As said above, Perry go for more anatomically correct sculpts whereas Warlord go for more chunky heroic sculpts.

Perry’s plastic 8th Army are ok, but thinner than the bulky Warlord ones. Height wise they are the same.

Thanks Stuart, will look into that.

Master Chief is correct by the base rules.  There is an optional rule on p217, Transport Units, that you might like to read and discuss with your opponent once you have access to your MRB again – it allows you to field multiple transports as a single unit with a combined transport capacity, but is not in play by default.

Thank you, half expected that!

“It has always confused me why they call our war game figures 28mm scale . They’re not 28mm scale , they are 28mm in height.”

I think most just shortcut it by saying that. What they really mean is 1:56 scale (28mm). That is, 1:56 scale which is also about 28mm height.

Page 115 of 2nd Edition:

Transport vehicles can carry infantry units up to a specified maximum number of men. A single vehicle can transport any number of entire units so long as the totalnumber of models aboard does not exceed the vehicle’s carrying capacity. A unit cannot be divided between two or more transports.

“Anyone know where you can buy Chaplin figures?”

It shouldn’t be hard to scratch build one using an officer or other figure. You just need to find a suitable figure. Be sure to add the chaplain’s stole and maybe have the figure hold a bible or carry a communion kit. However, I think a chaplain’s purple stole would be the most distinctive item,…[Read more]

“Just wondering what you do to disguise the metal base of metal figures.”

First it depends on the base of the metal figure. If its big, I tend to trim them down a bit using cutters. After that, I scratching up the base and bottom of the figure. I then use CA to glue the figures to the plastic bases. When the glue is set I use milliput to fill in…[Read more]

for the smaller ships that have not been produced  Try Haggen minature  located in Switzerland  they have correct scale models cast metal very accurate and average cost is 7 Euro each.

Before I base any figures I score a cross hatch pattern on the base to give any glue something to bind with. Glue my mini to the base, PVA base up to minis metal base and dip in sand/grit. Once painted, and grass/tufts added they look pretty good.

I milliput around the metal base, smoothing down to the edges of the mdf.  By the time you’e added sand, grass, snow or small bushes, it is hardly noticeable.

Yes the putty idea is what I was referring to as filler.

I can see how that would work brilliantly for figures 60mm base with a support weapon because the rise of the putty from plastic edge to metal base is quite shallow whereas on a 25mm bases the metal base is almost as wide as the as the 25mm base so the slope of the putty would be pretty steep.

Personally I stick the metal model to the bottom of the base then fill it up with a putty to levelish of the metal base.

Other approaches are to cut the metal base off and then pin the model to the base, or trim the metal down

No we don’t. Must Form Square is a charge reaction.

The part that states Tiny units can only keep to Skirmish Order is advisory. It is not part of the game rules, or it would be repeated in the rule fo Forming Square.

However, as you know, BP allows you to make changes and tweak them to suit your play, so you do what you like, really

There is one here.

I think the model looks nicer if it is holding the bible, so other models will require some customisation.
