Fitting on Terrain and angle of the miniature's base


Recommended Posts

Hello There!

1) On page 12 it says:

Fitting on terrain:

When a trooper miniature’s base is overlapping a piece of obstacle terrain, it must be completely overlapping that terrain. Trooper miniatures cannot end a movement or be placed in a way that would cause their base to only partially overlap a piece of obstacle terrain and may not have any part of part of its base hanging off the terrain. Trooper miniatures cannot be deployed in a way where any part of their base is only partially overlapping a piece of obstacle terrain.

 

We are having a strong debate in our community about what "completely overlaping" means. All the base must be flat to the surface? It there is any texture, bump, decoration or so on the obstacle terrain so not all the base touches it, is correct or not?

2) Pages 37 and 38 under rules for ground and repulsor vehicles says in both entries:

Quote

" A ground/repulsor vehicle may not end a move or be placed in a position where the miniature would be physically unstable or fall over, or cause the angle of the miniature’s base to be greater than 45°"

Question is: Does other unit types may end a move or be placed with an angle less than 45º?

Thank you very much.

When viewed from above, the mini’s base should be entirely overlapping the terrain in question. It is permissible for the base to not be perfectly flat; the mini may be angled on textures and bumps and other features. It may not partially overlap both the battlefield and the obstacle terrain.

There is no specific legal angle for placement of trooper minis. They should be placed with their bases resting flat upon the battlefield or against terrain, and may be tilted so long as they are stable in that position and not overlapping obstacle terrain by doing so.

Hope this helps,
Seth
