Recently I have been using a large unit of Chaos Cultists and can see how a big unit can slow down your play. Early on I like to string them out for board control or screening whereas late in the game their role may switch to more offensive.
To allow me to do this and still play with reasonable speed, I recently purchased a series of skirmish trays from local firm, Battlekiwi. I bought a five model "LINE" tray comprising two pieces of 3mm MDF. They were very economical....I got 12 for around $20....and they were in my hands in just over 24 hours. You put them together using PVA and I had them all constructed in 10 minutes.
I intend to have 3 models per tray in the early game.....this gives me separation of approximately 1.5 inches between models so I meet coherency requirements.
Over the weekend I will flock them to match my Cultist bases.
I see this as speeding up a lot of movement helping the game progress.
I've found that movement trays don't actually speed you up that much. With the amount of terrain on tables and moving for assaults, you are lucky if you use them for more than a turn.
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know how I get on with them
DeleteI'm keen to see how you go also. I've been thinking of some of these for myself.
