Re: A band of gladiators (PLOG update 11-9-2010 again!)

cool. Sounds very logical. It does make me wonder however, how do you bake it without melting the plastic? Does it bake at a low temperature or do you sculpt, remove the plastic bits, bake it and stick them back on?

Re: The PG/WL Crutch

I think the question should not be what do you take, but why do you take it? What are you trying to accomplish? The why of big block of WL or PG is pretty clear. If you want to take big blocks they are the units of choice. They are survivable, unlikely to run, have nice special rules and hit (very) ...

Re: A band of gladiators (PLOG update 11-9-2010 again!)

It looks great, altough I must say I had my doupts when it was still 'rainbow' coloured... But undercoated it looks amazing.

What is the orange stuff you use to create the model? And why this and not just all greenstuff (and vise versa, why still use green stuff for the smaller parts)?

Not sure I agree here. You can argue that it is similar to the effect of the engine of the gods, which is discussed in this tread: tread . A lore atribute is a magical effect that takes place in the magic phase. It is not a spell. So why does one work and the other not? In my opinion it is either th...

This depends on who you ask and it is still open to debate. The way this rule is worded allows 2 interpretations. 1.

Re: A treatise on Force Concentration

The spearmen are great for that price though, for 9 points you get an additional rank of fighting, yeah they may sound expensive but 9 points per model for a unit that always strikes first and gets a reroll to hit against nearly everyone? Thats a great unit. By comparison many complain about the da...

Re: Different sized mounted character vs. flank shot

You hit the character on the end of the unit. There is only 1 model on the flank, so that is what you hit. And, in this case, no Look out Sir as they are of a different troop type.

The problem is not so much t3 vs t4 or armour etc, but also the points cost. our spearmen are 9 points each, LSG are 13. for a decent sized unit you pay big amounts of points. And they are still only t3 with a 5+ armour save. And with step up they still die fast. Example. They 'great' HE tarpit ment...

Re: Seas of Blood - Naval game attempt

It sounds like a fun idea. I do have a few remarks. The thing with the tasks sounds a bit complicated. I would personally go for: each point of C gives you the ability to do C things. So if you have 5 C you can fire 5 times, fire 3 times and reload 2 times, move and fire 4 etc. Keeps things simple. ...

Worth noting that the Dragon Mage can't take Fireball as his army book rule about what spell he can defaults to (Flaming Sword) means he can't snag Fireball. Which is too bad, because Fireball is a good lead-in for other firery doom and Flaming Sword is now more of a unit-friendly augment and less ...

You could also go to the other extreme. Instead of not wanting to die they realy want to die, but they are not sure about the when or where. There was some 'static' on the line when they got their view of their dead and thus they only know that they will die, but they are unsure about the location. ...
