My 10mm Kings of War project

[fred.]

I mainly played KoW1, and it didn't matter too much. But in KoW2, a lot was made of having heroes on square bases, and knowing which way they were facing. But I can't actually recall the details, now. I think it was around tightening up some of the rules wording - probably common sense stuff to most of us, but needed to make the rules crystal clear.

It doesn't really matter since I doubt I'd go with any bases that don't have a clear front.  In fact all these bases will have to have their front center marked anyway.

[Luddite]

You should try Warband.  Much clearer on these matters.

I agree with Luddite, but will only back him up when Chieftain does too...
Oh..
Okay...

Isn't it to show there line of sight?

Can't charge if they can't see it. Of course this would be a bit stupid as they can change facingin any phase. Maybe it just stops you from charging when you forget to turn the model around.


Some nice models in this thread!!

One thing I'm a bit concerned with is basing the orcs.  Their strips are pretty high and steep so I don't think just the textured paint will blend them in. 

Would I be better off using a mixture of paint and filler for them?  Maybe mix some sand in with that?  Basically I think I need more volume after drying than the paint will give.

I use a mix of paint, filler and PVA which does the job once you get the right consistency,
some examples here http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,14686.msg223647.html#msg223647

I went ahead with a paint filler sand mix before I saw your comment.  The front might need touching up after it dries.  We'll see.



On the other hand I'm kind of doubting my original conception of having totally different basing since I quite like how these dwarves turned out.

Suitably subdued cliffs for the dwarves

Those dwarves look brilliant

The dwarves have come out very well - the black lining on the shields works well. As does mixing the various figures from the different packs.

Very nice indeed

Take care
