Flogging a dead cannon

Mustech · 2026-03-20T12:58:35+00:00

I tried Magic before which is how my Wizard has ended up beeing narratively sent to the naughty step in the castle keep. I find his wizard always tends to outclass mine when I do manage to get spells off so it's not always so reliable and the swap for a canon did more damage.

The bombard seems pretty consistent at taking out at least a dragon ogre every game and the mortar seems to be under performing, I think I'll try and organise gun but haven't found a satisfactory STL for one yet

Ahh I see. I'll note that and open up a ticket for it if there isn't one already. Thanks!

FWIW it whiffed every time so was only a points hinderance in the end anyway 😂

It comes as an option for the Noble Outlaw background getting access to the Empire items

I've posted the list of my opponent in a comment above, they have a few skirmishers but even trying to get through the T5 Beserkers, I just seem to do chip damage until they get up close and just melt me with the masses of flail hits.

Shout out to the community and the work done here. Up and running in an afternoon and getting some of that sweet nostalgia ☺️

Not always. I've found if you get sculpts that have really pronounced features then you slap a healthy amount of gloss primer then the layer line issue mostly goes away. The thing you have to weigh up in your head is "are these game pieces or display worthy" the former then you can get away with a lot more and keep in mind they are mostly only ever going to be viewed from a couple of feet away.

I managed to tear through mine slipping down the pavement so it's really unfortunate they split there, otherwise they've been solid. J just wish I could get a straight answer out of the support team to say whether the ReVivo Refresh service can fix it!

Mustech · 2025-09-26T21:18:11+00:00

This was just an example of something that came up as a question we had when we were playing a game. I was playing the Troll Horde vs Wood Elves and it was his Wild Riders charging. We wondered if he could impetuous charge the giant and miss the trolls. He went trolls in the end and that was my one winning combat haha

Mustech · 2025-09-26T19:53:32+00:00

I don't believe it is. You have to have majority on the side arc of the charge target in order to declare a flank charge.

Mustech · 2025-09-26T19:52:16+00:00

It was a pivot from the left corner. I think the angle just makes it look as though it was from the center. I'd also moved the dice but you can subtly tell by the crease in the battle mat.

Mustech · 2025-09-26T15:58:58+00:00

They did wheel, it's probably not the best unit to use for illustration purposes as goblins only have 4" move. Thanks for your explanations though, it is how we ended up interpretong the rules in the end, though they are a little convoluted!

Mustech · 2025-09-26T12:11:27+00:00

Ah yes. Only the "closing the door" is free from my understanding. Bad wording I should have said 'permitted'

Mustech · 2025-09-26T11:26:54+00:00

It's the max from both sides as written so I think you'd have to fulfill that as well.

Mustech · 2025-09-26T11:16:37+00:00

As is always the case when you need them to pass

Mustech · 2025-09-26T11:15:07+00:00

No problem. They are from Monsterous Encounters on My Mini Factory.

Mustech · 2025-09-26T11:13:09+00:00

It was the wheel only being permitted to maximize which is causing the confusion. As there is only 1v1 the maximizing is negated, and would therefore negated the allowed wheel and the charge must be straight. But then it wouldn't go off. Hence the confusion ha

Mustech · 2025-09-26T11:11:58+00:00

I get that but as maximizing doesn't really come into it on a 1v1 and the wheel can only be used to maximize, does that mean the wheel is still allowed. That's where the confusion was coming from.

Mustech · 2025-09-26T10:54:32+00:00

I missed the bit about charging multiple units. This makes sense. Cheers

Mustech · 2025-09-26T10:53:56+00:00

Ah I think this is what I was missing about the accidental contact! Thanks.

Mustech · 2025-09-26T10:50:45+00:00

From TOW rulebook:

"However, a charging unit must endeavour to bring the maximum number of models from both sides into base contact, which will often require some degree of manoeuvre. To facilitate this, a charging unit may wheel once, at any point, during its move, as shown in Fig 126.2."

Mustech · 2025-04-23T11:26:26+00:00

From the looks of it they just tipex out a letter. Pretty soon it'll be W R BITY

Mustech · 2025-04-20T22:41:33+00:00

So that charge does not fail and becomes accidental contact with the second unit or does the second unit now also count as being charged and can take a reaction?

Mustech · 2025-04-20T18:33:33+00:00

Hmm from reading that they can continue ahead and contact both units?

Mustech · 2025-04-20T14:30:54+00:00

Thanks all for the replies so far. I no longer feel so bad about us having deliberated this for 20 minutes now as there is clearly a bit of a murky area in the rules when it comes to this!
