CODADsunshine Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Hello, I have some questions about the silhouettes of ground vehicles and vehicles treated as ground vehicles, such as vehicles with the keyword Hover Ground. When reading the questions below please assume I’ve used the term ground vehicle to apply to any vehicle that is or is being treated as a ground vehicle. Per the CRB, the silhouettes of ground vehicles block line of sight. The silhouette of ground vehicles is determined by creating a cylinder from the miniature’s base to the top of the vehicle’s hull, excluding weapons, antennas, crew, etc. Are players permitted to apply hobby basing material including but not limited to, basing paste, sand, epoxy putty, cork, conversion components, etc. between a vehicle mini and its base? Whether intentional or unintentional, this will increase the height of the vehicle’s silhouette which will have impacts. If players are allowed to apply hobby material between the mini and the base, is there a maximum height for each vehicle? Below is an example of the current situation. The silhouette of a Droideka mini (not in wheel mode) is very close to the height of the small base trooper silhouette. If one player has taller Droideka minis, that player can hide small base troopers minis behind their Droideka completely out of line of sight, while being attacked by troopers on the same elevation. Another player, who has shorter Droidekas, only receives heavy cover for their troopers behind their Droidekas. Thanks for all the hard work.

Yes, players may personalize their miniatures and their miniatures' bases, including vehicles. It is permissible that these conversions are included when determining the silhouette of a vehicle during gameplay.

No. Note that the Galactic Conquest Event format's Player Responsibilities includes that miniatures not interfere with gameplay. What modifications do interfere with gameplay is at the discretion of an event's Event Organizer & Consulars. Hope this helps, Seth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
