Hey guys,
I'm soon starting to assemble my first Epic army, consisting of a lot of tanks, some titans, and a couple of platoons in valkyries. Anyway, the thing I've never liked too much about Epic is that the infantry bases put infantry in neat lines, like they're in some Napoleonic war. Even by 40k standards, this looks unrealistic to me.
As a remedy, I'm considering glueing together two bases for each unit, which allows me to position the models on a bigger surface, so I can have two models in front and three behind, or vice versa. I have a hard time accepting that my elite stormtroopers will storm out of their valkyrie transports and then form neat lines as they infiltrate enemy territory.
Now... what I need to know is whether or not this will have a significant impact on the game? Will it give me a great disadvantage as I'll be much more vulnerable to blast markers, or perhaps a huge advantage in close combat or something? I have no idea. Please help.
