The Children of Apep have 3 type of army. A static home defence force, which focuses of fortification and plentiful core troops. The second is the Desert Raiders. This represents a mobile raiding force emphasising speed and mobility.  The third and the one I&#8217;m spotlighting here is the Royal Army. This is the army of invasion with all the best troops in abundance. The list I&#8217;ve drawn up is as follows &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/royal-army--1024x638.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/royal-army--1024x638.png 1024w, https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/royal-army--300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/royal-army--768x478.png 768w, https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/royal-army-.png 1063w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first command is a big hammer. The Stegosaur flanked by Guards, benefitting from the extended range of Terror the Relic Beast brings, is a force to reckon with.  The Heroic general while detached can move twix the Guard units offering the melee re-roll when required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next command is the anvil. A couple of solid Matix Warriors backed up by bowmen acts as a second line in defence. The General in this command is a Wizard. His prime purpose is to cast Desert Sun each turn to mitigate the Cold-Blooded nature of this army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 3rd command is a mobile raider. The Archaeoptaurs flit around the flanks, looking for opportunity of exploitation. The attached general accompanies the Ceratope Riders and can act as either a fire brigade, or a hammer to smash a weakened opponent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally , the 4th command is the ubiquitous monstrous general &#8211; everyone loves a hero riding a Dinosaur right? The Spine beast acts alone and is looking for attacking opportunity close the main lines where his Terror can cause an adverse effect on the enemy nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tactically, the army fronts up with the Stegosaur block. While a valuable asset and catastrophic to lose, its this block that will do the battering. Flanked by the Spine Beast and Ceratope riders this gives a solid 2nd punch where the enemy is weakened.  The flyers make a nuisance of themselves, or threaten the enemy camp. Finally the Matix Warriors can be in the front line, or a more likely as a 2nd line reserve.  The bowmen can either camp in rough terrain, or fend off enemy light troops who look to do camp raiding of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/apep1-1024x428.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/apep1-1024x428.png 1024w, https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/apep1-300x125.png 300w, https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/apep1-768x321.png 768w, https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/apep1.png 1241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> John at Cromarty has kindly created an army pack based on this list, and it is available from his website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centimetrewarriors.com\/product-page\/children-of-apep-monsters-and-magic-royal-army\">here <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centimetrewarriors.com\/product-page\/children-of-apep-monsters-and-magic-royal-army\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cromarty-1024x451.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-539\" width=\"512\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cromarty-1024x451.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cromarty-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cromarty-768x338.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ttsm2.co.uk\/m2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cromarty.jpg 1065w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nIn this first post I&#8217;ll focus on this Cromarty Forge army.
