I'm pretty sure WYSIWYG doesn't apply to magic items, otherwise there wouldn't be magic items that tell you what magic items another character has. WYSIWYG applies to everything a person would see if it was for real. If your model has a might two-handed axe rules-wide, the model should show it. If ...

Dam'rek, the CoS list I keep seeing in my head will be one of those wide-spread unofficial lists. Not allowed at tourneys, but everyone knows about it and allows you to use them in friendly games. Like that Skaven mutation list.. It's still wayy too early to do anything, but it appears to be interes...

But what about our shades and harpies, skirmishers which don't move in rank & file. I've seen many times skirmishers going into 6 and 7 frontage with models behind. Since skirmishers do not get rank bonus, there is no reason not to put 8 front if you can (against 25mm bases). I'm just posting t...

@Nagathi: I thought the "sacred numbers" of the chaos gods only applied to 40k? As almundis said, it only has/had a real effect in 40k (or so I'm told, never played it, never watched it, never intended to play it). But it's still the number of Slaanesh. And units 6 wide are efficient. And...

You roll two independant dice. Their total score is summed together to create the total rolled. Thus, two dice has 36 different outcomes on the rolls, with 12 different outcomes on the total rolled. It's all maths. It's all correct. I promise.

8 models will be 160mm wide, and wheeling them 90 degrees will take 9.8948 inches. They'd be practically impossible to manouevre around the board. Also, you cannot always expect seeing enemy units with a 5-model 25mm base frontage. So sometimes that 8th model is wasted. For fluff and efficiency, I t...

If he wipes the entire army, gets all four table quarters and the general, it's 680 VPs. If it's a Pitched Battle. Most tournaments use scenarios instead, to avoid these kinds of odd armies.

Very true. Fighting fair is for High Elves. Determining who will contest a zone of control depends on a lot of factors, especially the entire battle match-up.
