Representing Units Clearly

Oblivion NecronNinja and CaulynDarr said that we needed some rules to ensure that a unit's models were consistently and clearly represented by the player's choice of miniatures. So here's my first crack at formalizing that.

Let's Talk: The Dao

Before I can do the Dao Article, I want to articulate the basics of what the plans for them are and try to pick everyone's brains on some ideas. So, join me below the cut for what should hopefully be an interesting discussion!

Faction Description: The Turids

Alien Bug Monster Thing by R-Valle

Turids! I know the first section is a bit of a doozy, but I was on a roll dammit!

In a Nutshell: The Gruin

O_N here, sorry for dropping off the map for a bit. Here's the faction summary for the Gruin, a sort of Manson-ish take on the traditional Orc trope.

Once again, the terrible curse binding my fates to Sandwyrm's has abated temporarily.

In a Nutshell: the Genii

Alright, everyone, time for the next match in the Nutshell circuit! In this corner, the Genii article! In the other corner, the Silent Audience! Let's have a good clean fight; no hitting below the belt, no biting, and absolutely no Hadokens!

Something For Oblivion Necroninja To Do...

Look at him O_N, he's just begging for a write-up! Don't make him cry! Make the greeking go away!

Concept: Adapting Squad Leader's Turn Phases

My alternating Action Phase idea didn't gain any traction, so I'm leaning towards continuing on the classic Movement Phase -> Shooting Phase as a replacement for our currently overcomplicated Action Phase. It's the safe bet.

But I keep thinking about something more Squad Leader-ish overall in terms of turn structure, and Oblivion_Necroninja has gotten interested in the general idea (but not my last take). So here's another take on the idea. One that I think Eriochrome might actually like too. Since it's not too different from the current structure, and would go a long way towards simplifying close-combat.

Suggested Faction: Nekrophants

I'm getting slammed with mundane family commitments right now. But Highlander Burial sent in a summary of a faction idea that he and Oblivion Necroninja have been working on. So let's take a look at what they've got.
