Players too big for tournaments?
Posted: Sat Jan 02, 2010 6:41 pm
I never went to a tournament, but I am planning on doing so this year (finally...). So my question is this:
I have a halfling team with 2 of the GW-treemen and one even bigger one as Deeproot (it's Reaper's Mossbeard). Now even the "normal" treemen are kind of bulky and in my friendly games they often touch some of the opposing players, especially when there are also big guys on the line. And at least with my models it is so, that they sometimes lose paint from a slight touch of another figure, although I coated them 3 or 4 times.
How do you avoid that in tournaments, where people surely come with teams that were painted with great care in many hours? Do you use exchange-models for that situations?
And what about models, that are really big? My Deeproot fits on the normal small base, but his arms reach out far and he is of course prone to being knocked over because of the small base...
So how do people handle big guys in tourneys?
