I wonder if the cool Skeledude is a jab at Mantic's Dungeon Saga, in the same was as their Scythe-holding skeledude was a jab at GW ignoring Hero Quest.

Great job rehabing them. I wouldn't bother stripping, you did a good enough job on your initial coat. Grab one of those texture paints for the base and it will really finish them off. I'd guess Astrodebris would look good.

People disagreeing is not evidence of subjectivity.

And at the same time, a single person posting isn't irrefutable. I love Leperflesh, and I see how he thinks the 20ish possible combinations of To-Hit/To-Wound with auto pass/fail on 6's/1's doesn't have enough granularity. There's also problems with his solutions. 8+ sided dice have issues with being cocked, they're too large to roll more than 10 of them at a time, they don't pack neatly storage, numerals take longer to parse than pips, determining at a glance what side is ontop on multiple d10+'s takes longer, etc.

Going to multidice rolls or a d% system would be a complete structural change to the game itself; units would have to be the smallest division in the game. Rolling 2d6 for every Boyz attack is infeasible. You'd have to organize the game more like Warpath for that, and that doesn't even use multidice rolls.

A big issue with his solutions is that the game isn't a d6 followed by a d6. It's d6x30 followed by more rolling.

Related, are there any other fantasy skirmish systems and do you guys like them better. All the other fantasy alternatives I know of are rank and flank.

I quite like Wrath of Kings. It's kind of a Warmahordes/Guild Ball-lite style game. It's D10 based, and pretty quick and fun. The art direction leaves a bit to be desired with some of the female models, though I play Hadross (fish people) and avoid most of that mess.

I can't speak for everyone in AoS/40k, but at this point it seems like if the new base size feels good, do it.

I've got a Tablewar mat and a Gamemat.eu one, the Forges of Mars one. I like the image quality of the Tablewar mat far better. The Gamemat one has a semi-metallic sheen to it that I'm not a huge fan of, but it's the only decent Martian map on the market. Shipping on the gamemat from Poland to Florida was 27 bucks.

I like to leave two spears from the slot tab connected to the feet of the model and use that as the pin. No drilling into small feet helps a lot.

Anyone who thinks the Generals Handbook didn't save Age of Sigmar is dumb, and if they won't admit that it at least popularized it they are also insane.

So I guess I kinda was asking because I wanted to see some of the allegiance abilities that aren't in the General's Handbook and I didn't realize there were so drat many of them.

Battlescribe might have them, or if all else fails you probably can find it on 1d4chan if you're brave enough to go there.

I've put working on more Empire dudes on hold until the next edition comes out - I'm still all about these pyjama pals, but if the rules say round bases are required now I'll be grumpy if I have to rebase even more dudes.

I doubt the core rules will talk about proper bases at all, just like in 40k. However, events like Nova and LVO or whatever are starting to implement stricter painting/modeling guidelines because of the increased GW presence, and modern bases are part of that.
