Zach82 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Just applied the first layer of varnish to my first Warhammer unit in a decade. I'll think of a snappy name later. Zach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 They look great. That's one of my fave units in the Empire. I usually field a unit of 20 in two lines of ten with a magic banner that gives them flaming attacks. Works great against things with regen saves.

Zach82 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 The magic banner is a great idea. My usual tactic is "My handgunners fire at your troops. They fire all their guns. The fire them a lot." It's a tactic with mixed results. Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach82 Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Grumble! Now that I'm trying to put together a new unit of halberdiers, it occurs to me that this ultimate customization system GW is using these days is WAY more trouble than it's worth. Back in the day, we just glued the 4 or 5 different, one-piece figures into the bases, and we could be certain they would rank perfectly. With just a little filing along the mould lines, they were ready to prime in an hour tops. But these days! Every figure needs half a dozen bits snipped out and individually filed down. You have to spend HOURS gluing your fingers together attaching heads, and arms, and weapons, and daggers, and shields, and legs. And of course making sure they line up into units is as frustrating as all get out. Oh, for the good old days! Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
