Just wondering at what size game do you guys start fielding warlords and warlords with mounts.

I don't have one but would like to start maybe using a warlord with warlitter at 2000pt games, but maybe i could squeeze one in at lower pt games.

Does anyone have any pictures of their warlord on mounts so i can get inspiration (and copy :p) for when i come to make my own?

Funny you should mention this, over in the The Hobby Tunnels we're currently running a bi-monthly painting and modeling competition - Warlord on a Mount competition.

Quote:
 
July-August ~ Warlord on the Mount
Model, paint, and submit a Skaven Warlord mounted on either a Rat Ogre Bonebreaker, a War-litter, or a Great Pox Rat. Alternatively, you can submit either a Skaven Warlord, Grey Seer, Chieftain, Warlock Engineer, Plague Priest, or Assassin riding on an Arabyan Carpet. If possible, include photos of the model both unpainted (to show your conversion work) and in its finished form, painted and based.


The Hobby Tunnels are also a great place to hunt for pictures for ideas, there are tones of them in there, here's a few I've been able to find with a quick search:
WarLitters

BoneBreakers

Great Pox Rat

Other

There's not really a set point value where I start fielding a warlord.

Below about 2k though you do have to make a decision whether you will run a seer or a warlord and most people prefer a seer, but I've run warlords at 1k and 1.5k with a warlock or priest as caster.

@2,400 below that and it's not worth it he needs kitting out and you need a seer.

228 or so for a Cap kit Warlord and it still leaves you enough lord points for a Seer with a item or two.

If only I was working on a mounted Warlord. Ah well maybe in a month or two.

I've run a Warlord on a Litter at 1500pts with no Grey Seer. It went somewhat well but I missed that +4 to dispel quite a lot.
2000pts is a good level imo, you can get a naked seer (I never give my seers equipment even if I have the points spare) and a Warlord on litter with as much gear as he is allowed.
Personally I just use a shield and the fellblade most games, no war litters for me.
