Wargamers and Dungeoneers of TTS, behold! I, the Exalted Vess, have heard your pleas and from the depths of my mystic vaults bestow upon you these treasures: Pretty squares and discs!

Over these past few months I have continually discussed the topic of model bases with many of you within the TTS community who subscribe to and follow my work. For those of you less familiar with my process, especially when it comes to models/modeling, I generally release content in large quantities ranging anywhere from 50 to up to 1000+ individual/unique models at a time depending on their complexity and variation. So, variety and versatility are key parts of any project I'm working on since the last thing I want to do is have to go back and change hundreds of files. I'd much rather have the option of adding new material, which brings me back to the purpose of this model pack!

Unlike Warhammer 40k, Fantasy Battles uses "square bases" vs the "round bases" used in 40k and some other games. This is because units in WHFB are often closely packed together and move in boxy formations as opposed to "squad mechanics" where smaller numbers of units spread out across cover. However, I decided to create and include circular versions of each base anyway for whatever reason you may want or prefer them! Furthermore, I made 5 different versions of the square tiles that can just as easily be used as map terrain for RPGs as it is for easily basing large numbers of units for Wargames. In addition to creating various terrain themed bases, I made unique faction themed bases for each of the Warhammer armies I have finished. The exception being the Dwarves since I am halfway done with them and should be releasing them sometime next week.

Though I still plan on eventually releasing based versions of my Warhammer collections, these separate bases can be manually attached to my or anyone else's models in-game using the "Joint" tool! Now you might be wondering "What's this 'Joint tool' and how do I use it?" Ser Robert asked me this in the Discussions section of my Greenskins Army collection, so i'll repost my response:

"As for your question, there is a tool in TTS called "Joint" which you will find with the rest of the in game tools. Its icon looks like a metal chain and if you hover your mouse of the icon it will tell you a little bit of info about what it does. In short, it's like gluing 2 or more objects together depending on how you use it. So in this case, you would take whatever you intend on using as a "base" and put one of my Warhammer models on top of it or in whatever position you want it to stay in. Then you click the joint tool, click one of the objects and then drag the link over the 2nd object you are linking it with. After that you can right click the first object and you will now see a "joint" tab below "custom". Here is where you can adjust/change the properties of the joint. For what you are trying to do just use the "Fixed" option which should be the default anyway."

You can also read a bit more about the function of Joints here at Berserk Games website: http://berserk-games.com/032015-update-v4-2-joints-physics-game-master/



If there is anything I missed or am mistaken about please feel free to let me know so I can make the necessary changes to better help people understand!

Feb 29-Created hexagon tiles as per request!


As a side note I'd like to make a little request:

I spend a considerable amount of my free time, when not working or in school, to make models and their textures and bring them into TTS. It would mean a lot to me, if you use my models or their textures in your own Workshop uploads, to just mention/credit me and my work somewhere in your description and post a link back to the specific mod or my Workshop. I try to do the same in anything I upload and give credit where credit is due.

I hope that you find this and my other work useful in enhancing your TTS experience. If you enjoyed this mod make sure to like, follow and leave me feedback or anything you feel like sharing.
