I could technically play against anyone that used the suggested base sizes, but as my bases tend to be deeper they'd have a bit of an advantage as they'd be less likely to recoil into stuff that would destroy them. <br /><br />As long as you're providing both sides and the frontages are all the same, you're good to go!<br /><br />If you're guys can play Memoir '44 (which I see on your blog they can) HOTT won't be a problem at all!!<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing your forces! I like big bases with lots of guys on them that look more like the UNITS they're supposed to represent!timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-17437664859454735642009-05-31T13:14:44.487-07:002009-05-31T13:14:44.487-07:00Wow, looks like a nice series of battles there. ...Wow, looks like a nice series of battles there.

(also there are rumours of an Impetus fantasy version so i want to be able to use troops for both).<br />cheers<br />steveStig of the Dumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04545185294092527157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-3390199396773324812009-05-30T15:10:09.805-07:002009-05-30T15:10:09.805-07:009 and 7 year olds...?
I don't know... couldn't hu...9 and 7 year olds...?<br /><br />I don't know... couldn't hurt to try...? It is a pretty simple system. I sure it works. I have a five year old and I don't think I could wait another five years to get him playing!?<br /><br /><br />Basing Slotta-Base Figures<br /><br />Two options - I've done both..<br /><br />#1 keep the tabs on. Shave the bottom just a bit to make it flat. Glue it to the base with some sort of cyanoacrylate glue (Krazy Glue, Flash Glue, etc.). Build up green stuff around it. to better secure the figure. <br /><br />#2 Cut the tabs off. Glue feet to base (fi they have big enough/flat enough feet) or drill and pin foot to base. <br /><br />When possible I prefer option two as it makes the base smaller/flatter...timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-89304350023581962462009-05-30T14:49:04.434-07:002009-05-30T14:49:04.434-07:00hello there,
ive been following your blog for some...hello there,<br />ive been following your blog for some time now, i really like the look of HOTT, as i have several large warhammer armies that havent seen the light of day for nearly 10!! years.<br /><br />I have 2 yong sons, aged 9 and 7, do you think HOTT would be ok for them to play?<br /><br />Also do you have any advice on how i should rebase GW figures? (slottabases)<br /><br />Great blog by the way!<br />steve.Stig of the Dumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04545185294092527157noreply@blogger.com
