Filling Large Bases

On todays episode I talk about how to fill the space on a large bases.

I have been building a Hellcannon and was unsure how to go about making it look like it fills the huge base it comes on rather than getting list in the middle of it.

On this episode I talk about the things I have done to make it look a like a small diorama without needing to spend too much time on it or do anything that requires any sort of advanced modelling skills.

While I did this on my Hellcannon the same would apply to similar models that have lots of space on their bases.

Here are some Work In Progress pics of my base.

WWCD High Elves Monster Lists

I couldn’t let the High Elves release ‘fly’ by (see the pun….) without doing a high elves monster lists review, so in this episode I talk about some of the options that you have for putting out a full on high elves monster list  and the book has a few different kinds of list that could work.

In all the lists the core section will be very similar. I would look at taking large Silver Helm unit for mobile steadfast breaking and then some reavers to back it up.

Magic Numbers

In Warhammer certain numbers are reoccurring and in this episode I will run through the common numbers and talk about their application in different areas of the game.

I mention lots of different numbers and how they are useful but I also summaries and give what I think are the most important number that you should remember.

Each army has different number that are important for different reasons.  I talk about the magic numbers for my Dark Elves and how I settled on those numbers.

High Elves Elites

On todays episode I talk about High Elves Elites and follow up the fridays WWCD High Elves where I briefly mentioned the differences between Swordmasters, White Lions and Phoenix Guard.

Today I compare these 3 units and their pros and cons.

They each have their own advantages and disadvantages.  Strength vs Number of Attacks vs Survivability and lots more.
