Does that mean that You use Squads of the same Figure?

I know I sound Stupid, for bein' as Ancient as I am, but I've looked everywhere...

I bought all of the Comic Books, Both of the Collectors Guides, & Both of the PaperBack Novels, Completely read the Entire WizKids Mage Knight site & found it to be Kind of Vague....

Even read everything on BoardGameGeek....

Is that Why It Bit the Dust?

ofcourse.
often multiple figures are better than a single powerful figure that costs as all of them.

I still remember one of the fav squads of my brother back in the days: 3 elf at arms of different strenght on the front, plus one of the standard bearers that makes them move faster and one of the guys with shield that passes the armor value.
so he had a very strong "turtle" squad with three heavy hitters on the front. attacking with three elf at arms (using the better one as primary attacker) would provide a +2 bonus, and even once I have striked back, I would be able to wound just one, he can simply attack usaing another one as primary attacker, and the wounded one still provides the bonus (unless it reached its "demoralized" click). plus, even if wounded, the pieces still retain armor value, cos they use the one provided by the shielded guy on the back.
a really nasty formation, and he usually used two of them!

Not the same exact figure, but squads of figures from the same factions. Its been years for me, so forgive the fuzzy memory, but let's say you had four differnet Black Powder dudes, 2 dwarves, a shield maiden and one of the arabian-types. Stick all four of the with bases touching and you had your squad with bonuses.

Oh Yeah, I read something about Bases Touching. Guess I need to go back & Read it again.

Thanks for the Help!

Sorry about the Double Post, But I have one More Question.

Out of the thousand pieces that I acquired, about a hundred have Green Bases, rather than Black.

I can't find information why I have two of some figures, one with a Green Base, one with a Black Base.

Are the Green Bases the Newer Version?

[Gabbi]

figures with green base are from Unlimited set, sorta of reprint of figures from Rebellion and Lancers sets (first two sets). Unlimited was released as a newer "base set" once Rebellion sold out. some of them have a new paintjob, some even a new sculpt. note: the Uniques in the set were not re-release, they were totally new pieces.

Thank You for the Information! I missed that somehow. You've All Been absolutely Marvelous Help!

I've been fortunate enough to Acquire almost everything there is that was produced, except the 3D dungeon Sets & the 4 Horsemen, but I think I've got a Line on them too, should be just a matter of time....

Thanks Again!!!

If you have trouble finding Pestilence, I believe that is the horseman I have lying around somewhere.

Also of note, since it was asked, some MK "1.0" figures don't work so well under 2.0 rules, even though they can be used. One reason was Charge and Bound were changed making old figures less than optimal. Another is that some of the optional abilities (like double-timing or whatever it was called) helped break up the static gameplay, but also encouraged you to do pushing damage to your own units to get them past the first 'click'...and a lot of old figures have their best stats on the first click.

Oh My!!!!!!!!

The WizKids' Mage Knight Web Site seems to be Gone! It's been gone for several days now. Luckily I had already downloaded a bunch of the Files of Checklists, Rules, Terrain, etc; all in PDF....

Today, I'm going to back them up to Disc.

If anyone needs any of these files, I'd gladly share.....



Bump....

It's been gone for about a Week, but Now it's back....

Must Have Been a Server out of Whack.....

Well, Anyway, If anybody needs any of the Lists or Forms, or Rules, I've got PDFs, that I can send you.

[SuperflyTNT]

Thanks Gypsy....I still play dungeons from time to time.

[Gypsy]

I went back & checked, I have the PDF for the 2 Page Dungeon Play sheet if you run out of them & need some more....
