Platoon Points Used: 25
Colors: Dark Blue and Dark Green
Emblem: White X
Battle Cry: "Forward Lad's, We've got none to fear."
Nationality(s): Nord
Homeland: Skyrim, Falkreath Hold
Background: Clan Blackwatch was formed as a militia for the Falkreath Hold when the Thalmor launched their assault in the 5th Era. Clan Blackwatch is renown for it's superb mastery of firearms and skirmish tactics. Most Blackwatch units are fast and light but armed to the teeth. They fight merely due to their lust for being the most honored clan in all of Skyrim, winning many battles through the war against the Thalmor. Their firearms are imported from the Alik'r in Hammerfell. Their mastery in woodland areas and mastery of firearms makes them superb at skirmishing and ambushing. Their battle cry strikes fear to those who march against them as do the war pipes and drums they play when they march into battle. Clan Blackwatch has no cavalry units due to their occupation of mainly wooded areas nor does it posses many heavily armored units due to their need for mobility. The troops are very well trained but lack in numbers.

Platoon Name:21st Falkreath Infantry

Magic: None
Equipment: None
Background: Unlike the 21st, the 16th Blackwatch Infantry was recently formed and never got to fight in the war against the Thalmor. They also prefer axe's due to the fact that the 16th was formed mainly from those working Mills in Falkreath and prefer rifled barrels for more accuracy but slower reloads.

[AddictedtoMorrowind]

There are guns in TES?

[PsijicOrder]

For this particular page I added the use of firearms imported from the Alik'r as I've read it in many other Roleplays, so I thought I'd add the option just in case the roleplay allowed it. (:

[Crepe the Ashlander]

I like the idea of this, as I used to play 40k and Fantasy, so i'm used to point systems and such with armies. Although I won't be using firearms until I find them documented in game and actual lore, but I do see where you are coming from:

[PsijicOrder]

Kudos, that was pretty badass. x)

[i-m-so-ghett0]

I'm working on officers now so I'll post them soon

[Roadcone]

Here goes...


Army Name: An-Xileel Occupation Force
Platoon Points Used: 30
Colors: Dark purple on black.
Emblem: A pair of leathery black wings (Like those of a bat but more reptillian.)
Nationality(s): Mostly Argonian Supplemented by mercenaries.

Background: The An-Xileel (Ruling body of Blackmarsh) have decreed it no longer suitable for the argonian armies to stay inside their captured morrowind keeps and cities. The rebel armies are begining to organise and may pose a threat to the invasion force. As a response to this the argonians have decided to play to their strengths and form a guerilla fighting force of experienced soldiers to eliminate these threats once and for all. The force will be made up of battle hardened veterans from the occupying forces of Almalexia as well as mercenaries and fresh troops out of Blackmarsh.

PLATOONS:

Platoon Name: An-Xileel Spellswords
Platoon Type: Elite infantry
Officers: Night-Runner
Size: Large Platoon (I'd say 3 in one) so 15 points
Weapons:6 foot throwing spears as well as curved shortswords designed for disemboweling.
Armor: Light, mainly made from leather augmented with chitin and sometimes bonemould. Designed to make running easy.
Magic: Extensive training and experience in illusion and alteration schools for disarming and disorienting their enemy. Some training in destruction magic.
Equipment: All soldiers carry lizard and frog poisons from the marshes. Adding it to a blade or spear tip can mean that minor cuts cause prolonged and painful death.

UPSIDES: These soldiers are trained in the bowels of the Black Marsh jungle. Guerrilla and ambush based tactics are their strong suits. Blending into the background these soldiers use unconventional and unpredictable battle tactics. Their ability to quickly climb trees, submerge themselves in a lake or river or even become invisible for short periods of time make them terrfiying to face in combat. they are brothers in all but blood and use teamwork and their knowledge of one-anothers abilities to devastating effect.

DOWNSIDES: These soldiers are effective mostly for ambush tactics, using them in open warfare is inadvisable as they have no advantage over their enemy other than their skill with a sword. Being hidden and being able to strike from the shadows is essential to their success. Another problem with these platoons is the loss of their brothers. The pact they are made to form while training means that losing a member of the platoon is significantly more dimoralising than for many other platoons. Their extensive training also means that it is difficult to replace losses with new recruits as they will not have been present for the sacred rite of brotherhood. This unfortunately means that many platoons end up dwindling and eventually being forced to disband due to low numbers.

Officer:

Name: Night-Runner
Age: 24
Race: Argonian
Rank: Argonian equivilent of Capt.
Deputy: Tide-Runner (His brother) Argonain equivilent of Lt.
Class: Light Spellsword
Weapon: Same as above.
Armor: Same as above although a little more ornate as to show his rank.
Magic: extensive training in alteration, illusion and destruction
Qualities: Inspiring commander, Unrivalled unconventional strategist, loved by his men. Slightly big headed and vain.

Background: Trained with his platoon for many years in Blackmarsh. Chosen to lead by his commanding officers not for his ability in combat (many of the men in his platoon could defeat him with a sword) but for his popularity, intelligence and outstanding ability to command and devise complex, unpredictable strategies. Hand picked by "Setheran-elf-killer" (commander of the argonian forces in the field) to lead the mission to destroy the massed rebel forces.

Platoon Name: Black Marsh Footmen
Platoon Type: Basic Infantry Interspersed with archers.
Size: Large numbers of basic platoons so 6 points
Officers: Kesh the Mighty
Weapons: Spearmen augmented by some swordsmen and archers. Basic and low cost weapons
Armor: Light regulation armour. Easy to run in and reasonably good at warding off attacks.
Magic: No
Equipment: Many carry Poisons and potions from the marsh.

UPSIDES: Hastily recruited in blackmarsh these soldiers are light on their feet and armed with reliable, if cheap, weaponry. They are large in number and boast a variety of soldiers from spearmen to archers. Their ranks are interspersed with experienced officers and mercenaries to boost morale and keep order.

DOWNSIDES:Recruited and hastily trained many of these men have not seen combat before. Athough fit and able bodied they are only light equipped and are left vunerable to cavalry and experienced soldiers if used in the open field.

Officer:

Name: Kesh the Mighty
Age: 40
Race: Argonian
Rank: Lt.
Class: Warrior
Weapon: [&@%!] sword (Hand-and-a-Half Sword)
Armor: Chain and light Plate
Magic: No
Background: A harsh and unforgiving commander, Kesh inspires fear and loyalty into his troops and sews death and dispair into his enemy's.

Platoon Name:The Emporers Fist
Platoon Type: Heavy Infantry
Size: 3 Platoons 9 points
Officers: Ticemius Lex
Unit Types: Mercenaries
Nationality(s): Mainly Deserters from the imperial army during the war but also many soldiers from many different lands.
Weapons: Imperial short swords and light shields along with an assortment of all kinds of other weaponry taken during raids and pillagings.
Armor: plated leather or chainmail.
Magic: limited knowledge of restoration.
Equipment: Mostly Imperial quality weaponry (Which is reasonably good) but also some high quality weaponry taken when raiding wealthy strongholds or farmsteads.
Background: After the war with the Thalmor many imperial Armies were decimated and routed. These battles left few survivers but enough survived to form roaming bands of mercenaries and outlaws. these small armies are a common sight in the warlands of morrowind as they know they are more likely to be hired in a place where they are needed. After the Thalmor war the inherent hatred of elves these men have lead them to mainly side with the argonians.

UPSIDES:Their military Training and discipline make them superior to many mercenary bands, they are heavily armoured in light plate and mail and have good quality weapons. they are made for fighting on the front lines and causing death and destruction where-ever they can.

DOWNSIDES:The fact that they are not Argonian brings their loyalty into question. They are also heavy and slow and cannot move quickly like the rest of the argonain army. They are costly and have been known to cause trouble for the side they are supposed to be fighting on.

Officer:

Name: Ticemius Lex
Age: About 40.
Race: Imperial
Rank: Was an offiicer in the imperial army. Now leads the band of mercenaries "The Emporer's Fist."
Class: Soldier
Weapon: Ebony longsword taken during a raid of a dunmer town. Steel and Wood Shield.
Armor: Imperial light Plate
Magic: Mid-level knowledge of combat restoration magic.
Abilities: Good soldier and tactician, inspires loyalty in his men. Has been known to disobey orders and deviate from argonian plans in the past.
Background: After the defeat of the army he served in during the Thalmor war Ticemius lead the survivers south to safety. His intention was to regroup with the main body of imperial armies in the north of Cyrodill, however the Thalmor invasion forces blocked his path and he and his men were forced to stay where they were. As time went by he and his men were forced into using the only trade they knew in order to feed themselves. War. After several years the small force he commanded had become a large and well reputed mercenary band serving in the south of morrowind.

WOW that took me a long time. I would love to do some kind of Roleplay with these armies it would be AWESOME.

We should make a sheet our army's headquarters or base, like where it's located and what it is (fort, cave, Dwemer ruin, whatever).
