Power bolts are just "Shoot" actions so would presumably not be rounded up and venomous shooting wouldn't either.
Re Wild Charge -- that's something I missed in Lion Rampant as well... Really must read these rules properly.

Martians are Dragon Rampant as well...
Walkers are heavy riders, riflemen are Light Missiles, HMGs are Heavy Missiles &c
While compiling this stuff, I was wandering about the forums and there is an opinion that the undead-rounding-up rule is only supposed to apply to hand-to-hand combat... it does specifically say "Attack" dice in the text. That might have cut down the... erm... cutting down...

Maaaaaartians....
I've got enough stuff for 2x24pt of Martian warmachines but only 1x24pt of British. I've got some Prussians which could be painted up to ally with the Brits and would make another 24 points including Fliegerjagers.

I don't know what you've read where but we don't have a "modelmaking table".
There is a makerspace in Cambridge which is probably more useful on that front... I could get details on that for you?

Well. That was something of a shambles. Lesson from this is that making units "undead" doesn't necessarily work out for high-value units. They don't benefit from the morale thing but the rounding-up of hits is "messy"...
Works out better on the basic skelly-type figures...

Well, I thought 2 players a side. Or more if other people bring stuff.

OK, who's up for "Dragon Rampant" on Monday?
I can bring some spare armies for people to borrow.

Well, the trick with this stuff is to show up and talk people into the idea..
The reason WoG is popular -- as with Dragon Rampant -- is that the rules are simple enough people can remember them from one week to the next and we can explain them to new players in ten minutes.

Didn't you get pin-cushioned by the High Elves once already?

Even when the RPG group is off pretending to be things, there are still boardgames going on for everyone else. We make them take their roleplaying perversion off into a side-room.
The planning for it is mostly because several of the originally normal wargamers have also been dragged into the strange rituals.
Also, as per last night, RPGing takes a lot of rendezvous and doesn't always happen. We played "Root" and "March of the Ants" instead.
The ECW Scots are actually back on the painting schedule as part of trying to convert people away from "Dragon Rampant" to the historical versions, but are currently behind finishing some "Fantasy Warriors" wood elves, because I fancy trying out that game with some troops who aren't "poor/tribal" and can, say, hit the occasional barn door with a bow...
Sick of getting shot to bits by stupid high elves in their stupid shiny armour...

Oh yeah -- Do NOT buy insulation foam. It's got a fire retardant in it. Great idea if you're filling a wall with it. Bad idea if you intend to cut it with a hot-knife because it'll give off fairly nasty bromide compounds.
A block moulder will have the option of structural quality or packing quality.
