Don't know If that was just because were originally a part of the arcane armourial set used on the box art, or whether it's meant to tie in with the back story of Ruglud finding a load of dead Chaos Dwarfs and their armour in a cave?<br /><br />Screening them sounds like sound tactical advice - mind you I'd always pictured Snotlings as strutting around behind their larger cousins, aping them and thinking they were well 'ard!<br /><br />I have a few spare trooper if you'd like them - as well as some of the command group. I'll have to check which ones when I get home if you're interested.Thantsantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902730729032525538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341832496341749426.post-37955979023486434052014-02-18T17:06:54.886-08:002014-02-18T17:06:54.886-08:00Very, very scary.

The Green worm is delightful, and I like that you've done few of them as Khorne worshippers. I'd screen them with Wolfboys or Snotlings. That might help them get into close quarters intact.Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16662424384597893661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341832496341749426.post-55132938682141657232014-02-18T00:47:30.224-08:002014-02-18T00:47:30.224-08:00Thanks PW - strange indeed!

Many of my Chaos guys are on them and it is such a wonderful feeling feeling the weight and heft of three bigish lead guys on one base. Yeah! But it is funny, the 20mm sized long bases do absolutely nothing for me.

Then they can happily sit there taking pot shots, ready to charge anything that gets too close.

I used this unit decades ago against my opponent and while I loved the minis (and still do), the unit was a disaster: Slow and unable to hit anything with their X-bows, they would get slowly whittled down by elven archers and destroyed by treemen and Zoats. Sigh. But great minis nonetheless - perhaps I should let them out of their prison in the basement :-).<br />All the best,<br />KasperKasperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04073960841888193423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341832496341749426.post-62139446523251770902014-02-17T06:21:48.767-08:002014-02-17T06:21:48.767-08:00Heheh not so much a Deathstar more like a slow plo...Heheh not so much a Deathstar more like a slow plodding unit, with 'Eavy Armour and Shields your movement is a pitiful 3".
