Hey Guys and Gals,
I finally finished my Native Army Book for 8th edition after years of work. Almost had it done in 7th edition, then 8th came out, and I had to redo a bunch due to the changes that 8th brought.
Anyways, what I need is a lot of play testing to find out what is over powered, under powered or just unclear. That's where I hope all you folks come in.
Anyways if you are interested the rules are here
http://www.scribd.com/doc/138868941/Native-Army-Book and I also made 28mm horse stand ins, if you want to print them and glue them to card stock, if you don't have the minis for it.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/137731063/Stand-ins-For-MiniaturesFrom there I'm hoping people can post their findings in this post. Thanks in advance.

So Playtested my first game, it was a win. One item did prove to be overpowered, the Banner of Ku'Suk'Seai, though I was fighting Wood Elves which was mostly a shooty list, however the item should now read:
"The unit is immune to all mundane missile fire (Magic Missiles or Magic Weapons/Warmachines still effect the unit as normal), however anytime the unit is effected by such an attack roll a d6 on the roll of a 1 the banner is used up and works as a mundane banner of the same type (either standard or battle standard)."
This was my list:
Native 1500
Sewati - Big Chief - 100
12 Bow, 3 LA, 27 Stallion
30 Buffalo Shield, 15 Uilata Amulet, 15 Axe (Sword) of Striking
65 Marks of Bear, Snake, Turtle
+1S, +1 Attack on Charge, 3+AS (not modifiable), 5+ ward, +1 to hit cc
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 267
Shaman - 60
35 lvl 2, 15 Warhorse
45 Amulet of Protection, 20 Fox Spirit Companion
6+ AS, 4+ Ward, MR (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 175
Chief - BSB - 75
2 shield, Stallion 27
50 Armor of Destiny
45 Mark of Bear and Snake
+1S, +1 Attack on Charge, 3+ AS, 4+ Ward
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 199
CORE
Lightning Horses - 5 x Horsemen with Spears, Bows = 90
Thunder Horses - 5 x Horsemen with Spears, Bows = 90
The Red Wolves -20 x Hunters with Multiple Tomahawks, LA, Full Cmd = 210
Wolves of the Woods - 20 x Hunters with bows, LA and scouts, Standard = 150
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 540
SPECIAL
Blessed by the Deer - 10 x Brave Riders with MoB and Full Cmd, Banner of Ku'Suk'Seai = 310
1491
The Hunters with bows did well, but cracked like glass vs Dryads. 8 killed 20 hunters with ease. Hunters with multiple tomahawks, actually fared even worse against 8 dryads.
The Horsemen, where both destroyed in shooting against elves.
The heroes did well but I did lose my BSB in close combat. The Shaman did really well considering he was up against a level 4 caster. Really my Brave Riders killed everything while more core really was outmatched by the wood elfs. Its worth noting that I was expecting to fight orcs, and was hoping to be out maneuvering them, but my friend surprised me by bringing elves, which I always thought would be the bane of the Native army.
