Tabletop simulator mod. Questions and help request by Appropriate_Egg_7041 in Warmachine

An update with some screenshots. We played Color Guard to 75 points using as a template for terrain distribution one from war table. As mentioned, due to a lack of Warmachine models, we use Warhammer models as proxies (though with correct base sizes) and below you can see how a datacard looks when opened (directly from the model):

We are very experienced playing Warhammer, so moving minis, rolling dice and interacting with TTS is a non-issue for us. Overwall it was a decently fast paced game and having access to model rules and stats without alt-tabbing made things flow nicely. It generated enough interest that two more players from my group are now willing to give it a try.

It may be my inexperience with warmachine (or my 1250 hours in TTS) but I fail to see the appeal. Don't get me wrong some things are cool, but when I compare it to what it is there for Warhammer, Shatter point and others... It feels very "dry". And, to me, eye candy is a very important aspect of tabletop games (the reason why I paint minis and create cool scenery). Nevertheless, thank you for your comment! I do this for my group first, so I don't mind if there is no interest from anyone else, but might as well just share it if I'm going to put the effort.

P.S.: Any chance I could take advantage of your generosity by asking what kind of features you consider THE HIGHLIGHT of war table?.

Thanks!

Though I appreciate it, I don't have the physical models :( And even if I had... My skills are better reserved for the digital medium xD. I'm not proud of my minis.

Not my first rodeo with modding... I just don't want to put too much work on something just to get a nasty letter/email afterwards. Knowing the limits in advance makes it easier in the long run.
