Why Unit Base Your Army?
A simple 25mm square bases simply doesn't have that much room, especially
once you attach a figure, and once of the downsides of individual basing is that
the little details can get lost within the mass of the unit. The best part of
basing models as a unit, rather than individually, is that you can go above and
beyond just adding texture and vegetation- you can making highly themed bases or
creating dioramas within your army.
For systems which require you to remove individual models as casualties unit
basing can very problematic during games, which is you will quite often see
mini-dioramas aka Unit Fillers in many old Warhammer Fantasy or 9th Age
armies.
Kings of War is quite different as a massed battle system,
in that the rules and game mechanics are specifically designed to favor basing
entire units on a single large unit base. This is because you don't have to
remove casualties and each unit has a specific footprint and height within the
rules. This makes it the perfect system to really go to town with extra details
and mini-dioramas for your unit bases.

One of our favourite things about Guild
Ball is the variety of different play styles and paths to victory
available. You can win by outscoring your opponent or take a more aggressive
approach by taking their players out of action.
With nine (soon to be ten when the Farmers release) different Guilds
currently in the game we thought we'd enlist the help of a local veteran in
putting together a guide to the strengths and weaknesses of each guild.
So we'd like to welcome in local pundit JS for some guest
analysis. You can also follow him on his blog Guildballnz for more coverage of the local
New Zealand scene and general GB musings & memes.
