The thing is, using that many D&D minis is to much to handle with any kind of speed, so you only end up playing a round or to instead of a whole battle. The reason for the rules convertion is so that you can field large armies, without a battle taking all day.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3344747.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3344747.page GMT Can you use WHFB for D&D armies?
You cant really do large battles in DnD, at least in my experience, the best way to do them is to have the PCs interact with a small portion(s) of the battle and have the greater picture and outcome of it flow through narrative.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3344767.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3344767.page GMT Can you use WHFB for D&D armies?

He is very correct.
I have used the D&D: Miatures before for this, but once you get bast 40-50 figures it gets real clumsy]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3344790.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3344790.page GMT Can you use WHFB for D&D armies? GM should just pick what's appropriate (maybe using points as a rough guideline) and go from there.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3345080.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3345080.page GMT Can you use WHFB for D&D armies? GW miniatures were made for fantasy roleplaying, and only then they decided to invent wargame rules for those who had collected the entire armies.
So the WHFB miniatures will serve their historical purpose.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3345119.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3345119.page GMT Re:Can you use WHFB for D&D armies? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3345187.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3345187.page GMT Can you use WHFB for D&D armies?

Actually, you can if you look outside of the WotC books.

The Swords and Sorcery Warcraft expansion(note: NOT the later WoW expansion) has mass battle rules. To put it in the simplest, most bare bones terms(obviously, it's more complex than this), it treats each unit/regiment as a single entity for purposes of D&D, while characters still act independently.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3345262.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3345262.page GMT Can you use WHFB for D&D armies? I think that mass battles work well in 4.0 as combination Skill Challenge, Individual Encounter, Roleplay setups. I've done that a couple times and it works out pretty well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3345304.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3345304.page GMT Can you use WHFB for D&D armies?

True, you may just want to look at the 4e Skill Chalange system and work into you game, I have done it with Shadowrun and it works well]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3345347.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3345347.page GMT Can you use WHFB for D&D armies? GW will find you and bury you under lawsuits until you suffocate. Happened to a friend I once knew. Kinda sucked, but I got all his D&D stuff so I'm cool with it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3348298.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398353/3348298.page GMT
