Flaming Pigs

Post by nickblackheart »

Just a sad realisation that my 15mm flaming pigs will never come out of their box again since they do not appear in FOG. Heartbroken. (A moments silence please).

Anyway, for conversations, sake, If they were used for a one off scenario, how should they be classified? Artillery (per DBM) seems wrong.

Scythed chariots classed as poor?

They had a real effect on at least one battle so this is not entirely fanciful.

IIRC about a year ago there was a post on this forum about them.

But maybe treat them as poor scythed cahriots or the same but only two dice at impact.

Rebase and mix them in with Legion bases?

I suggest using them on a TC's stand as Maximus Sus scrofa

Poor Scythed Chariots would indeed be the best representation IMO with them in BGs of 2s. We have avoided allowing too many novelty products in as they have a habit of distorting the games, but for a bit of fun why not.

Bacon butties all round!
