  1. Thanks for the answers guys, seems like shooting is pretty flexible. Fair to assume that shooting is generally allowed through friendlies then?
  2. Good sirs, My apologies if this has been asked before in the forum. I am wondering how others interpret and play in regards to line of sight (LOS) and friendly screens in front. In sort what is the restrictions or limitations shooting over or through friendly units. I get the sense of using your eye to gauge, but I find this somewhat tricky at times. I am not a gamer, but I have always made armies with the intention of playing. I don’t have playgroup or club to ask, and this form has been ace for providing insights. I wouldn’t want to be “cheesy” but at the same time love realistic warfare and strategy and wanted to mimic this on the tabletop but also be fair and reasonable. (The whole Shooting into combat, neither realistic nor fair… unless your a wood elf… maybe😬) Examples are pictured below for references, cause I love pictures… visual learner here, and I imagine most of us on here are highly visual people ( we paint toy soldiers and then have battles with them). Any help on this appreciated as I would love to hear your thoughts and explanations. 1) Could a unit of crossbowmen shoot through these swordsmen hitting these gutrippers? The swordsmen are in four ranks, making it almost impossible to see through when you look at it at eye level. 2) The 20 swordsmen are now forming two ranks allowing small gaps that make the Orcs somewhat visible to the crossbows. Would this give credence to shooting through screens but it would be dependant on the depth of ranks? ie 2=okay 4=not okay. 3)The boltboyz tower over their goblin cousins. Is this a no brainer? Height makes a difference, but is this a given? If this is generally accepted, could the inverse be true. Could a unit of crossbows shoot over the hobgrots hitting those boltboyz? 4) Would people think this okay. I always imagined hordes of marauders forming a shield wall, with marauders on horse throwing spears over head. I like it thematically, but also seems like a real world tactic. (Maybe not the best use of marauder horsemen, as they should be outflanking and scoring objectives)
  3. Yeah, not the gloss version, just straight up regular shade. I am careful about that because I have done that before 😬I have a full bottle of nuln oil gloss. Probably gonna have for the rest of my life.
  4. Hey guys, I thought someone here might help. Just cracked opened a fresh bottle of Agra, and expecting to give my bronze armour a nice muted down wash… expect that it now shines! Not what I wanted. Looks like a gloss varnish now. Gave it a good extra shake and a stir with a tooth pick and still comes out glossy. I have been using the “magic” of the shades for some time now and I have never experienced this. Does anyone have explanations or suggestions? My thanks good sirs, Gator
  5. Hey chaps, I am wondering if someone could provide some clarity for me. A nice big block of 30 marauders gets hacked and slashed and suffers 20+ plus wounds before fighting. The darkoath chieftain is behind them and has issued his command trait “last gasp of glory” just prior giving those bare chested knuckleheads one last kick at the can. Would those 20+ still retain their natural buffs for “barbarian hordes “ ( add 1 to hit for unit of 10, additional 1 to rend for unit of 20), or the latter being their generic stat line as the last few men standing would dictate whether or not the barbarian hordes is activated. Cheers, Gator
