Reform tool

By KronikAlkoholik, in Runewars Miniatures Game

If you had access to a laser cutter do you think it would be a good idea to create a reform tools for the game?

I'm picturing circular objects with perhaps a wing portion or something to press on to keep steady. The interior diameter would be equal to the corner to corner distance of the different tray combination.

So lets say a tray width would be a unit TW so that 1 TW is equal to the height/width of a tray.

  • 1*1 = √2 => 1,41
  • 1*2 = √5 => 2,24
  • 1*3 = √10 => 3,16
  • 1*4 = √17 => 4,12
  • 2*2 = √8 => 2,83
  • 2*3 = √13 => 3,61
  • 2*4 = √20 => 4,47
  • 3*3 = √18 => 4,24
  • 3*4 = √25 = 5
  • 4*4 = √32 => 5,66

So that is at least 9 tools sadly if I assume 3*4 is the biggest group available (subject to change of course ).

Anyone had the same idea and implemented or found a different solution.

I understand that this is probably mostly a non issue but good to have in certain situations.

Honestly, they will so rarely be usable it probably isn't worth it. Not to mention reform has different rules for engaged and free air, including reform points.

Eh, some wiggle room for human error doesn't mess the game up.

I always just make sure to reform, maintaining the center point to the best of my ability, and confirm that my opponent is satisfied I did so before continuing.

I ask my opponent to stick their finger in the middle of my unit if sloppy reforms really bother them.

4x4 is possible with Waiqar, they can do a 4x3 and maro adds 4 trays to make it a 4x4.

I've been fiddling around with making my own trays to fit proxy miniatures, and I'm considering adding a small hole on each side and at center, so that you could use a small dowel to pivot around. Makes the unit look like swiss cheese though :/
