WHFB - 7th Base Size For Abysmal Terror?

[Rael]

Alright, I plan on using a Vampire Lord on Arkhan's Chariot. the problem is that it going to use 2 Chariot bases for this.

Is this legal, is there a mandatory base size for the AT?

Would you care if I used it on 2 chariot bases?

Pare 71 of the BRB states monsters (anything larger than an 'ogre') can be mounted on any sized base, so the legality isn't a problem.

Would I care? not really, it's a disadvantage after all having a base that's too big. Id still count it smaller, if it was going to change the result of a combat or something, so I dont get an unfair advantage.

2 chariot bases??? A bit extreme I say. I might object. What are you making it from?
So long as it looks crazily amazing I'd allow it

 

[Reincus]

You can always mount something on a larger base, just never on a smaller base.

Larger bases are almost always more of liability then an asset.

Hmm, looks like I'm going to have to do a bit of converting to try and shrink the base frontage on the AT.

I'd allow it (unless it manages to abuse the rules in some way I hadn't considered yet.

But seriously... two chariot bases? Obviously if the model really needs that much space then use them, but it's going to be a major PitA to do anything with.

Monsters have the lovely requirement of "any base/ no base", giving you free reign. Also bear in mind however that your opponents have free reign to tell you to bugger off if you try and abuse that allowance, so don't go crazy! It will harm you a lot in-game, as you won't be able to land it so easily behind enemy lines, between units, etc.A bit of converting might be in order...

I completely agree, but it fits into my theme of an ancient VC army perfectly. It's minimum 4 horse bases (which equates to 2 chariot bases I think) so my options are kinda limited in reducing the frontage unfortunately.

Got a picture?

what about making it flying or floating sort of?
in that case i think you could fit it on a smaler base

Man, that's a great idea. Although it would be a nightmare to convert. I'll look into it. Thanks for the suggestion.

I know the model you are talking about, could be a cool conversion, shouldn't be impossible either. What about using a large GW flying stand for the chariot itself, then getting Paperclips or small GW flying stands to make the horses Floating/flying. You could also probably mount it on one chariot base, and have the paperclips spreading out of that to keep the size down.

Or what about changing the formation of the horses. You could still have the 4 horses if you wanted, but line them up two horses wide, two horses deep instead of 4 wide one deep.

Just an idea. Let us know how it all turns out.
