Hi everyone,

I play Warhammer 40k and was thinking on comming over to the Fantasy side of things and had a question on the user of scenery. In 40k you use a lot of terrain and scenery in battle. From hiding behind walls for cover, to walking through it to reach the enemy, and even defending it (especially if it holds an objective). Do you do the same thing in WHFB? I see a really neat tower and set of castle walls and such on the site. Do you actually use these beautiful models or are they merely for decoration?

Thanks!

Indeed you do. Basically everything you mentioned in 40k still applies in fantasy. In my (limited) experience with fantasy it can actually have a larger effect on the battle due to the restrictions on moving units around.

How do units move onto the scenery? Staying in rank AND being on the scenery sounds difficult. Or is that part of the challenge?
