The rulebook sets a limit of 350 pennies to outfit your entire warband. Not always possible though especially if using what's shown on the model as I've since discovered. Which leaves me with two options:
- Ignore the 350 limit altogether by costing what's shown on the model, or,
- Conform to the limit set.
Harry Humps Megan Warband
Allegiance : Royalist
Expert Training : The Strike dice of two warband members are improved by one level, to a maximum of d12.
Members : 5
Den : Hodge Hall (ruined farm estate)
Upgrade : Smithy (able to make own weapons and armour)
Equipment : Each member may carry up to 6 pieces of equipment (2 Weapons, 2 Armour, 1 Item, and 1 Special (which can be Weapon, Armour, or Item).
NOTE: Before proceeding I should mention that I've made some modification to the warband since its creation (such as promoting Gawdy to 2IC and thus freeing Wanda to concentrate on her magicking). And I've also taken liberties regarding the inclusion and location of additional items such as Wanda's Magic Pouch and Penfold's scaling equipment (small enough to secreted on the person somewhere). Also included potions for coating weapons such as poison bolts for crossbows or paralysing swords.

================================================
Darkslyde Warband
Allegiance : Wildbeast
Attuned to the Land : Ignore Difficult terrain when moving horizontally (except Water unless having the Swim skill). Does not affect vertical Movement however.

Den : Glowing Caves in the Hidden Forest
Upgrade : Magical Garden (obtain 4 FREE magical ingredients PER game)
Equipment : Each member may carry up to 6 pieces of equipment (2 Weapons, 2 Armour, 1 Item, and 1 Special (which can be Weapon, Armour, or Item).
NOTE: Because two members of this warbands are exotic foreign creatures I've had to evaluate their worth based on comparison to similar existing beasts. It's not precise though and the existing beastiary is fairly localised to a specific region in fictional Northymbria. So there will be some issue with the assessment. Perhaps the ruleset might include an expansion some day.

Total cost to outfit this warband is 402 pennies. Similar to its opponent. But both are way over the 350 limit.
=======================================
I've also drafted a copy of the existing Warband Roster sheet from the official Rulebook. Why? Because it's easier for me to comprehend why and what I am doing if I just replicate manually what's been given. And it keeps my mind active given I'm exhibiting short-term memory loss more and more these days.
Still some confusion concerning aspect of the Magic section. Initially checked the FAQ as well as the Q and A on the website but found no immediate resolution or clarification. Will continue invesitgating however.
